Technical specifications of the alloy rim

The presented rim is a solid, silver alloy wheel designed for the stock suspension and chassis of the Volkswagen Passat B6. The aluminum construction ensures an optimal strength-to-weight ratio, which translates into precise vehicle handling and stable performance during daily use.

The rim size has been selected to work with popular tire sizes used on this model, without interfering with suspension geometry. The properly selected offset, as well as the bolt pattern and number of mounting holes, allow for trouble-free installation on the hub, while maintaining the correct wheel fitment within the wheel arch.

Purpose and fitment for Volkswagen

The rim was developed specifically for the Volkswagen Passat B6 model, which means factory-grade compatibility with the chassis, braking system, and bodywork. As a result, compatibility with stock suspension components is maintained, as well as with the original bolts and mounting accessories intended for this model.

The silver finish of the rim blends well with both light and dark body colors, highlighting the car's side profile and giving it a consistent, factory look. This is a practical solution when replacing a single rim after mechanical damage or when gradually rebuilding a set of wheels.

Benefits of choosing an original used rim

Choosing a used OEM rim for the Passat B6 is a reasonable compromise between cost and quality. You receive a component designed by the vehicle manufacturer, maintaining the correct technical parameters, without the need to experiment with replacements of uncertain origin. This type of solution is particularly beneficial when you want to maintain the car's stock character and predictable road behavior.

The alloy rim in this size allows for the use of popular tires, which facilitates future tire selection and reduces operating costs. At the same time, the aluminum construction promotes efficient heat dissipation from the braking system, which is important during more intensive driving or frequent city driving.

Application in service and wheel refurbishment

This rim model works very well both as a replacement for a single damaged rim and as a base for completing a full set of summer or winter wheels. It can also be used in the process of professional refurbishment, including straightening, sandblasting, and repainting, to restore a consistent look to the entire set.
