GISA WHEELS 9135
Specs: 20 x 9, ET30, weight tbc







Gisa or GSW are another Brazilian special, and these particular wheels are using adapters due to a varying PCD, so are here more for a style guide, as they're lineball with Vossen CV3s.

Note: not a legal fitment in Australia

I don't know how in the world those wheels fit under the guards

Perhaps they're widened fenders along with rolled guards and fender screw mod (of the mk7 has it). I'm pretty surprised too haha

5 spokes seems to suit the Mk7 well.

Back looks stock to be honest, front I can't say if it has wide fender kit

I'm not very good at judging if fenders are widened if it's subtle so I trust you'll know it better. No idea how this fits other than wide fenders though. It's only just tucked in, but it is tucked somehow

My take.

Firstly, those wheel specs might not be spot on. I couldn't locate any 5 x 112 fitments, but was able to find some alternate PCDs in 20 inch size, the most 'favourable' of which was 20 x 9, ET30. The pics confirmed they were 20s and the wheel model, but did not discuss specs or other mods.

Secondly, while it would take a brave soul to start shaving the hub of a low cost wheel, it's always possible it was done to raise the offset somewhat.

Thirdly, obviously this car has been heavily lowered so has gained some tuck from camber, although the wheels don't look heavily cambered.

Finally, in flicking back and forth between stock cars and this one, in my opinion these fenders do seem to be wider than stock. The front could have a widening kit as per much earlier in this thread; the rears might just be rolled from stock.

They're my best guesses.

The good news is the Vossen CV3 comes in 19 x 8.5 ET45 and 20 x 8.5 ET44 which are both much more workable.
