Purpose and characteristics of the rim

The presented aluminum rim has been developed as a component compliant with Volkswagen's design requirements, which translates into a proper fit for the hub, braking system, and suspension. This ensures that the correct wheel geometry is maintained and the running gear operates under conditions close to factory specifications.

The aluminum material of the rim helps reduce unsprung mass, which can positively affect suspension response and driving comfort. The silver surface blends well with both standard and more extensive body styling packages, creating a cohesive, orderly look for the car.

Construction and design parameters

The rim is made of aluminum, which provides a favorable strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to typical operational loads on the road. The design features five mounting holes, a characteristic solution for many Volkswagen models, facilitating trouble-free installation on the hub.

The spacing and diameter of the mounting holes are adapted to the standards used by this brand, which allows for proper load distribution and even pressure of the rim against the hub. The applied offset helps maintain the correct wheel fitment within the wheel arch, which is important for both suspension performance and maintaining adequate clearance from braking system components.

Benefits of using an aluminum rim

Using an aluminum rim instead of a steel one can bring a number of practical benefits in daily use:

• more precise vehicle handling due to the favorable stiffness characteristics of the rim,
• potential improvement in suspension response resulting from the lower mass of the component,
• aesthetic, orderly body appearance thanks to the silver finish,
• easier to keep clean compared to many classic steel rims.

The rim from this series works well both as a replacement element after damage to an existing rim and when replacing a set of wheels to unify the vehicle's appearance.

Condition, fitment, and practical application

The offered rim comes from the group of used parts, which allows for an economical restoration of the running gear's efficiency while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications. This type of solution is particularly beneficial in the case of post-accident repairs or replacing a single damaged rim when maintaining a consistent look for all wheels is desired.

By maintaining parameters consistent with factory standards, the rim can be used as a replacement in areas where precise fitment to the hub, braking system, and wheel arch is required. This is a practical solution for users who value original components and predictable vehicle behavior on the road.
