The Mk7 OEM wheels thread

[OldVWFan]

A winter wash and wax (it got above freezing!) with the stock Austin's back on until the spring. I just wish DAP hadn't run out of the spacers on their black Friday sale; I'll be waiting 60-90 days to fix that offset...

Why not go to ECS Tuning for the wheel spacers? They have black ones in probably the same width.

The ones I ordered are black with black bolts and the black Friday price was really good. They were listed as "in stock" when I placed the order, but I got an email after saying they oversold their stock. Plus I don't trust ECS.

Why don't you trust ECS Tuning, have they done something wrong in the past? I have been ordering from them for a long time and have only had problems with some of their exact fit ss brake lines fitting. I have not had any other parts fail to work as designed. I am running their black 15 mm spacers all round with their black locking bolts and all fit perfectly.

Wrong parts delivered, no reliable delivery dates, slow customer service, and their spacer kit was literally double the price of DAP. Do some searching, there's lots of bad experiences ordering from them. I will buy from them, but only if they have a way better price and I'm not in a hurry.

Too bad as I have had that. Have you tried Moddedeuros?

To each his own, but the ECS flush kit is perfect and very reasonably priced

Picked up a set of alzor 040
18x8 et35
225/40 18
Stock suspension

No rubbing issues what so ever. Very confident in lowering it and rolling fenders. The fitment doesn't poke outside the fender. Hit massive potholes ( New York roads ) and lot of interstate driving , and the quality is very good. No dents or issues with balancing .
