The Official Mk7 Wheel Thread

[charro]

Thanks Charro. I am extremely happy with the results one of this days we should go for a ride in both cars.
And yes Ductch you did guarantee it and where 100% right I think this was the best option thanks for that.

Hi Sergio, yes would been up for that. Do you ever get along to the VWW happy lap days? I have been to the last 3 which have been great and a great opportunity to meet and see fellow dubbers and their cars.

I think these two are actually just R-lines, not Rs. The front bar has fogs, and the top of the side intakes aligns with the top of the centre air intake:

...whereas on this R:

...there are no fogs and the side intakes are larger.

I like the black-out technique on that first car though. Adds some nice aggression.

So very true. It shows a) I was tired, b) I've lost my Mk7 trainspotting glasses and c) they didn't differentiate it enough.

I apologise if this car has been shown before, I don't recall seeing it. Apart from the great looking wheels (hoping Dutch will chime in on what they are), I love the whole look of the car and of course 400 ponies are nice too

Apology accepted, it is somewhere in the thread, and the wheels are from the tuner who also did the bodywork.

There it is finally I got my wheels on, they look a bit dark in the picture due to the position of the light, I'll try to take some more pictures from another angle later...

I haven't been trolling thru the forums recently and only just spotted that you got some new rims Serg. Nice Choice.They look P.I.M.P.

Did you got them locally or online?

Tuesday fiver.

AdamD, pure coincidence after the last post that these five cars are all White.

We have seen the first car before, but it provides a better comparison look of this owner's choice to give his R a little more visual aggro on the front end by blacking out a section of his front bar.

I realize the top car is a R Line Golf, but what is going on with the lower center grill? Looks like he painted around the number plate? I don't know if I like it or I hate it Haha

Thanks mate, I got them locally . I am really happy with my choice, the car still behaving like if it has the cadiz, I don't like when sometimes you change wheels and the car feels totally different.

I'm pretty sure I've seen in in this post somewhere, if not, it's on the other forum but it's Australian VW forum.

Thanks Sergio...imo they look a bit like the VMR810 however matt black on black is too much black, gun metal would look better as I am sure you would agree with

I'm getting quite fond of the Vossens.

If anyone is shopping them there is an Australian distributor now who is selling at fair prices - don't get sucked in by all the fakes on eBay. If the price seems to good to be true, it is.

Speaking of Vossens:
