Why choose
'Cup Edition' EVO?

The VWR ‘Cup Edition’ EVO 18" Alloy Wheel has been a favourite for a decade for race and track cars to deliver an ultra-strong yet lightweight rim capable of repeatedly coping with the extreme demands that track driving brings.

Developed direct from our racing programme, this exact family of VWR 'Cup Edition' EVO Alloy Wheels is based on the rims used in the Volkswagen Racing Cup and the British Touring Car Championship. 

Now, our Cup Edition EVO wheel updates this classic design with lighter weight, a fresh new appearance and stunning detailing.

The perfect track dimensions for MQB/MQBE of 8.5 x 18" diameter with an ET45 offset.

Finished in a choice of stunning hard-wearing Satin Gunmetal Grey, Gloss Black, Matte Bronze or Motorsport White, all complete with RacingLine centre cap.

Produced to the highest standards, developed and manufactured to exceed OEM standards.

Strength matters.

With a load rating of 560kg per wheel, these Cup Edition EVO wheels have the strength to cope with repeated, harsher track use.  It's essential for the rim to have this sort of strength engineered-in from the start. Just imagine the 'spike loads' running through a wheel hitting circuit kerbing (such as sausage kerbs) through a corner at speed.

Obsessive 
weight saving.

We've put a lot of development time into weight reduction, but without compromising strength. Incorporating cut-outs in the mounting face, material removal in the front and back of each spoke, even a groove running around the outer rim to save a few more grams.

The result? 9.7kg / 21.3lbs per wheel, yet still retaining a load rating of 560kg.
