The Official Mk7 Wheel Thread

[Fangbosun]

I love my black Pretoria’s on my TY R SE but I live on a rural property with 1 km of gravel road and a causeway so keeping them clean is impossible! I’m thinking of changing them to a Matt graphite or bronze/gold (Enkei SC 50/Sparco/Ultraleggera HLT) what offsets will work with either 8 or 8 1/2 in widths? What hub size is the R? I apologise if this is the wrong area to post this question!

Hi guys I’ve been flicking through this thread for the past few hours but haven’t found a definitive answer to my question
I have a mk7.5 Gtd that I have bought wheels of the following spec
8.5x19 et42 with pirelli p zero tyres in 235/35/19
My question is will my fronts be flush ? I have read conflicting opinions.
Et42 is the only offset available ( inspiri ffr6)
Biting my nails at the moment as I, A don’t want and poke past flush and B don’t want any rubbing as the car is used daily and driven quite hard
Any help would be appreciated

ET42 will have a bit of poke at the front - the rear will be perfect though

19x8.5, offset 45-50 is best
19x8, offset 40-55 would work

Use an online wheel size calculator for exact specs

Hub size is 57 point whatever (57.1?), lots of wheels come in 66.6 for Audi’s and you can use hub rings

Weds rn05m in 18x8.5 plus38 offset. 225/40/18. I love the overall look and feel. 18s are definitely the way to go.

Great wheels, they look awesome!

The offset sounds fairly aggressive, how’s the front poke?

I agree that 18’s is the way to go, in fact I’ve just ordered a pair & getting them fitted tomorrow [emoji41]

Paging Dutch!

[shauno]

Any guesses on my new 18’s before I post pics tomorrow?

They’re 18x8.5 ET45... I was tempted to get some OZ Superturismo LM’s, but they’re damn expensive and only 18x8, so went a cheaper option instead (again)

I was thinking BBS SR but then they're only 18x8. So my next guess is Rotiform BLQ.

[shauno]

Correct on the Rotiform, but I don’t like the BLQ

Close on the BBS idea too [emoji41]

[tigger73]

OK 3rd guess Rotiform FLG??

Nope - I think maybe Dutch could have guessed, as I’d talked about these before...

Rotiform RSE



The move from 35 to 40 profile is lush, it’s so much more forgiving on potpoles and speed bumps!

[tigger73]

Very nice

Question

I have a set of these Rotors with the same specs....I'm worried about them sticking out too much. I want them to tuck. Would it be possible to machine off about 4mm to increase the offset to bring them in a little more?

AUDI A6 ROTORS
Specs: 20 x 8.5, ET45, weight tbc
Tyres: 225/30/20
Other: H&R suspension

As the name suggests, these versions of the Audi 5 Arm Rotor as they're referred to, are off the A6. Finding a genuine set wouldn't be easy.

I'm new to this forum but I'm overwhelmed by the amount of wheels that I like on my 2019 GTI. I think I will settle on Audi rotor wheels but I'm wondering how big I can actually go without rubbing. I'm finding it hard to find 19x8.5 et45 and I've read that 35 is out of the question. I want the concave of the genuine Audi wheel and I'm noticing some of the replicas look rather flat.

I was thinking about these for my BMW..( they look a bit like a CSL wheel)....is there much concavity ? ..they look fairly flat in the photo.
