Wheel construction characteristics

The wheel is made of aluminum, which helps reduce unsprung mass and improves suspension response to road irregularities. The rim profile is optimized for stiffness, which translates into confident handling at higher speeds and during dynamic maneuvers. The black color gives the wheel a distinctive, technical look that complements both light and dark body paints.

The wheel size has been selected to allow for the installation of tires with a sporty profile, ensuring precise steering response. The mounting holes and geometric parameters are consistent with the standards used in Volkswagen models, which facilitates hub fitment and minimizes the risk of vibrations.

Mounting parameters and compatibility

The wheel features five mounting holes and a properly selected bolt pattern diameter, allowing for stable seating on the hub and even load distribution. The applied offset promotes the maintenance of proper suspension geometry, ensuring the wheel does not extend excessively beyond the wheel arch and does not interfere with the operation of suspension or steering components.

The rim width allows for the installation of tires of varying widths, providing the opportunity to tailor the tires to your driving style – from more comfortable to performance-oriented handling. The wheel diameter allows for the use of larger brake discs, which is important for vehicles with higher power or those used intensively.

Application in daily use

The aluminum construction of the wheel supports effective cooling of the braking system, which is significant during frequent braking in city traffic and highway driving. The black surface is visually practical – it better masks typical operational dirt while highlighting the body lines and giving the vehicle a more dynamic character.

The product is suitable both as a replacement part after damage to an existing wheel and for upgrading the car's appearance. The used condition of the wheel allows for an economical refresh of the car's styling while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications.

Professional approach to purchasing used wheels

When choosing a used aluminum wheel, it is worth paying attention to the compatibility of mounting parameters with your vehicle and the general condition of the rim. A well-chosen wheel affects ride comfort, handling stability, and safety, which is why it is recommended to compare technical data with the car's documentation or consult a mechanic.
