The RacingLine Performance Cup Edition 'EVO' - 18" Alloy Wheel
THESE WHEELS ARE SOLD INDIVIDUALLY - ADD 4x TO CART IF YOU WANT A SET OF FOUR
The VWR ‘Cup Edition’ EVO 18" Alloy Wheel updates RacingLine’s classic ‘Cup Edition’ design with a lighter weight, a fresh new appearance and some lovely detailing. The result is an ultra-strong yet lightweight rim capable of repeatedly coping with the extreme demands that track driving brings.
It comes in the ideal track dimensions for MQB/MQBE cars of 8.5 x 18" diameter with an ET45 offset. The choice of 18" rim is ideal for track use, allowing a higher-profile, squarer tyre fitment without risk of excessive rubbing. Fitment covers all VWG models on MQB, MQB EVO and A5 platforms with 5x112 PCD.
Strength remains the design priority for the ‘Cup Edition’ EVO wheel. With a load rating of 560kg per wheel, these wheels have the strength to cope with repeated, harsh track use.
It's essential for the rim to have this sort of strength engineered-in from the conception of the design – to be capable of containing the 'spike loads' running through a wheel hitting circuit kerbing through a corner at speed without damage or deformation.
A lot of RacingLine’s development time was focussed on weight reduction, but without making any compromises in the strength needed to meet the demands of road or track.
Weight-saving aspects of the updated design include material removal in the front and back of each spoke, drainage cut-outs in the mounting face (which also ensures no water or debris gets trapped between wheel and hub face causing long term corrosion), and even a groove running around the outer rim to trim a few extra grams off.
The resulting weight of each wheel is just 9.7kg / 21.3lbs, whilst still retaining a load rating of 560kg.
Finally, the new ‘Cup Edition’ EVO wheels are finished in a choice of hard-wearing Satin Gunmetal Grey, Gloss Black, Matte Bronze or Motorsport White, all complete with RacingLine centre cap.
