The Official Mk7 Wheel Thread

[Dutch77]

What??? you're not happy with how this looks

Need some more pics from different angles before you go swapping rims

It's ok, Josh may not have contributed himself but I did the job for him a while back.

Agree it's a great set up, be interested to see where this ones going next.

How do you find the ride on the KWs with them wound down low, rub etc? Avdo, I expect a photoshoot of the Rays at this height!

Just realised I've never contributed to this thread. This is mine on 19x8.5 OZ Racing Ultraleggeras ET45 in satin black. Lowered on KW DDC. I've ordered new wheels but this is the set-up I am running now.

That's a seriously sick paint job also. Opticoat?

Haha thanks mate. I've ordered a set of custom made ADV1s. It will be about 4 months before I get them. So I'll be running these wheels for a while more.

Avdo's car will look fantastic with the coils and wheels. I too can't wait to see more pics!!

Cheers! Yup I used opticoat. Was really painstaking to apply though haha

Haha I love how the OZ's look and it's exactly what I wanted to achieve with a black car. But the wheels have been such a pain to keep clean, a notorious aspect of the Ultraleggeras and the spoke arrangement. , It could be the OCD in me talking though. I have an obscene amount of pics of my car. Lol Will post in the appropriate thread soon.

Dutch, that height is a bit low for my liking.It looks great and Josh has done an excellent job with the beast.

Only problem for me is that my wife sometimes drives the car and I really like my front bumper to be scratch free

That's what has pushed me away from going lower for now actually.

I've already cracked a piece of the front bar (underneath) getting down a driveway in an apartment block we were staying at a month ago - I actually had to edge down this thing almost parallel sideways to avoid scraping. I haven't studied the angles on the property we're in now to see how much room I've got to play with.

And while the roadworks guys up here are a world apart from the guys in Adelaide (stripping and sealing a road in a couple of nights rather than a couple of months), they have a habit of leaving 10cm drops in the road without signposting them.

Viersen license plate, I used to live there many haircuts ago.....in the 80's when nicking the VW badges from Golfs was all the rage (blame the Beastie Boys for that one)
