Hi Everyone. Just wondering if anyone had the gmp italia atom wheels fitted to there 7. I'm wanting them on my 7r but can't find a photo anywhere. Thanks.

Again not the same wheel, but a relatively close match (MSW 26, by OZ):

OZ Omnias in black:

anyone in here know of someone with some 18 inch Salvadors they want to move on? and do the offsets work on a 90TSI that you know of?

I just picked one up as a daily driver and the standard wheels are shocking but the Salvadors look decent for a genuine wheel

There will be no problem with the fit - the issue will be in finding a set. I'd expect the buyer of an R-Line would tend to keep the look OEM, as opposed to the GTI/R buyers who are generally more open to upgrading.

For the cost of an import of brand new genuine wheels (unless you can locate a cheaper set online) you could also be fitting a set of genuine branded rims, although it depends on what look you're aiming for.

Even VW USA went after market for their show cars last year.. a couple more angles on the two Mk7s in the fleet:

A set of OZ Anniversary 45s (to celebrate, not surprisingly, the 45th anniversary of OZ last year):

its a daily so I don't want it standing out like dogs balls, hence I would like to stay with VW wheels. They were just a neat, clean looking wheel which is why I liked them

All I can od is keep my eyes open I guess. Brand new they are pretty expensive but I have found a few sets advertised for around $1500 which were sold. See hwo we go

Plenty of clean wheels out there that aren't lairy, but if you want it OEM then yes the best way will be via the second hand market as new price will be prohibitive generally.

Might be worth adding some WTB posts in the relevant sections here and the Golf forum.
