Volkswagen wheels: the measurements for your generation, with their sources
The PCD (bolt pattern), the centre bore, the bolt thread and the original fitments change from one Volkswagen model to another, and from one generation to the next within the same model. We only show a measurement if a source gives it: a manufacturer document, an original parts catalogue, or two independent specialist sources that agree. The original measurements are published generation by generation, on each car's page, where each measurement cites its source.
How to choose a wheel for your Volkswagen
The size of your tyres is the first reliable piece of information: it is written on their sidewall (reading a tyre (page in French)). To compare two fitments, the tyre size equivalence tool checks that the rolling circumference stays close, and the wheel offset calculator compares the position of two wheels in the wheel arch: these tools compare, they do not recommend any offset. A guide explains what the diameter changes (page in French).
Why we record your car's measurements
An Onyx wheel is machined to the PCD and centre bore of the car it is made for: it centres on the hub with no ring or spacer. Enter your model, its model year and its version in the configurator: the Onyx Forged design office records the measurements, calculates the width and offset for your car and your brakes, and submits them to you before machining.
An Onyx forged wheel is 5-axis CNC machined from a block of forged 6061-T6 aluminium, instead of being cast in a mould, and designed to JWL/VIA standards. The forged, cast or flow formed page explains what this changes for weight and strength. Price and lead time each have their own page: custom forged wheel prices and lead time.
Frequently asked questions about Volkswagen wheels
Which wheel size for my Volkswagen?
The one for your model, your generation and your version. The size is shown on the sidewall of your tyres; the original fitments, version by version, are on your generation's page when it exists on the site.
Do forged wheels for a Volkswagen have an approval of their own, and do they pass the roadworthiness test?
No: made one set at a time, Onyx wheels have no individual approval of their own, and we say so before the order. They are designed to JWL/VIA standards. The French roadworthiness test (contrôle technique) examines the wheel without removing it (cracks, deformation, a wheel that sticks out beyond the bodywork) and checks that the tyre size is provided for by the manufacturer or accepted as equivalent; it neither validates nor rejects a modification, which is a matter for vehicle approval (réception) and the registration document. The details, country by country, are on the roadworthiness test and registration page.
And if my Volkswagen is not on the list?
An Onyx wheel is designed around the measurements of the car it goes on. Enter your model and its model year in the configurator: we record your car's measurements and submit them to you before machining.

Our Volkswagen wheels by model
PCD, centre bore, thread, diameters and original offsets: the Volkswagen cars we cover
One row per generation. Each value is taken from the car's page, which cites the source of each measurement, its fitments version by version and their original offsets (manufacturer). When a PCD has its own page, it leads there: that page lists every car that shares it.
| Car | PCD, centre bore, thread | Original diameters | Original offsets (manufacturer) | Onyx entry price, set of four wheels | Sources for these measurements |

Each generation's page gives the fitment of each version, with its sources.
“—”: measurement not published for lack of a sufficient source. The diameters and offsets are those of the original fitments, all versions together: the car's page gives the fitment of each version. These measurements help you recognise your car; they are not a recommendation, and Onyx does not advise any specific offset.
Onyx entry price: the set of four monoblock forged wheels in the smallest diameter of our price list that covers the smallest original diameter recorded; the other diameters and the two-piece construction are on each generation's page. Amounts in pounds: our checkout on 4 October 2026, before the carrier's clearance fee and any import duty. The amount shown at checkout is the one charged for your order.
Publication rule: a measurement is shown only if a primary source gives it (a manufacturer's document, an official vehicle type record, an original parts catalogue, the maker of the original wheel) without another primary source contradicting it, or if two independent specialist sources agree without a primary source contradicting them. The press and forums do not count. Measurements checked on 21 October 2026.
