Product Description
The RacingLine VWR R-06 was engineered for enthusiasts seeking a wheel that delivers measurable performance gains without compromising daily usability. Utilizing advanced flow-forming technology, the aluminum barrel is spun under heat and pressure to create a wheel that is lighter and stronger than many traditional cast wheel designs. This process helps improve durability while reducing weight for enhanced vehicle dynamics.
At just 21.3 lbs. per wheel, the VWR R-06 helps reduce unsprung and rotational mass, improving steering response, acceleration, braking feel, and overall chassis performance. The lightweight construction makes it equally suited for spirited street driving, canyon roads, and track use.
The 18x8.5 ET44 specification is an ideal fitment for many Volkswagen and Audi vehicles. Combined with the 57.1mm center bore and 5x112 bolt pattern, the R-06 delivers the precise OEM+ fitment Volkswagen and Audi owners expect.
Beyond performance, the R-06 features a clean 6-spoke design that complements modern Volkswagen and Audi styling while maintaining the functional engineering expected from a RacingLine wheel.
