Hi. Choosing engine modification components is relatively straight forward. Choosing new wheels is not! I seem to have spent weeks looking at new wheels for my R, The real stumbling block is offset. I understand what it is, but would love to see comparison images of how they actually look on a vehicle (no spacers, just the wheel). With this in mind, could we start a thread where you post an image of your Mk7/7.5 R and comment the offset you have? If we can gather a few sample images in one place, this would be really informative and help people make the correct choice on which offset they would like to go for. Might be worth making it a sticky on the forum pages. Thanks in advance, Ben

Well… This is certainly going to cause heated debates but i feel it needs to be shown as there aren’t really any direct comparisons and like for like tests etc.. I ran my Manual 7 R standard for around 1000miles before getting a DTUK box. I ran the box for a further 4500 miles and was pretty much faultless (bar one occasion where it didn’t like some crap petrol i had to put in before i ran out!) I now have a remap by Unicorn Motor Developments in Manchester. Before i post the dyno results there are some things id like to say. The DTUK box is great for what it is. Its a way of squeezing out more power from your car whilst protecting your warranty should any problems arise. Its very easy to fit and is a great middle ground. It improves on the standard car a fair amount. Although not in my opinion as much as some people have stated. The car was run in FWD with the plug pulled. All runs were with a Revo intake fitted. Standard Results: 293bhp + 275ft/lbs DTUK Tuning Box on Original Software V1 on Setting 3+3 321bhp + 301ft/lbs (gains of 28bhp & 26ft/lbs) Enicorn Remap 358bhp + 404ft/lbs (gains of 65bhp & 129ft/lbs!) The tune is also much safer as you can see on the AFR graph.. The car is awesome now. The torque is immense in any gear and the first two gears are now MUCH improved (as well as everything else) Thanks.
