Restoring your old rims can be very time consuming, especially if they don't look as good as they used to. An inexpensive, but also very good, solution is to install new rims. With a PCD of 4 x 130 and 5 x 205, you can choose between the standard width (4.5 inches) and a wider width (5.5 inches). The 5.5 inch rims fit easily into existing wheel wells or fenders. They fill the wheel well or fender better for a more robust appearance. Please note that you should choose the correct tire size based on the VW model for which the rim is intended, and also check the available space in your wheel wells based on the tire size.
The rims listed here have passed all accepted tests worldwide and are therefore considered to be of the highest quality. If you are looking for a more economical rim without certification, please see the "Other Models" and/or "Alternatives" tab.
TÜV: The TÜV approval is mandatory for mounting or integrating rims on a vehicle in certain countries (e.g. Germany, Luxembourg, Belgium, etc.)
ABE: This is the approval of a vehicle or part of a vehicle in Germany. A vehicle equipped with rims with an ABE approval can be used legally without having to go to a TÜV certification center.
DOT : A DOT approval certifies that the rim meets all safety requirements set by the US Department of Transportation. (DOT stands for Department Of Transportation)
The above approvals are only issued for the Volkswagen and Porsche models listed, fitting to a vehicle not listed will void the ABE certificate, this may also adversely affect TÜV and DOT certification.
All rims are delivered in a grey powder coated finish ready to mount, without bolts, valves and hubcaps, to be ordered extra. Please also read the "Technical Data" tab which explains the different rim measurements, center distance value, offset, etc.
Note: During production, it was assumed that the original VW hubcaps were fitted. Fitting imitation hubcaps may cause mounting problems. Any resulting damage is at your own risk.
