Attention all Golf R owners local to the Bay Area!

We originally had a Golf R photoshoot lined up to test the new 17x8.5" ET43 Bronze samples, as well as the 17x9" ET42 Anthracite samples. However, some things fell through and we are now in search of another car to help with photoshoots and fitment testing. We need to get these shots done ASAP before the launch and there is also an incentive for anyone willing to help out with photoshoots/fitment testing. If you are interested in helping us out, please send us a PM!

Thanks all!

You mean the Massachusetts Bay area, right?

We are aiming to launch the Group Buy on March 23rd. Stay tuned for more info as we get closer to that date!

Is it March 23rd yet?

Hi, I'm In Oakland and have a 2019 Golf R. Are you still looking for test subjects?

Geirsen, would you be so kind as to confirm that the wheels will be machined to accept the conical OEM lug bolts (or not)?
Thanks.

OEM lug bolts are radius/ball seats.

Thanks for the responses. I apologize for my bad description on the OEM seats- the radial seat was what I meant. And the Post #2 was my starting point for my inquery, particularly with the wheel style/design change as this group buy evolved and who knows what other changes might have been made during the design & manufacturing process. I've already got both OEM & conical aftermarket lug bolts & am planing to go to studs & lug nuts because of my frequent wheel/tire changes for autocrossing. Prefer to minimize the accumulation of hardware as much as possible...

These wheels are designed to work with the OEM factory R13 ball seat hardware.

Just a few photos from today’s shoot. Both colors are great, but that bronze finish looks great on LSG.

 

[GolfR'n&Jeep'n]

Yep Anthracite 17x8.5 with a 235/40 or a 245/40 is happening, I gotta get a smaller radius than the 235/35 19's to stop the bump rubbing

Same size wheels and tires in all shots? Can't see on the anthracite pics.

I'd assume those are the same wheels as earlier shots, so the bronze are 17x8.5 and the black are 17x9.0 and the anthracite are 18x9 (or possibly 8.5.)

 

[DaRock1459]

Both wheels were 17". Can't comment on the width for either wheel. The anthracite wheel did have the 255 tires mounted, while the bronze had the Michelin AS4's in 235 width.

 

[mopar22]

So 9” and 8.5” for anyone wondering

Black: 18x8.5. 235/40/18
Anthracite: 17x9. 255/40/17
Bronze: 17x8.5. 235/45/17
