It's to do with the style of the wheel.
They were a BBS special for the mk5 Golf and I had a set on my mk5 Golf. The ET44 offset looked perfect on the mk5 too. I put them on my mk6 when I first got it and they looked small on that so on the even bulkier mk7 they'd look lost in the arches. Trust me!
I'll try and dig some photos out but can't find them at the moment.

They'd make ideal winters.
Top quality and perfect fit wheels.

Here's a pic of the VZ 033's on my mk6


They looked a lot better on my mk5 but I can't find any shots!

And the difference a set of 19s made to the same car:

Another fitment question please.

I have Mk7.5 GTI Performance and looking at Sparco Corsa Pro wheels.
Intending to stick with 225/40x18 standard tyre fitment (insurance, leasing company blah blah).  The nearest fitment with the Sparco is 18x8" 5x112 and ET48.  Are these going to be good with no fouling issues?

Thanks

Good lord, there’s a resurrection.


Yes, those wheels will fit perfectly. No fouling.
