The classic Avus "Snowflake" wheel, modernized and enlarged to suit the needs of the present day car community.
Produced using a Flow-Form manufacturing process, the results are a lighter and stronger wheel compared to traditional casting methods.
We have made multiple adjustments to our original and evolved design, using up-to-the-minute methods, resulting in the optimum balance of inner brake clearance and a deep look, while increasing the strength suitable for larger vehicles, lower profile tires and today's roads!
For the larger diameter Snowflake designs we wanted to modernize the aesthetic a little bit more, since some of the cars they’ll be used on (Golf Mk7/8) are themselves quite modern. These newer chassis also require higher offsets and that greatly affects how much lip or concavity an 8.5”-wide wheel can have.
Most of all, we wanted to offer a version we feel VW themselves could have (should have?) offered from the factory on a Mk8 Golf GTI… I think we’ve done exactly that!
As with the 15” version, these larger diameters will also be flow-form and light weight.
5x112 ET45 57.1 Center Bore is ideal for VW Mk5/6/7/8 chassis vehicles.
5x112 ET45 66.56 Center Bore is ideal for Audi B/6/7/8/9 chassis vehicles.
