RacingLine’s ever-popular Cup Edition 8.5 x 18″ alloy wheel has been developed exclusively with Team Dynamics for our Volkswagen Racing Cup cars to give a track-orientated rim that’s both ultra-strong yet light.
WHY CHOOSE CUP EDITION?
The VWR ‘Cup Edition’ 18″ Alloy Wheel has been born from our partnership with Team Dynamics to deliver an ultra-strong 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 Alloy Wheels are the only rims used in the Volkswagen Racing Cup and the British Touring Car Championship.
The perfect track dimensions of 8.5 x 18″ diameter with an ET45 offset.
Finished in a stunning hard-wearing satin gunmetal grey, complete with RacingLine centre cap.
Produced to the highest standards, developed and manufactured in the EU to meet and exceed OEM standards.
STRENGTH MATTERS
The RacingLine Cup Edition wheels come from exactly the same Team Dynamics design family as the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) uses, sharing their load rating of 750kg per wheel.
To 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.
