The Official Mk7 Wheel Thread

[Wezza]

please don't tempt me lol,if I could find a looking down the flank from the front of the car picture with an non lowered r mk7 with this wheel fitted or the same width but et45 any wheel,just so I could see what it's going to look like,if I liked what I saw these would be on!lol

What Avdo said...... you're not going to notice a 4mm difference in poke. Personally i think this offset will work better with the MK7

Not sure if these guys ship to Aus? But might be worth checking out. Can't be too many of these around.....

Cheers, might take you up on that in the future. I'm still on stock 16" biolines (machined face, grey back) on a mk5 Jetta but when my RE002s run out of tread, I'll seriously consider upgrading. Btw excellent work on this thread, I'm sure many mk7 owners appreciate your efforts!

No dramas, always happy to help - just provides a decent local price option v imports.

And cheers re: the thread.

Very true I've found this thread so so useful,heavens knows why this thread hasn't earned a sticky yet!

Thanks - I'll lodge a request when it becomes the most viewed Mk7 thread.

Anyone know what's the cheapest way to ship rims from the US? I'm in no hurry so don't care if it takes 2mths +. Just need something cheaper than the US$660 quoted to me from the rim website for 2-5 day delivery to aus.

Anyone heard of or used these guys?

Not really familiar with any USA freight forwarders, although there are plenty around now. I remember quoting up with someone on wheels and it came to around $450-500, but cannot recall who it is (and whether it was reputable).

Would be worth researching generally - not just car forums - for USA freight forwarders and check on who is ok.

Again if you find anything out would be good to see your findings.

Deutsche Auto Parts have a decent rep on the USA forums, but they won't ship here = see above.

Cannot recall if ECS do them, but if you've got a big budget then Guy's got those nice Oettingers; if your budget is smaller than it is worth looking at the TSW Spa (per post #284) which I think is a beautiful take on this style and comes in 19 x 8 ET45 for only around $1,120 a set.

VW AUSTIN
Specs: 18 x 7.5, ET49, weight tbc







Nothing out there about Austins, but thought it might help any wagon owners looking for an upgrade to see how it looks. This particular mule is reported to be a GTD wagon.

VOSSEN CVT - REVISITED
Specs: 19 x 8.5, ET45, weight tbc









The CVTs seem to be appearing on numerous Mk7s now. Note the white GTI is also wearing an Alpil kit, while the red GTI is actually wearing reps in ET43.

BBS RX-R - REVISITED
Specs: 19 x 8.5, ET45, weight tbc







Still loving the classic design of the RX-R; and no your eyes aren't playing tricks, the car is wearing a matt red wrap to finish the look off.

Well guys, I have just ordered my new wheels.

Volk ZE40 in Matt Blue Gunmetal. Size 19x8.5 +44 which is the same size as my previous wheels.
Except that the new wheels are much lighter and stronger.
If I dont like the gray/blue colour I might have to powdercoat the wheels in black.

I think he is refering to the picture after your post on page 50 where he edited the wheels on to a blue mk7 R.

I know mate, it was a subtle case of sarcasm

BBS SR - REVISITED

Can't say the bodykit is working at all, but this shows off the alternate finish on the BBS SRs I discussed previously - a diamond cut finish in line with the usual VW OEM style.

Agreed with the bodykit. Reminds me of the 4th gen Subaru liberty after the mid-life update. A very pretty car but fake vents in the bumper just make no sense to me.

Very pretty wheels in the exact specs and finish I want!
