The Official Mk7 Wheel Thread

[Dutch77]

The oz ultraleggeras look so much better even with the over size wheels in grey/silver/anthracite compared to the more conventional sized black wheel

I'm with you there.

Thank you Dutch77, I found the spokes on the Leggera slightly too thin for my liking, otherwise I will definitely consider them!

All cool, each to their own - agree with Brads sentiments, if all other aspects line up ultimately go for the wheel YOU like.

Personally never been a huge fan of the Ultraleggera, although on some Mk7s they have looked good (and one sold Tig), which is why I fell in love with the Leggera HLTs when they were released - especially as they had the slightly thicker spoke.

Check out my letter in the latest MOTOR magazine! I should have mentioned wheels actually. Wheels are the simplest thing to change!

Can you give me a précis?

I'm running a few issues behind in reading and need to wait till my old man finishes the current issue to then forward to me from Adelaide before I have a hope of seeing it!

Five for Wednesday:

Bonus pics of some BBS LM-Rs.. originally in 5x130 ET55 fitment but back to 5x112 42DD 15mm adapters (illegal in Australia) to drop to ET40 from the owner, as well as 225/35 tyres and VWR springs:

I reckon the OZ Ultralegerra's don't look too shabby:

[Dutch77]

Agreed, that's one of the Ultraleggera cars that comes up well - although my favourite was still the grey GTI from Germany posted a fair while back. But given the choice I'd pick the Leggeras over Ultraleggeras every single time.

But there are Golf buyers who actually like Santiagos and Cadiz, best to resort to my usual: each to their own.

Let's all agree that the Pretoria's are the best oem wheels on the mk7 haha

For OZ Racing, I really like their Superturismo GT(love the style as well as the red letters), however I think they are around $2400 in Aus, which is way above what I can swallow, also I don't think they are very light either(around 24 lbs each I think).

Just sold my ultralegeras with contisport and now looking for another one to replace it. Thinking of something with dish set up this time. Been looking at BBS but the price on those are abit sky high maybe a China copy? [emoji12]

That's why we have the BBS SR ! Affordable but still super sexy!

No arguments here. Best VW design since the underrated but now fairly timeless Omanyt.

Anything not in the HLT range is fairly heavy in the OZ range, but they do have awesome quality and strength.

IMO the LM looks better than the GT, the 'scalloped' centre just looks much better to me.

Leggera HLT is where it's at.

If you are keen on new though drop me a PM, reasonably sure we can sharpen the $2,400 a little.

You're fishing for a reaction on this thread that openly supports originals?

Speaking of BBS, a set of CH in 18 x 8.5 ET35 size (would not be legal locally):







As usual my thoughts are the Mk7 needs CH-Rs, not the cheaper and curvier CH; sticker pack is what it is.

Another car fitted with the new Rotiform SPF, 18 x 8.5, ET45 and riding on H&R springs:



These seem to be gaining real popularity in the USA on the Mk7.
