The Official Mk7 Wheel Thread

[Dutch77]

Yeah that's exactly what I'll be going for. 19x8.5 ET42 I don't want it too aggressive as I've got enough stories of yellow stickering in my life. (Not my car) I've also been in contact with someone over East who can supply me a KW DDC for 1.8-2k shipped. That's been over my head for quite some time, well... Before the AUD dropped anyway, need to ask again about it.

That's super sharp for the KWs. Avdo was certainly happy with them on his now departed R..

Another look at Momo Revenge, this time in 18 inch (we've covered 17s and 19s before) on a car also fitted with the (optional) Euro rear valance with twin exhausts:



Given VW offer this part I guess they offer an exhaust to fit? Per another thread under Mk7 this part is specifically available for the 7.

Ok, these are the rims the MK7 Golf R should have come with (at least with the Pure White)

And a second, much better street presence, very happy...

Good look Andrew. Can we have some details, name size.

Good to see doing the shopping at Woolworths Golden Square.

Lol well spotted Spikeyboy! My local supermercado.

Afficionados will recognise them as a set of 19" VW Talledegas (from the MK6 Golf R- specs very similar to the 19" Cadiz, refer a few pages back on this thread), simply reused my Bridgestone Potenzas (which only have 3k km on them) (My Cadiz rims will be stored for now).

The Talladegas certainly look fantastic on the 7R, andrew7! Its a shame they aren't available as a dealer fit option to the car; they're a great alternative to the Cadiz rims.

Great look Andrew. They're a winner for me.

I am going the same way with Tallys in Lambo metallic gunmetal (Thanks Barney). Pics to come (car is due to arrive sometime next week). I'll be boxing the Lapiz for a rainy day.

No arguments from me - the Talladegas are one of VWs best rims and should really still be in the range. Glad we finally got there Andrew - pretty sure this once started out as an idea of black Sparcos on a white wagon?!

Tell me there is a slope away from you there at Woolies though, that trolley bay in the background is making me feel decidedly uncomfortable even in a picture.

[andrew7]

Thanks for the comments. And yes, good memory Dutch, no regrets on the R though, what a rocket (btw saw in Melbourne a few days ago a black MK7 Golf Wagon with black 18" VW Motorsports and dark tint, looked excellent).

And yes there is a slope at the woolies, the angle/perspective of the shot is a tad freaky for some reason!
