The Official Mk7 Wheel Thread

[Dutch77]

They are starting to grow on me, I'll ask them if they know what the wheels will be priced at. I'll keep you updated. Not sure how they'll look on the limestone grey though.

I think price will make me dislike them - they're the sort of wheel I'd select as an OEM option but not as an expensive after market option.. which I will hazard a guess they will be (although the original VWR wheels which now seem to be named 'Cup Edition' weren't stupidly priced - although the TD option was cheaper).

Closest 'off the cuff' comparison I could find was an ordinary photoshop of MSW wheels (by OZ) onto to a Mk7 as follows:



Not really a help, but LSG is one color where I do rate the black wheels, or silver. A diamond cut or grey finish is highly unlikely to look the goods.

I have an update on pricing;

$2895 for the set 19 x 8.5 in the grey
$3295 for the set 19 x 8.5 in the diamond cut

That's pushing to close to well respected branded 19 inch wheel sets.

OZ ULTRALEGGERA HLT
Specs: 19 x 8, ET45, weight tbc

As above, hanging out with a Mk7 bud; the OZ shod R is definitely a good example of clean upgrades:

I think the details of the wheels get lost because of the colour when seen from far.

Always a problem/risk with black rims, especially one as nice as the HLT. The black rims (and Audi RS calipers) are sexy times, but I would've gone with a titanium finish against the red personally - as Dutch has done in the past.

Agree - there aren't many black wheels I'd run, although the Ultraleggera is one. But not on the S3 - perhaps a Mk8 Golf.

They look awesome. Please do let me know the detail about them. Thanks.
