Purpose and technical specifications

The presented steel rim has been designed as a component compliant with the requirements of the Volkswagen vehicle manufacturer, which translates into a proper fit for the hub, braking system, and wheel arch. The steel construction promotes stability, and the appropriately selected geometric parameters of the rim support the correct operation of the suspension and steering system.

Thanks to the adherence to factory design specifications, the rim works well with standard tires, facilitating the maintenance of correct wheel geometry, even load distribution, and predictable vehicle handling in various road conditions.

Construction and material of the steel rim

The rim is made of durable steel, which ensures resistance to typical operational loads, such as road surface irregularities or changing weather conditions. Steel construction is a popular choice for daily driving, especially in cars used year-round, where resistance to mechanical damage is a priority.

The Black finish allows for aesthetic matching to both classic and more modern body styles, while also making it easier to keep the rim in a visually acceptable condition during intensive use. The arrangement of mounting holes and the center bore diameter have been selected to ensure proper wheel centering and stable load transfer to the hub.

Mounting parameters and compatibility

The rim features five mounting holes and an appropriately selected bolt pattern diameter, which enables correct seating on the hub and compatibility with factory wheel bolts. The applied offset (ET) has been chosen to maintain the correct position of the wheel relative to the wheel arch and suspension components, which is important for safety and driving comfort.

The rim diameter and width allow for the installation of tires in typical sizes used in compact Volkswagen models, providing a compromise between comfort, handling, and tire durability. By maintaining factory mounting specifications, the rim works well both as an element of a primary wheel set and as a seasonal set.

Practical application and user benefits

This type of steel rim is particularly useful as a solution for daily operation, including winter sets, where resistance to road salt and mechanical damage is essential. The used construction allows for an economical refresh of the wheel set without sacrificing performance parameters close to factory standards.

Key advantages include:

• compatibility with the running gear of Volkswagen vehicles,
• steel construction promoting durability in daily use,
• universal, dark finish facilitating visual matching,
• possibility of use as a working or seasonal set.

Used rims, refurbishment, and selection

When choosing a used rim, it is worth paying attention to the condition of the surface, any signs of previous repairs, and the compatibility of mounting parameters with a specific car model. In the case of steel rims, it is often possible to perform simple refreshing procedures, such as sandblasting or repainting, which improves aesthetics and facilitates further use.
