The Official Mk7 Wheel Thread

[RSW_BR]

thank you for the feedback

earlier, a friend said the same, so I think this is the way, even more when I think about the stone paved streets in the historical city centre

I run 657mm on a lowered Skoda Octavia that originally came with 205/55r16. They rub on hard cornering because I've got 7.5" ET45 (4mm more outward poke than your rims). 4mm doesn't sound like much but it does make a difference at that diameter.

Your width / offset & tyre diameter will be perfect

To be honest I didn't even know 205/45r18 was an available size.

Rockin the old school look with BBS RS:

Are the wheels on the background car ADV.1? Seen them many times before but I can't for the life of me remember what they are.

not sure if fitment would work ok? Just keep in mind repairing the polished alloys is significantly harder and more expensive than painted wheels

I think you'll find they are three piece forged Rotiform SNAs - because I believe they are the wheels that were also fitted to the Mk7 Golf featured early in this thread by H&R.

I've also seen that Mk6 R fitted with the BBS RS above so this supports my thoughts on their wheel swaps.

ET43 is pushing it on a x 8.5 wheel without some work - avdo's Rays were ET44 and without mods he had a little front wheel poke. I'd say the 245 rubber would cause some rub issues on the guards too.

Pity although I guess the price is reflecting the damage and ordinary rubber.

A few more recent shots of the 'prototype' APR wheels although there are no plans for production at this stage:

being a huge wheel fan just like you, Dutch, I should say those APR wheels bear strong resemblance with an Audi wheel used in some S6 and A6 S Line, and I found a set reasonably priced, almost got them, they're 18 x 8 ET 48, I like their style

There's probably a huge weight difference.

I just bought an OEM set of S3 wheels that look similar. 18x8 ET54. They weigh 21kg with a 225/40r18 Bridgestone RE050A tyre. There's a lot of room for improvement in weight there.

edit: I agree about the 19x8.5 ET44 having too much poke. It needs to be back around ET51 for an 8.5" rim

hey brad

we're almost with the same package !

your wheels are quite like mine in terms of design, and coincidentally, yesterday I've placed an order for a set of the same tyres, still don't know if they will be able to actually sell them, the store is from another state, but the order is there

I'm undecided. There's a hint of the R8 style in there as well.

Oh, and a few for Tuesday night:

[RSW_BR]

earlier I spoke about the wheel, so I searched for a photo, here it is

Audi S Line 18 x 8 ET 48
4F0 601 025 CD



also, I went for a quick photo editing to know how it would look if it was polished or machined with a graphite coat base, and the result was almost the same of those APR

later I will do a proper editing

[Dutch77]

By all means chuck up the edits, good to see there is someone as nuts as I am.

Speaking of nuts, while it is Superman that used the phone box to change I guess this has more of a Batmobile feel to it:

Now that's a really weird shot. And are they 21s or something - they look huge!

Expecting something similar to be taken Sunday night? I'd say they're 20s, that design combined with the suspension dump as added to the oversized look.
