Bronze Racingline R360 Wheels

[Beebopper]

Personally given how Mk8 OEM's that look good are black, I'd choose the gun metal...

You've got me thinking about these wheels now.... I wonder if they have the right stock offset (I don't want them hanging out like a racing dog's b0ll0x) and whether they take the standard VW centre hubs?

Looks like they are ET44 watching the video from the Volkswizard chap, they look to fill the arch every so slightly more. I just like the fact they are designed for the EA888 platform and look almost OEM. I do love the Adeleides mind you, they look great but longevity isn't great.

Personally I think the bronze and Monnstone will look fab, and hide brake dust pretty well too. Black shows up brake dust badly, dark grey hides it well, silver is so so. I’ve owned a hell of a lot of different alloy wheels in my time but am old and boring now so would go for black as it looks really good on barronebirra’s car: https://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=290724.0

I get the Subaru blue and gold thing which will get car nerds twitching, but it’s ancient history now and the world keeps turning. I think bronze looks better on lighter coloured cars which seems contrary to everyone else. That possibly explains my bad dress sense… 😁

I still think this combo will work, bronze is now 70/30 in my mind! Just has to be the right shade of bronze to work, not too bright and also not too dark. I must have a dodgy dress sense also 

Volkswizard fitted the R360's to his Clubsport after the Vossens

That's great to see, gives a good perspective of the wheel on the MK8. I'll have to subscribe to his channel, it's very interesting stuff there

I fitted ET 44 18" Borbet rims to my moonstone Mk 8, the ET44 fills them perfectly. My wheels were also a titanium colour, I think it a good match.

R360 on my R were originally black but had them done in a colour similar to the blue chrome on the Pretoria’s
Didn’t like the Bronze in them and the grey is very dark in colour

That looks really nice, especially against the white. Is your factory height?

Yes standard springs in it

Ok great, looks really good - shame you can't get that colour from Racingline it works really well!

Found this on Youtube, I think it is the gunmetal grey colour - looks really good!

Just need to find a video like this with the bronze alloys, really helps visualise.

Hello Tony, yes thanks that was really useful! If you’ve got any more please send them along, I am still undecided

Hi Beeboper, will try and dug some out but if not all I can say is that they have been a safe purchase in as much as still looking good regardless of weather extremes. I did have then coated when fitted and advised to use nothing more than your car washing foam {I use Autoglyn products, have for years} and not any specific alloy wheel cleaner due to potential abrasive additives contained. If the Bronze had been available then would have been a tougher choice but still happy with mine. Hope your choice {eventually!} enhances the look of your Golf regardless.
