The Official Mk7 Wheel Thread

[Dutch77]

AMG Y SPOKE FORGED
Specs: 19 x 8, ET45, weight tbc
Other: 5x112 PCD, also a 19 x 9, ET54



These bad boys are fitted to the AMG C63 507 Edition and their straight line Y spoke would quite likely suit the Mk7 styling. As a bonus they'd be a decent fitment too - the 19 x 8s are only a 10mm poke off stock. Finding a (genuine) set would not be easy though..

Here is my GTI with the VWR 19" x 8.5mm with 235 tyres. It's also on the VWR springs. We removed the top fender screw and there is no rubbing anywhere, even 4 up.

Guy, comments been made in the GTI thread that DCC and spring changes could cause issues; how do the VWRs stack up in this regard?

I supposed for a slightly more subtle look for the street there's the Fox X-Tuning, I've always liked the look of them in pics but not sure how they'd look in real life... 18x8.0 Fox X-tuning

I'm not a fan of wheels with multiple stud patterns on the same centre; and would generally steer clear of variance in lip color - although I'll give a pass to the BBS CH in black and other similar wheels.

There are a few options for red lipped wheels as below; I reckon a simpler five spoke in black with red lip could work - most likely on a black car (albeit a silver one pictured) - given the other red highlights on the GTI.

VW GLENDALE
Specs: 19 x 7.5, ET51, weight tbc
Other: Lowered with VWR springs and Eibach wheel spacer kit







Well you learn something new each day. I'd never seen these wheels before - from what I gather they came on US ED35 Mk6s at least as a 19 inch option, and also made an appearance on Canadian Mk6 Rs. These do remind me a little of the Oettingers that Guy posted previously, and as OEM wheels shouldn't be hard to source from overseas. However given these wheels are actually going to poke 2mm less than Austins they're going to 'disappear' once you drop the height - which explains the wheel spacers being used here, but keep in mind this is not legal in Australia.

Came across a quote on VWR's page that suggests they have no issue with DCC cars:

yes the Sport Springs work really well with DCC cars.

VWR's (3-door) R testing their VWR springs before release, also fitted with the VWR wheels in 19 inch:

OZ ULTRALEGGERA HLT
Specs: 19 x 8, ET45, weight tbc
Other: JMS text vehicle fitted with KW coil-overs





The OZ Ultraleggeras are an old classic - in HLT matt black as pictured, or a variety of other colors (including green and orange). The HLTs come in 19 and 20 inch sizes. You can also opt for smaller standard Ultraleggeras in 18 x 7.5 ET50 'OEM' size or slightly wider 18 x 8 ET45. As with other OZ, these can be imported or sourced locally, PM for details if interested.

This appeared at the New York show in April, unsure on what the wheels are but looks pretty smart!

Edit: these are VW Luxor wheels, 19 x 7.5, offset unknown but assume around 50 - looks to be a Golf option in some countries and also makes an appearance on sport versions of the US Passat.

Damn so many nice wheels, must look away and resist temptation!

It's like a moth at night with a bright light.

I wasn't planning anything either but ended up ordering a set before even getting the Mk7!

Thought they'd be up your alley.

Can't find them for sale anywhere though - not even the usual OEM suspects in the USA or Germany. Single spares seem to pop up on eBay but not sets.

As for the concept show wheels - they look like a new interpretation of the Zolder wheels, just with sharper more angular spokes which mimics Mk7 styling cues.

Not sure if this was mentioned before but personally I think this one looks good, got the pic from VWAU website.

Yes good pick up, a smart looking wheel for the 90TSI or 103TSI Golfs for sure. Limited pics available on these:





If I was thinking about these I'd be all over this offer of the wheels and Continental tyre package from vwparts on this forum right now for $1,900: http://www.vwwatercooled.com/forums/...age-96542.html

VW MADRID
Specs: 17 x 7, ET49, weight tbc







Seems to be a variation on the Blade wheel above although this one hasn't been officially brought out by VWA so unless someone can acquire via special order it won't be cost effective to consider these - €1,440 before freight, duties and taxes ex Germany.
