Hi,
Does anyone know what these wheels are called? They have Volkswagen cast into the outer face.
Thanks,
Jon

They're the original 14" Caravelle (or Carat) alloys. There's a good demand for these second hand in good nick.

Indeed....these were the original factory option Carat 14 inch wheels. They usually were fitted with 205/70R14C 97 tyres
A good set with decent tyres and center caps will fetch anything between £200-£260 (all depends on condition) they are sort after because of their no fuss direct replacement and appropriate retro look.
