The Official Mk7 Wheel Thread

HARTMANN EUROMESH 3-GS
Specs: 19 x 8.5, ET47, weight tbc
Tyres: 235/35/R19
Other: Coilovers









Commentary from VWVortex user John@Roc-Euro: 15mm spacers out back and an extra bit of camber to not rub (hard bumps, still do a touch, would think 12mm spacers = ideal) and none up front, but I'm going to change that. I'd wager, for those inclined, that 19x8.5 ET35 would fit flawlessly. Time to utilize other fitments.

Keep in mind there is a fair bit of suspension work going on here and the USA guys generally are far more aggressive in their fitments - the above shouldn't be taken as legal here (and certainly with spacers it won't be).

Also worth noting these wheels are a variation of the Euromesh 4-GS previously shown in this thread.

Was going to say the same. The owner also has a very nicely modded scirocco too

Hahaha yeah! I thought, wait a minute... Isn't that Josh's R?

no dramas, I'll rephrase and advise the pictures are sourced from the UK R Forum, but are of an Australian vehicle.

Guys, I'm looking at the damn car and wheels, not the ute's rego up the road.

BBS XA
Specs: 19 x 8.5, ET46, weight tbc







In isolation these wheels aren't one of my favourite BBS designs - they look a little Falcodore - but fitted they look pretty decent actually. From some angles almost a touch of OEM. Which is interesting as they do have some resemblance to an Audi design and a number of cars that pop up upon searching the XA are A3/S3s.

That's because the shiny parts of the Santiago's are similar to this I think! They definitely look much better on a car than on the BBS website

I considered these for my R when I was originally after the black/polished OEM look as they were an attractive price in the uk also but the weight on the USA bbs site comes in at 27.3lbs which put me off a little.
