The Official Mk7 Wheel Thread

VW DURBAN
Specs: 18 x 7.5, ET51, weight tbc
Other: H&R Springs







Not to be confused with the R-Line Salvadors although they are very similar in design and this happens to be an R-Line vehicle. If you can source these wheels then they work well as an OEM plus look, particularly combined with the lowering springs.

VW MOTORSPORT ANTHRACITE - REVISITED
Specs: 18 x 7.5, ET51, weight 23.1lbs/10.5kg









Another look at VW Motorsport wheels, this time in the anthracite finish.

LOVE! The OEM look of the R-Line. Any ideas what tyre profile they would be running? Fills the arches perfectly with that drop.

Pretty sure there was a close up picture confirming it was just standard 225/40/18s so that look could be created quite easily.

DEZENT RF DARK
Specs: 17 x 7, ET44, weight tbc







Another fairly obscure German brand offering a reasonable range of wheels, these also come in 18 x 8 ET45 which were on a UK eBay site for around $2,350 AUD delivered and taxed.

INOVIT HASTE BLACK
Specs: 19 x 8.5, ET45, weight tbc









I'm actually not sure exactly what's fitted to this car but the closest proxy I could find is the Inovit Haste as pictured and specs as listed, gives a good idea of the look of this style of wheel and these are available landed in Australia with duties and taxes for around $1,900.

AUDI A6 ROTORS
Specs: 20 x 8.5, ET45, weight tbc
Tyres: 225/30/20
Other: H&R suspension





As the name suggests, these versions of the Audi 5 Arm Rotor as they're referred to, are off the A6. Finding a genuine set wouldn't be easy.

XTK BD021
Specs: 17 x 7.5, ET45, weight tbc





One alternative to straight reps of the Audi Rotors are from XTK Wheels by Alkatec from Italy: Alloy wheels – XTK dedicated alloy wheels although production appears to be in China. These are also available in 18 x 8 ET45 and the rest of the XTK range is inspired by OEM designs from European vehicles.

Theres a set of 19x8.5 et47 versions of those OEM Audi rims on eBay now $1700. Pretty good price considering the reps are going for $1500.

That's a good buy, particularly as 19s are more practical on the Golf - the 20s are fine for show but would be rough as guts on our roads. The offset is marginal but workable, particularly with a little lowering.
