Volkswagen summer wheels collection

Posted 7th April, 2012 in Volkswagen | Leave a comment

Volkswagen has released a new range of alloys for summer 2012, offering complete wheel and tyre packages for several of its models.

Options begin with the ‘Upsilon’ for the company’s new up! model, which are in a seven-double-spoke style and wrapped in 185/50 R16 ContiPremiumContact 2s. These are followed by the 18-inch ‘Preston’ wheels multi-spoke wheels, which have been designed for the Jetta and Golf. Finished in the same black/silver scheme as the ‘Upsilon’, they are fitted with 225/40 R18 Pirelli P7 Cinturatos.

The final two Brilliant Silver designs are suitable for the Eos and Passat models: the 17-inch ‘Newport’ wheels with alternating inwardly curved spokes, wrapped in Pirelli P7 Cinturato 235/45 R17 tyres and larger 18-inch ‘Milagro’ alloys. The five-double-spoke layout makes these our personal favourite, and we’re also fans of the high-performance Dunlop SP SportMaxx RT tyres, which are sized 235/40 R18.
