The Official Mk7 Wheel Thread

[Dutch77]

Fitted my 18x8.5 et45 8.2kg bola flb’s with ps4 235/40 tyres

Hello stranger.. did you have a Mk7.5 last visit??

Either way looking good - the 235/40 gives a flat, and fat, sidewall.

Hi buddy yes it’s me again and thanks,I’ve got three R’s on this thread now( lapis blue mk7 hatch,mk7 wagon in white and now this post WLTP mk7.75��)this one came with Pretoria’s but with our roads in the Uk they don’t fare to well as they aren’t the strongest 19” rim borbet make for Vw,I picked up a cancelled order hence why the wagon came with them as I’d taken a strange path of driving a Tiguan for a year and regretting it,I’d initially been waiting 7 months for an arteon but then this came along similar spec apert from the black Pretoria’s it had.i was running rep Pretoria’s from Stuttgart which come with 8.5 width and et45 and looked epic but they were heavy and I prefer the way R’s feel on a light 18” setup..normally 225/40 but I’d thought I’d try 235 this time.��

Haha, well that's a story.. yeah, I knew there had been the swap from hatch to wagon, but was sure it had been Mk7.

I'd say who would own three Mk7x Golfs, but then I realised I will most likely be joining you shortly as I am shopping a weekend car currently.

There's no doubt the Arteon is a smart looking ride, but unless you're going to spend decent bucks turning it into a proper ride the Golf is obviously the choice.

Any chance I can buy those Pretorias from you?

Haha - good call.

Unfortunately because VW Oz only fit the Pretorias to the parts bin special 'Wolfsburg' models when they do pop up for sale locally the sellers have extremely unreasonable expectations of sale price (maybe because this thread once stated that a special dealer order came in at $7k AUD for a set - now everyone thinks they have something akin to a forged BBS in their garage).
