The Official Mk7 Wheel Thread

[Redwards67]

There's a handful that flog in bulk online, mostly Eastern states but I note at least one has drifted west at least to Adelaide. They specialise in crappy ill-fitting made in China specials on rubbish rubber to suck in the buy now, pay later crowd. A lot of their sets retail for not much more than the price of one decent rim from somewhere reputable.

I knew a bloke who bought under a guaranteed fitment policy - it poked an inch outside the bodywork and the policy was ignored.

I'd just say be very wary and accept the old maxim, you get what you pay for.

Ok, cheers

Seeing a handful of used Spielberg wheels for sale on gumtree/FB. Any thoughts of how these would look on a white 7.5 GTI?

Like a slightly better looking, more aggressive, white R?

I can't recall seeing them fitted specifically to a white GTI, but definitely other colors in this thread. You may hit a white car if you add 'Englishtown' to your search as this is their name in the USA as well.

IMO they'd be a fine OEM+ look upgrade, and if you got bored they'd come up ok with a black coat as well.

There is a fresh Mk7 wheel query thread right now - people have chucked a few decent brands at varying prices to keep an eye out for in there.

I was thinking of updating the rims on my 7R. Decided to buy a new 7.5R instead
Might still change the rims on that at some point though

I’ve only seen a couple of photos and many of them have bodykits and other mods so it’s hard to tell

I’ll probably keep an eye out for Brescias or save my money for other mods

LOL - yep, I'm averaging a car a year lately but under strict orders not to continue this pattern.

The ED40 aka Reinhard recently celebrated a year with me, so one hurdle achieved.

Keep us posted on your potential wheel adventures..

Yep, bodykit will skew any view.

Got a set of mint Brescias but unfortunately decided to retain for future sale with car.

Here we go, I had a few mins spare - this will only give a rough idea given my rudimentary skills and tools:
