The Official Mk7 Wheel Thread



Sorry not on a Golf but noticed these nice oem wheels in the new DasAuto.

They are 18 inch Lisboa wheels.
Almost like a polished face Pretoria.

I quite like them as an OEM wheel, wouldn't mind seeing how they looked in a 19 inch version to replace the dreaded Santiago as I reckon that would suit the Mk7 shape.

Interestingly I find the Parabolica version on the new Polo GTI far less offensive.

On to Saturdays triple treat:

We've had this car up a couple of times, but a few more angles of the Rays VRG2 in 19 x 8.5:

I'm very curious myself what the et and color are of this wheel. If this is Dolphin Grey like the website advertises, then the et is 35

Not sure on the official color or offset, however I have seen the wheel in a 19 x 8.5, ET45 in satin silver: 19x8.5 Avant Garde M510 Wheels - Satin Silver (5x112/ET45/57.1) - Modded Euros although most sites only seem to stock the ET35 so unsure if the specs are genuine.

Not sure on the official color but pretty sure the offset is 45 - I've seen the design in that size, and the owner of this car stated in a post on his thread that he wanted wheels at the corners but did not want poke. ET35 won't sit flush unless the camber is played with.

Ya, I was gonna say it doesn't look like the camber is played with to be ET35. Avant Garde Bespoke would be my guess to get the precise center bore, bolt pattern and color. Loving the color though.

Agreed with your thoughts although apologies - I changed my entire reply when I realised you were looking at the AG's and not the Rays.. need more coffee this morning!

Same car, different seasons.

Haha I see that. No problem though. If you ever do find out the specs of that wheel, i'd sure like more details on it as it is the wheel i will eventually get when the car arrives.

I wouldn't stake my life on it but I'm sure the ET45 would be available.

Found this Highline running BBS LMs last night:

This thread isn't always the biggest supporter of black wheels, but I am very partial to them on the LSG Rs and ok being OZ doesn't hurt either. Once again I also give a thumbs up to after market tips on the rear too:
