Love the style of these rims. They’re heavy duty and durable. They look great on my vehicle. They seem to grip the road well during light and heavy snow. Shows no sign of rust or damage after the 1st season of a Northeast winter. Just had them put on for this season. I’m hoping for the same results.
Love the design and the matte finish. Looks great on my car and as far as I can tell, tires fit well. Great construction. I didn't realize the design sticks out from the frame of the car which is fine but it will definitely scratch on a curb if you get too close. Luckily I know my car and haven't bit any curbs but just good to note.
Good value for winter wheels -- used these for 5 winters in New England. some of the machined/shiny areas show wear and mild erosion. These wheels are also rather heavy. Tire rack did a great job reaching out to me to verify that they would fit over the brakes.
After waiting 4 months and for our rims to come in, we were sure glad that we waited for them. We are very pleased with the product, easy to take care of and they look great on our vehicle we think. Once they received them we got them in like 3 days. Very happy with the product and tire rack, thank you we surely appreciate it.
Great.
I was disappointed with the OEM wheels on my Toyota. I bought a "Limited" that had an upgrade to 20 inch wheels but the wheel quality was just above worthless. The exterior finish of the wheels was chromed plastic which does not hold up to any curbs and has nor way of blending or repairing. Toyota offered to replace my 2 damaged wheels for $851.00 a piece. I decided to wait and replace all for tires and wheels at the same time with a quality solid wheel. These wheels look great on my vehicle, much better than the OEM, and have a great finish and quality look.
These are great wheels. Perfect fit. I down-sized the wheel 1" to give better options for taller sidewalls on the tires. The Audi came with 21" wheels, and the factory 35 series tires were unnecessarily rough. The 20" wheels fit and allowed me to use 45 series tires which made a negligible difference in cornering, but much more pleasant ride. Also, because these wheels are a little narrower than stock, the tires bulge a bit past the wheel lip, helping prevent curb rash. They look much better than the S-Line wheels from Audi (in my opinion).
I have used Tire Rack on multiple occasions over the years and have always had a great experience. Their shipping is always fast and it's so easy to navigate their website. I love the fact you can see every wheel in detail and get an idea of what it looks like on your own vehicle. I have had only one bad experience (with wheels that did not hold up) but technically, this was not the fault of Tire Rack, just not a quality wheel which I believe that do not handle any longer. Trust Tire Rack once you decide on a wheel or tire you want.
After 6 years, 72k miles my OEM wheels were leaking around the valve stem due to corrosion. At a level of 3-5 psi/week on each tire. It was always annoying pulling out the inflator, over filling my tires once a week.
I reviewed all the wheels on Tire Rack and picked these and love them now that they are on. A couple of concerns I had prior to install:
1) Would my OEM brake caliper make the wheel look bad as it will be visible unlike before? (I don't even notice the caliper)
2) How do I know which offset is correct for me, I'm given two options? (The standard 45mm was correct)
3) How does using a local shop through Tire Rack work? (Actually poorly. I chose a Pep Boys in the area with their first appointment of the day a week after my order. I walked in at the time I received an email for the appointment and they said "We are slammed today and with places like Tire Rack we only receive the information on your appointment the day before. It could take up to four hours to do the install." I felt bad for the team at Pep Boys because they did nothing wrong, just the communication between TR and them isn't ideal. The price they charged to change wheels and keep tires was completely reasonable, they did the work in ~1.5 hours. I would recommend calling the shop you coordinate with to ensure everything is streamlined prior to your appointment.)
The shipping process was easy and worked well, information tracking was great. I would absolutely buy my next set of tires/wheels through Tire Rack.
Overall I'm happy with them and my wife even says they look good. A nice refresh on appearance for a 6 year old car that I would like to have for another 50k miles.
I had pondered this purchase for over a year. Needed new tires and the (used to be nice) OEM wheels were degrading to the point that the bead seal on one of the tires required 2x/week re-inflation.
The visualizer really helped with my choice.
Very happy with the "look". We will see about the appearance durability.
Flawless delivery to the approved installer and the price for installation was exactly what they said it would be.
These seem to be the only rims Tire Rack can find for a reasonable price for me to fit a Macan GTS (clearance issues with the big brake calipers).
First off, they are for winter driving, so I do not have "performance" impressions to speak of.
However, I believe that the quality is a little easier to tell when wheels are abused in winter driving conditions. These held up well after two (so far) New England winters. Salt, snow, pot holes. You name it. They are pretty heavy but are priced reasonably and seem to have held up very well through abuse. I do not like the looks but will buy again because the quality to price ratio and size availability, especially for winter abuse, make these wheels a great buy.
These looked great, but.....I had to return them to Tire Rack. Three out of 4 were drilled off center which caused a horrible vibration. Kudos to TR South Bend for the outstanding customer service though. I went with some Enkei's , much better but there is still a faint vibration from one wheel, minimized by rotating it to the back.. The factory wheels roll silky smooth @ 80mph, so I know it's a wheel issue still. No more budget wheels for me. OZ's or BBS from here on out. Tired of chasing vibrations. Thank heavens I live near the South Bend shop.
1st set of this rim was flat black for winter tire use. Love the look & performance. Liked it so much the following spring I purchased the chrome accent black model. They are a great preforming affordable rims! Purchased mine w/ mounted tires. Tire Rack is the best! Mine needed & included spacer rings & lugs which all parts arrived undamaged and ready to install. The only slight negative is for cleaning. The looks of this rim outweigh that and I highly recommend this as a VW Golf option.
The finish began oxidizing after first winter. Wheels looked so bad I had to plasti dip them. I can't afford to replace. I wish there was a quality wheel that can with stand the elements of nature for more than two years. I would check to have the warranty replace them but having repainted em I'm sure it voided them.
