The Official Mk7 Wheel Thread

[Dutch77]

I'm looking to order some VMR wheels, do I want the center bore to be 57.1 or 66.6 mm ???

And I'm guessing I want the offset to be +45 not +35

If they have 57.1 then it'll be a direct fit - you'd just need some centering rings at 66.6mm, which isn't a drama.

And yes ET45 unless you're planning something overly stanced.

Thanks

There ad shows 57.1 mm available

Now 18's or 19's

18s for comfort and a touch more performance arguably, 19s for the looks and.. well looks.

In my opinion if you're going 19" for looks then you also need to consider lowering the car. You can kind of get away with 18's at stock ride height but 19's just look a little high.

This is also a good point.

The R is running that little bit lower so either/or is fine; but on something like a GTI then the 18s are still passable but 19s start to look odd at stock height. If it's a TSI then definitely some lowering required on either I reckon.
