Bronze Racingline R360 Wheels
« on: 30 November 2024, 19:35 »
Hi, has anyone got the R360 rims in the matte bronze? I’m thinking about changing my Adelaide’s for a set of these, but struggling to find any images of the bronze on a mk8 golf, ideally on a moonstone grey car. Really trying to work out what colour would be best on the moonstone. Thanks!

Really would Like to see the bronze though. Got a feeling they might look smart against the grey.

Ooh they look rather good, I wonder what the grey wheel against a grey car is like though. I love the look of the Adelaide’s , but the diamond cut / finish is making me nervous.

My adelaides are a mess after three and a half years. Not curb damage either, just lacquer lift. Vw refused warranty claim.

Going to get them powder coated I think.

It’s rubbish isn’t it, every time I wash mine I’m starting to see small lifts or flakes which I touch in the clear lacquer, but I won’t spot everything and I think eventually it’ll go bad and get underneath. My view is change to lighter rims which are a bit different, I like the R360s because they are almost OEM and lighter too.

That looks very 😎 Silver in that style works, I think the lowering also helps.

Mines factory height, so I’d like to see some R360s not lowered on a moonstone car. Hard to find images of this!!

The wheels in that picture are 4x Audi R8 V10 fronts, so 20 inch, with that drop I’d be surprised if they didn’t rub.
