Racingline Cup Edition ‘EVO’ 18″ x 8.5″ (ET35) Gunmetal Grey Alloy Wheel
The Racingline Cup Edition ‘EVO’ wheel is a track-focused alloy designed to handle the demands of fast road and circuit driving. This ET35 offset variant is the motorsport-spec option, finished in a deep Gunmetal Grey that suits the look of most modern VW Group performance cars. It’s a wheel built for purpose first, but one that still looks the part on the driveway.
Developed and proven on Racingline’s own race and development cars, the EVO has been refined to balance low weight with the strength needed for kerb strikes, hard cornering and high-load track use.
Why the ET35 Offset?
Offset (ET) is the distance between the wheel’s mounting face and its centreline. A lower ET pushes the wheel further outward from the hub. This ET35 version sits further out than the standard ET45 Cup Edition wheel, making it the right choice for vehicles running additional negative camber, wider arches, or motorsport suspension setups where extra arch clearance is needed.
This ET35 fitment is intended for motorsport use. For standard road cars, the ET45 version is usually the correct option. Always confirm fitment using our vehicle lookup tool or the Vehicle Fitment tab before ordering.
Lightweight Construction
Each wheel weighs just 9.7kg (21.3lbs). Reducing unsprung weight (the weight not supported by the suspension springs) helps the suspension respond faster over bumps, improves steering feel, and can sharpen acceleration and braking. The EVO achieves this without resorting to a fragile, ultra-light design that wouldn’t survive real-world use.
Built for the Track
- Knurled bead seats – small ridges on the inner rim that grip the tyre bead, preventing the tyre from slipping on the wheel under hard braking, launches or low-pressure track running.
- Drainage cutouts – prevent water and debris collecting inside the wheel, reducing long-term corrosion risk.
- ISO 7141 tested – validated for geometric accuracy, impact strength and structural fatigue, with a maximum load rating of 560kg per wheel.
- 18″ diameter – allows a taller, squarer tyre sidewall for better track grip and reduced rubbing under load.
Finish
The Gunmetal Grey finish is a durable, factory-quality coating designed to resist brake dust staining and the wear of regular cleaning. It’s a subtle, motorsport-inspired colour that works well against most paint finishes.
