Racingline Cup Edition ‘EVO’ 18″ x 8.5″ (ET45) Motorsport White Alloy Wheel
The Racingline Cup Edition ‘EVO’ alloy wheel is built for drivers who want a serious track-ready wheel that still looks the part on the road. Developed and tested on Racingline’s own race cars, this 18″ x 8.5″ wheel in striking Motorsport White blends low weight, high strength, and a clean motorsport-inspired design.
As an authorised Racingline retailer, we supply these wheels exactly as the manufacturer intends, with full specification and quality assurance.
Why Choose the Cup Edition ‘EVO’?
This wheel has been designed around the needs of fast road and track use on modern Volkswagen Group platforms. The 18″ diameter gives you room to run a taller, squarer tyre sidewall, which is ideal for track work as it reduces the chance of the tyre rolling onto the wheel lip under hard cornering. The 8.5″ width offers plenty of tyre footprint without going so wide that arch clearance becomes a constant headache.
At just 9.7kg (21.3lbs) per wheel, the EVO sits in the sweet spot between lightness and durability. Lower unsprung weight (the weight not supported by the suspension) helps the car respond faster to steering inputs, improves ride quality, and reduces strain on the brakes and suspension.
Engineering and Build Quality
- Tested to ISO 7141 standards for impact strength, geometric accuracy, and structural fatigue resistance
- Maximum wheel load rating of 560kg
- Knurled bead seats – small ridges on the inner rim that grip the tyre and stop it slipping or rotating under heavy load (important when running lower tyre pressures on track)
- Drainage cutouts to prevent water and debris being trapped, reducing the risk of long-term corrosion
- Optimised ET45 offset for a flush, factory-correct stance on most applications
The Motorsport White Finish
Motorsport White is a proper race-inspired colour with a durable, high-quality finish. It pairs particularly well with darker body colours and gives the car a clean, purposeful look that nods to classic touring car and rally liveries.
Fitment
The ET45 offset suits a wide range of VW Group models built on the MQB, MQB EVO, and A5 platforms with a 5×112 PCD. This covers many popular Volkswagen, Audi, SEAT (Cupra) and Skoda performance models such as the Golf GTI, Golf R, Audi S3, Cupra Leon, and Octavia vRS, among others.
Please use the vehicle lookup tool on the Racingline Shop or check the Vehicle Fitment tab to confirm the wheel is correct for your specific vehicle before ordering.
If you’re building a dedicated track car with extra camber and need more clearance, Racingline also offers an ET35 version in Gunmetal Grey for motorsport use.
