Rim construction and geometry

The alloy rim has been designed to maintain the appropriate suspension geometry parameters, which translates into predictable vehicle behavior while driving. The applied rim width and selected offset promote proper wheel positioning in the wheel arch, reducing the risk of rubbing against suspension or body components when using correctly matched tires.

The bolt pattern and diameter of the mounting holes are adapted to popular configurations used in VAG group cars, which makes it easier to fit the rim to the vehicle's hub. The number of mounting holes ensures even load distribution, which is important for both driving comfort and the durability of the entire chassis system.

Visual finish and color scheme

The two-tone finish – a combination of a silver surface with black accents – gives the rim a modern, expressive look that blends well with both light and dark body paints. This color configuration emphasizes the body line and visually refreshes the car's silhouette without the need to interfere with other styling elements.

The aluminum construction, combined with a properly selected paint, facilitates ongoing maintenance – brake pad dust and everyday dirt are easier to remove than in the case of raw steel surfaces. This is a practical solution for users who want to maintain an attractive wheel appearance with a reasonable amount of effort.

Performance parameters and application

Thanks to its diameter and width, the rim from this offer allows for the installation of popular low-profile tire sizes, which promotes precise handling and better steering response. The properly selected offset supports stability at higher speeds and during dynamic maneuvers, while maintaining correct suspension operation.

The mounting hole configuration allows the rim to be used in vehicles designed for a five-bolt wheel attachment. This solution is often chosen by drivers upgrading the car's appearance while ensuring compliance with factory design specifications.

Product condition and benefits of choosing a used rim

The rim is offered as a used item, which allows for a significant reduction in wheel upgrade costs compared to purchasing a new set, while maintaining functionality suitable for daily use. This is a sensible choice for drivers who want to improve the appearance and handling character of their car while keeping to a budget.
