I've already posted a similar thread in EvoXforums, but I just had to share it with the evom community, as I am very excited about this news.

As a former VW owner, I still occasionally peruse VWvortex, which is a huge VW forum. Well after reading a post there, I wanted to share that 1552 will be importing Compomotive wheels to the US!

Light weight, strong, WRC proven (over a decade in WRC), relatively affordable in my opinion. I personally am diggin' the MO6 18.

they look aight, nothing that I would grab as a first choice since a lot of the designs I saw on their website are fairly flat spoke design or something that haven't already been done already.

Well, if you're going for wheels "that haven't been done" in terms of looks, Compomotive wheels are probably not for you. They're known for having nearly indestructible wheels. Hence their success in WRC, where the rigors of rally racing weed out, in my opinion, inferior wheels.

They've been done before because they're probably the original designers of each of those styles.

Compomotive is old school and really awesome. I love tarmac rally style wheels.

70 championships is impressive! They do look good too. Do the Speedline Turinis come in widths wider than 8"? Those wheels would look great with a little lip.

I don't intend to rally my car; I just like the fact that the Compomotives are tried and true and indestructible which would make them a great set for romping around on the streets (and the occasional track/auto-x lot) without worry. With that said, I'm partial to wheels with lips so I'll have to take the Compomotives.

Does anyone have pictures of their cars with the silver Compomotive MO wheels? All I've found are black MO's on the following EvoX (not mine).

As another vw guy (I still own a mk2 Vr) I just wanted to let you know that compomotives have been imported into the us for a long time! Usacomp is based in Lancaster county, Pa. I run cxn's on my mk2 that they built to my specs cheap! They give military and local discounts if you are close to there you should check them out

Thanks Rob! I did not know there was a Compomotive dealer in the US before. I used to have a MK4 GTI. Do you have a GTI or Jetta? I really like the classic look of MK2s on Comps.

The advertised prices on their website are much higher than what I was quoted from Fifteen52, but thanks for the info!

Also, I live in southern Cali so it's quite far from local.

I've got a mk2 gti... I've owned about 25 vw's in the past 13 years or so. I know when I ordered my CXN's back in 05 from them they hooked me up (i'm originally from Pa... military so I was already in TX). Im sure the prices on their page are straight from the Compomotive Brochure... I know I paid just over 1500 shipped for my cxn's to give you an idea... BUT it did take over 4 weeks to have them built (full polished)
