Is this running a lift kit or am I so used to looking at cars running lowered springs that this looks a bit high?

Mk7 Golf R Discussion Thread

As I'm getting excited about picking up my LSG R this coming week, I have been looking into potential wheels. After I bit of searching, I have found the ones I want. I think they will be quite expensive though, I'm going to get a quote from Volkspower in Burwood (VIC) and see if it's a viable option, here they are; (please excuse the YouTube images as I wanted to find the wheel on the colour I'm getting)
*Also note I'll have the sunroof which will black out a section of the roof which will make the wheels look even better.

Thoughts would be appreciated.

I suspect the latter - the problem of adding after market wheels on a base or lower end model minus any lowering at all. I'm not sure if the USA still has different heights on the Mk7 but I'm sure I recall on previous models they did run a higher level for some reason which may exaggerate the problem.

ugly rims imo, but hey, if you like them thats what matters

drove my first golf ever today - a nice DSG mk7 R at a dealer in perth.

I was a very nice surprise to be so impressed with a completely stock car.

Tyres: Hankook Ventus V12 235/35/19
Other: H&R springs









These wheels have been finished off with a black outer lip which has changed the look a fair bit - for me, a silver lip transforms this wheel into something really special.

That is the most moronic colour combination I think I've ever seen on a wheel... and that's saying *a lot*. Way to take a nice rim and make it look like a 15" running 70 profile tyres just like grandpa's Camry.

They were around $1k per rim when first released locally, but that was with a slightly more favourable exchange rate.

Definitely a quality wheel with a long VAG history, but plenty of other good choices once you start talking that kind of budget.

A set of HRE FF01s in tarmac would look sweet if you're set on a black wheel.

To put Adam's mind at east again. About as good as it gets.

As said already you should go with what you like. I think they are nice but too similar for me to audi rotors and are very pricey wheel. Dutch's suggest is worth a look too.

Thanks Dutch, I'm definitely hesitant to spend $1k per wheel. Extremely pricey. I do enjoy some of the HRE wheels, always been a fan of the P101's. I'll definitely keep perusing this thread, my R will come with the Cadiz wheels which are still nice.

I'm definitely a big fan of these, but the price is quite off putting. I'll keep looking around though. Thanks for the input.

Hi all,

Wondering if you can plse help me out with regards to the correct size needed for my vehicle.

I own a 2015 GTI PP.
So the stock rims are the Santiago with specs 19 x 7.5

I want to get CH-R's on the girl, in 19's.
So based on there website they have no 19 x 7.5 but have 19 x 8.5.
I have no idea what off set I need to go for. And I do not want them sticking out...
Seems they have 51, 48, 40 and 32 in offset.
Would you guys know which ET would be applicable to the GTI PP?
And would the 19 x 8.5 work at all?

Cheers Peter
