Purpose and fitment for VW Passat B6

The presented wheel rim has been designed specifically for the Volkswagen Passat B6 model, which ensures correct hub seating, proper steering geometry, and the preservation of factory handling characteristics. Thanks to the use of the correct offset and bolt pattern, the wheel works with the stock suspension, steering, and braking systems without the need for spacers or wheel arch modifications.

Aluminium construction and performance parameters

The rim is made of aluminium, which provides a favorable strength-to-weight ratio and promotes stable vehicle handling. The aluminium construction improves steering response compared to heavier steel solutions, while also allowing for effective heat dissipation from the braking system. The silver surface of the rim blends well with both light and dark body paints, emphasizing the side profile of the Passat B6 and giving it a consistent, factory-original character.

Mounting parameters and compatibility

The wheel features a five-point mounting and a precisely matched hole diameter, ensuring stable seating on the hub and even load distribution while driving. The applied diameter and width of the rim allow for the installation of popular tire sizes used on the Passat B6, maintaining the correct tire profile and ride comfort. The properly selected offset promotes correct wheel arch filling, without excessive wheel protrusion or the risk of rubbing against suspension components.

Condition, application, and benefits of choosing a used wheel

The wheel is a used component, which allows for a significant reduction in the cost of repair or replacement of a single rim after mechanical damage, while maintaining the original appearance and technical parameters. This is a practical solution in situations where one of the wheels in a set has been damaged, and the owner wants to avoid purchasing an entire new set. A used alloy wheel of this type will work well both as a replacement for daily use and as a spare for a seasonal set of wheels.
