The Official Mk7 Wheel Thread

How does someone buy a set of wheels by "accident"?????

You'd be surprised.

Hmmm with you and wheels there is no accident. These would have been researched for many months

Oh but I must have walked away from my computer and junior dubber happened to put them in my shopping cart and hit "buy now". I only found out about it when they arrived on our doorstep.... honest!!!!

Tig1 ended up with some very nice 19x8 OZ Ultraleggera wheels after they were advertised in the parts for sale area and the original owner got fed up with low-ballers offered them to me at a price I couldn't refuse.

They were brand new rims still in the box.... though I had to source wheel bolts and hub rings to make them fit.

Not sure that'll ever happen again. Starting to look at wheels again... though Tig2 is currently sporting some nice 19x9 Audi 5 spoke hollow rims. Again these wouldn't fit a Mk7 due to width/offset - Tig2 is even running guard extensions to keep things legal.

Here's what they look like on a Mk5. Haven't seen any on a Mk7...

Is the Friction a winter tyre? If not then not the best idea for Sweden in Winter?

Wheels look good.

Here in Kungsbacka (south of Gothenburg) we have snow/ice 5-10 days /year, then we have rain, so non-spikes friction works perfectly! (Nokia WR A3)

Yes interesting these were ATS, not sure if it reflects a change in direction by Oettinger as traditionally their wheels were outsourced to Ronal.
