Light, strong and beautiful VWR light alloy wheels.

Nothing makes more of a difference to a car’s appearance than its wheels. And of course, a lighter-weight wheel makes a big contribution to the ride, handling and responses of any car through reducing the all-important unsprung weight. Yet nothing is more important than the safety and reliability of your car’s wheels.

This is the challenge of developing a wheel suitable for road and race.

Volkswagen Racing has spent many years seeking this perfect balance of weight, strength and appearance from their wheels and have wrecked a good number of test wheels during their development process on both race and track cars! But they now have what we consider to be the best 19” wheel for your Volkswagen – the VWR RacingLine 19″ Alloy Wheels.

Applications

The VWR wheel, which is the exact wheel we use on all of our race cars, is a stunning 12 spoke design finished in a unique satin graphite grey.  With an offset of ET45, and 8.5″ rim width, this wheel fits perfectly under the wheel arches of either Golf or Scirocco models (and shared-platform cars such as Audi A3/S3, Seat Leon, Octavia, and other Volkswagens such as Eos, Golf Plus etc).

The wheels are supplied with replacement, uprated wheel bolts and designed to retain the standard Volkswagen (or other-branded) centre caps.  There is an optional discreet ‘Volkswagen Racing’ script in dark silver around the wheel rim.

Most importantly, our testing has shown it to be an exceptionally strong wheel, as well-suited to the demands of the track as it is to the day to day use of road driving.

Sizes

The 19″ x 8.5″ wheel, with an offset of ET45 suits the narrower-bodied cars such as Golf, Jetta, Leon and Octavia.

We recommend a tyre size of 225/40 R18 for these wheels for standard-arched Golfs to maintain wheelarch clearance, or 235/40 R18 for Sciroccos and TTs which have greater clearance.

All sales on these wheels are final, no returns.
