The Official Mk7 Wheel Thread

[dening]

It's sorta on topic - what was the answer?

The actual car was featured here: HTF Motorsport’s Golf 7RS Race Car with KW suspension | KW Automotive Blog , I assume a German series of modified production/touring cars..

It's a VLN car. So for Nurburgring VLN series. Pretty cool beast.
The TCR car should be officially unveiled shortly so hopefully that looks cool.

Look forward to seeing more of this - if you spot it along the way feel free to post anything up on it.

Which set?

Now I normally steer clear of mock-ups and artwork in here, although we do feature some, but these few pics were worthy of a look (particularly the 'racing' R):

Ok back to reality, what about a Golf R ute? Who needs a Maloo:

OZ plus low:

These were identified as OEM Passat CC wheels, however I doubt VW are offering a 20 inch version so I'd still suspect they're replicas. Tough wheel to get detail on, they certainly have been fitted to CCs in 19 inch versions, but the only source appears to be online replicas identifying them as 'Panama' wheels:

Another look at white n low:

I think these are fabulous rims, but going black completely hides the detail and makes them look bland. Not a fan.

Proportion of wheel to car looks totally wrong

[Dutch77]

I think these are fabulous rims, but going black completely hides the detail and makes them look bland. Not a fan.

Agreed - unfortunately as we have said time and again going black tends to do that to most wheels. Not all.. most.

Proportion of wheel to car looks totally wrong

Agreed again. I still prefer the look (and comfort/performance) of 18s on the Golf; but the 19s mostly work.

A few of the 20s in this thread aren't bad (those that are simple or aggressive designs) in terms of proportion; but the lack of sidewall just doesn't work for me.

I suppose 22s on a Jetta are out of the question as well..

Who could possibly think that looks anything other than ridiculous?!

[dening]

Not a real pic I know but thought it might give people an idea.

I think I'll consider this when it comes to tyre replacement and a possible upgrade to 19 inch.

There's been a couple of examples of black Cadiz in this thread and I don't mind it - mainly because inherently it is a simple five spoke design, the spoke detail just adds a little texture to the finish.

Or maybe I've watched too many cooking competitions on tv..
