The Official Mk7 Wheel Thread

[Dutch77]

hi

I've been reading almost the whole thread, yet, I am quite hesitant to buy and install some Audi S6 replicas, 18 x 8 ET 45, I think they could poke a bit inside the wheel arches, and according to Will They Fit, the wheels will poke more 2,5 cm to the outer part, compared to the 16 x 6,5 Dover originally fitted

so, my plan B is the Amarok "Durban" replica, curiously the name of those from Golf, but a different wheel, they're 18 x 7 ET 42 which will poke just 1,0 cm out
also their center bore is 57,1 fitting exactly, without center adapter rings

The 18 x 8 ET45 wheels should be perfectly fine on a Mk7 unless there is something different with your specs as I notice you are in Brazil.

I am running 18 x 8 ET48 right now and have plenty of room still - generally anything up to x 8.5 ET45 is considered ok on the Mk7 to sit on the wheel arch.

Still not a real fan of the Oettinger rear wing but the gloss black finishing around the car offset with the white does work in this instance.

I wonder if they've wrapped the rear valance to finish it in gloss or whether it's just the way the lights reflect. The mirror caps definitely need to be finished off in gloss black though IMO.

And more aggressive round pipes > oval.

We have featured the white car before and ascertained the above specs; the black car would appear to be running similar specs.

Yes they are only winter wheels but any excuse to get a wagon up. These are Team Dynamics Prorace 3 in 17 x 7, ET45:

Wow, the wagon really needs to rock 18s at the very least - they're looking tiny at the rear.

Oh, and a mudflap delete.
