The Official Mk7 Wheel Thread

[Dutch77]

Hi Dutch77, it's matt graphite.
Ride quality is still good.
Initial setup was max down on height and medium damping, sometimes i experienced rub. Then i increase 5-6mm and 2 clicks up for damping, now no rub issue.

Good to hear, the Mk7 does seem to be dealing with more aggressive wheel specs and lowering pretty well so far based on the feedback on this list. Feel free to post follow-up pics if you like as well, it's a good looking set up.

What wheels specs man? Any spacers?

Ari77 can confirm but he noted 19 x 8.5 ET44 on his original post.

That's the sizing Avdo had with his Rays and advised possibly some poke on the front and flush on the rear - perhaps Ari77 can confirm or advise otherwise with his coilovers.

Hopefully it's been worth the wait.. in that time I almost bought three different wheels, two suspension options and considered a few car alternatives.
