The Official Mk7 Wheel Thread

[Dutch77]

Was speaking color choice in another thread, VW Europe seem ready to trial new color concepts:

I know this is a Skoda but you guys on this thread are the VAG experts on wheel porn, what do you think of this? I ask as an Octavia owner and am thinking of the white wheel option...

I am a fan of white wheels and had set in a previous life on a mitsubishi cordia turbo which looked great. White wheels only draw back is they suck to clean

They look like VMRs Check their site, I don't know if you have a dealer of their's in Australia, we don't have and I don't mind, they take good reviews for relatively low price in USA. The overall quality is questionable though, according to (older, admittedly) reviews in the mk5&mk6 forums.
Anyway, white looks good when clean, as said above. Not so good on black or white cars.

Hmm, it can work but I'm not feeling it. Especially on a Euro.

The Octavia is an outsider on my shopping list so will be keen to see what you do.

It's such a Jap thing. And I say that with no sarcasm or mocking, it just is.

I can think of the (Australian) Skyline specials finished in red with white wheel combos that caught my eye as a young'un.

Was it the VMR label on the promo pic that gave it away?

There are local dealers now in Australia so getting your hands on a set here isn't hard, and they are priced well. I believe their quality is ok these days - they're definitely better than the cheap crap the dodgy dealers sell in their rep collections here. I think the only main criticism now is that the paint finishes aren't to good at holding up to chips etc. which would become an issue on white.

Looking good, pics on the car though!

Not really liking these so much in any case, but aren't these 19s?

Thanks for comments. Its my work car so I thought white wheels would work well with white logo, see above with stock silver 18". Octavia vRS should be on every Golf drivers short list [emoji6]

White wheels + stock brake pads = epic fail

Been a bit slack this week:

I see where you're going with that, although a set of anthracite VMRs would be my choice.

As for the vRS I agree - if I had my time over again I'd be all over it in wagon. Better spec, better warranty, better flexibility and arguably a better interior design = win, and as for Skoda's woeful resale, hot tip: VWs aren't much better. And as my next ride is a long term proposition then the resale becomes less an issue.

If they could get the R/S3 underpinnings and sell it for 50k I'd be even more over it.

Anyway, Golf wheels.. I don't like the design but anthracite on blue works, I'm telling ya.. (Ref BBS)

New Superb is getting very close to this!!! Although not sure about price.

What brake pads should be got to avoid epic failure?
