The Official Mk7 Wheel Thread

[Dutch77]

It's lowered on VWR springs. I find the other springs were too risky to run as they are not DCC "compatible"

Ah yes.. the law.... They're not at the top of my worry list right now, considering that I have forgotten about negative steering offset when buying these wheels.
*doh*

Will have to get the guys at Bridgestone to do a real good alignment to eliminate it as much as possible.

Thought so - I did toy for a long time with adding the VWRs again to my Mk7.

Wait and see; a day to go.

The Friday five.. from OEM fitment to MSW 25 to mm OZ Leggera HLT to BBS to VMR:

[Dutch77]

VMR 710FF
Specs: 19 x 8.5, ET45, weight tbc





Bronze Burst and blue.. note that VMR now produce the 710 in the original format and also as part of their flow formed range - same look but lighter weight.

BBS never disappoint. Great colour combo

This is a quick snapshot after the fitment. The rear is looking low because of the old santiagos are at the back.

Will post more picture later

Super sweet. Perfect colour choice

+1. Looking good wasabiz, perfect height on those springs as well.

Some HRE action for Adam, albeit the FF15 in tarmac:

These is rightly a lot of love for the FF15 - they're such a stylish rim. It's just such a shame that the details are so often lost (at least in pictures anyway) in the Tarmac (black) finish. I'd be tempted to go with a darker gunmetal finish on a white R for that reason, although that certainly wouldn't go as well with the R's gloss black highlights. Happily it's not an issue I need to agonise over myself!

There is SO MUCH wrong with that photo. (My bike is black for a start!)

+1. Definitely a great rim and colour combo. Love those CH-Rs (as Dutch knows well)... aaaalmost as much as I love those FF01s.
