19” Reifnitz in grey






Crap pics and filthy car taken back in April

Maybe that’s a bit clearer, I’m not one for taking many car photos

Very nice Exonian....and nothing wrong with your photography at all.

Whatever style I go for I think grey is the colour for me and your pics have helped make my mind up.

I'd welcome your thoughts on these everyone.  Especially the fit as they are ET42 (rather than the ET45 I was thinking) but I'd still go for 18" and 8J.

Based upon Richmonds being 7.5 and ET51 and those being 8 ET 42

Comparing the above vs the CM Wheels 18" pretoria which is a 8 ET45

Thanks Carbon. 

The inner rim is more or less in the same place and the outer rim 1.5cm further out than the Richmonds sounds OK doesn't it?

I'd assume so, considering that some folks are going for 19" and 8.5J.

8x18 ET42 will fit fine.
Personally I wouldn’t fancy 8.5” wide on the mk8 as the arches don’t look as accommodating as on the mk7. I might be wrong but…

My car is due for delivery in a couple of days and then it's make your mind up time for me.  Thanks again Exonian. 🙂

Was slightly concerned, but as you saw in my photos, there’s plenty of room, certainly at std ride height. The ride is harder over the richmonds, but only really noticeable on bad roads
