The Official Mk7 Wheel Thread

[Dutch77]

Dutch you are doing an excellent job with this wheel thread. My favourite 'pictures' so far have been OZ Racing Ultraleggera in 19" in silver on a Lapiz blue and Limestone Grey Rs.

The kudos are appreciated, I've noticed a few links to us both in the USA and Europe so it's nice to see the world picking up and following us too. Hopefully a few international guys start posting their setups so we don't miss anything.

I like your thumbs up for the Ultraleggeras of course, I was close to dealing on these but OZ had just released the Leggera HLT at the time and I decided to grab the new kid on the block.

I present further evidence that the Cadiz at least works on the wagon:

You may recall that I absolutely hated the Cadiz but I must say that it has been growing on me. Perhaps it's the lack of sleep from uni exams or maybe the wheel design is more of an acquired taste, but I no longer intensely dislike it. It has nothing on the Pretoria however.

Would like to see more mk7s on Rays though. I think that many of the Rays wheels work better on the mk7 with its straighter and more pronounced lines than on the mk5/6.

It (somewhat) suits the black and chrome of this wagon in particular, although I think they should have gone an inch smaller on the rims (these look like 19s?). I still think it's a rather ****e style though.

I hear ya, I think the Cadiz are working well on that wagon - particularly as it has the chrome highlights to tie it all in. Interestingly it's an NZ car where I doubt they'd have an option to add them, so either the dealer had a set floating around cheap off an R or the owner bought them and had them fitted on delivery.

The Cadiz are still way better than the Santiagos on the PP..

Hang on, are you actually a fake ID for Avdo and Mikey?

Yeah these would be the same 19s we have, not the 18s from Europe.

I've always been an advocate for 18s notwithstanding that the last sets I was looking at a couple of months ago were actually 19s.

I was the same! HATED the Cadiz when I saw the press release photos etc. Always planned on changing them as soon as I took delivery, but once I saw my car in the flesh at the dealership they started growing on me. Now I kind of like them. So until I can afford to drop huge coin on ADV1s they are staying!

A couple of Rs sporting different looks:

MIRO 112
Specs: 18 x 8.5, ET35, weight tbc

Plastidipped Dijons at a guess:

While we are on the black theme, another look at powder coated Austins; I guess you can make your own call on it:

[xxtrickzxx]

They look like those 3sdm 0.05's on that blue R,very retro looking and not really my thing but I think it looks good.

ADV.1s would certainly be a nice upgrade though! Make sure you post it up on here when you get them. I hear the wait time is around 6-9 months though, but totally worth it!

I can neither confirm or deny such allegations. But those members must have terrific taste [emoji6]
