The RacingLine Performance Cup Edition ‘EVO’ – 18″ Alloy Wheel Set – Gunmetal Grey
THIS LISTING IS FOR A SET OF FOUR ALLOY WHEELS
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 5×112 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.
