The Official Mk7 Wheel Thread

[Gutoneto]

Huge improvement so far - well done. Next up, get rid of the yellow number plate, tint the windows 20% and look into some GTI/R style headlights. The headlights make a big different to how the car looks. Then perhaps a GTI/R front bumper to finish it off.

I already swapped the headlights (not the original R ones, wasn’t able to find a set in a good shape and price, but still looking though) the original ones were in a very bad shape and I didn’t want to keep them (the picture didn't show much).

The plate colour I still not sure what I want, I’ll definitely replace the yellow one. I may get the normal white on black ones to match with the other black accents on the car.

The bumper replacement is in my plans but I want to get some stuff in the interior done first.

Hi Guys,

My car got written off a few weeks ago. Got rear ended by someone that was on their phone

Decided to go for a second hand mk7 2015 GTI, what price point should I be looking at?

I've had a look at 2 of them and can provide links.

They look nice mate. I think the stock issue with the PS4S is the fact that Michelin has just released the PS5 recently. You might want to consider another brand tyre at a similar quality/performance level (Continental Sport Contact 6, Goodyear Eagle F1 Supersport, Bridgestone Potenza Sport etc) if you want to get the wheels fitted up soon.

I like the OEM Speilbergs a lot, but am seriously considering these ...



Probably stick PS4S's on them as who knows if the PS5s will actually be better ?

Both are showing on the Jax Tyres website, saying stock available. Assuming you are running the common tyre size for Mk7 R of 235/35/19. The Bridgestones are $1320 for 4, and the Goodyear's are $1580 for 4.

A 235/35r19 don't fit on 18x8.5 wheel . One thing I've learnt over the last 2 years don't trust whats listed on website and go straight to the source .

I assumed your specs because you did not specify. Most people go for a 19x8.5 on the Mk7 GTI and R with a 235/35/19 tyre.

So what are you looking for, a 225/40/18?

I only put the wheel spec's up with the wheel pic , tyres 245/40r18 I've had enough of the 235/35r19 .

Recently got a 2014 mk7 Golf R. Stock springs. Looking for some new rims.

Anyone know if 18x8.5 + 34 rims will cause issues? Which size tyres should I get with them?

[Righteousness]

Dude, how did this all happen with the wagon and the bumper?! I want to do the exact same!
