What did you get in the mail or bring home for your MKVII today?

Those are nice. Didn't realize they made hub centric wheels for us.

I am.....Superspeed?!

Kachow!

Had Superspeed RF03RR's on my GTI before and really liked them so went with Superspeed again. Went back and forth on 18s or 19s, but the I drive a lot and my current 19" wheels/tires ride harsh. Superspeed came out with a 18x9 +42 in 5x112 bolt pattern. I like the spec and these will get some 245/40/18 tires.

Those wheels kind of look like my Rays 57FXZ

I mean… yeah they are both spit 5 spokes I guess.

The Superspeed flowform are much more along the lines of these style split 5s (bbs fi-r and titan ts-5, but I’m sure there are still many others too)

The Superspeed rf05rr is basically the titan7 ts-5 but flow formed instead of forged and without the price tag. None of Superspeeds wheel designs are ground breaking, but really what is these days as evidenced above. The RF03RR looks just like Volk ze40 wheels. Titan7 wheels are made in China, wouldn't be surprised if these were made by the same parent manufacturer.

Superspeed definitely has there shipping process down, these came individually boxed with covers and plastic rim guards, then placed in another big box with one other boxed wheel (two per big box). Each individual wheel box also had additional foam before being placed in the larger box. All shipped free from Canada.

Got some forged steel lugs for when I get back onto the track. The racing line aluminum lugs did not make me comfortable.

To me they also look a lot like the 8y rs3 black optic plus wheel.

Hey would you mind measuring your nuts and seeing how big they are?

I've been thinking about buying those for a while but am thinking they might be too long, don't want them sticking out of the wheels. Total height is good.

 

[Diggs24]

Yes, measure your nuts please.

They're 41mm tall using my calipers.

Yes, measure your nuts please.

Seems a bit small, should I see a doctor?

I went with regular open nuts for that exact reason. I don't know why so many have to be so tall, but I'm sure there is a reason.

Jon how long are your studs and which ones are they? Are there spacers in that picture?

They're shorties.

No spacers though. When I had the Prets on with a 12mm spacer, I used these ones.

 

[Salami]

@Acadia18 I have never seen those shorties before. Where did you get them?

That link has both.

I can't think of a single reason why I didn't just buy one of these sooner with all of my retrofits and the joy in of accessing those purple locks.

VW doesn't like to sell the contacts by themselves anymore. So you have to overpay for repair wires. Which also means you have to know which repair wire you need.

And I love a good AliExpress retrofit harness but they often have the incorrect pin for the fuse box.



Inspector approved!
