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.
We offer two different specs for the 19x8.5 Snowflake:
5x112 ET45 57.1 Center Bore is ideal for VW Mk5/6/7/8 Golf/Jetta and B6/7/8 Passat chassis vehicles.
5x112 ET45 66.56 Center Bore is ideal for Audi B/6/7/8/9 chassis vehicles.
