Volkswagen and Mercedes between them account for more OEM style wheel searches in the UK than any other makes combined. There is a reason for that. Both manufacturers produce genuinely good-looking factory designs, and a well-made replica of either reads as expensive on the car without the main dealer price tag.
Here is what we carry at OMI Wheels, what fits what, and what to watch for before you buy.
VW OEM Style Alloys
The VW Group runs a 5x112 bolt pattern across the Golf, Polo, Passat, Tiguan, Touareg and most of the Skoda and SEAT range. That means one design can fit a huge number of cars, which is why VW fitment alloys are some of our most popular.
- 18x8 Volkswagen Style Alloy Wheels — Black Machined — one of our best sellers. Fits Golf Mk5 through Mk8, Passat, Tiguan and more.
- 18x8 Volkswagen Style Alloy Wheels — Gunmetal — the same design in a darker finish, suits silver and grey cars extremely well.
- 17x7.5 Volkswagen Style Alloy Wheels — Black Machined — the 17 inch option for anyone who wants to keep the tyre wall height for comfort or cost.
- VW Style 999 18x7.5 5x112 Alloy Wheels — a cleaner, more minimal design that works across the whole Golf range.
Mercedes OEM Style Alloys
Mercedes runs either 5x112 or 5x112 with a 66.6mm centre bore depending on the model. The C-Class, E-Class and GLC all share the same bolt pattern as the AMG GT, which opens up some very desirable designs to the everyday driver.
- 18x8 Mercedes Style Alloy Wheels — a clean multi-spoke design that works across the C and E-Class range.
- 22x9 Mercedes Style Alloy Wheels — for the larger SUV models. Fits the GLE, GLS and G-Class on the right offset.
- 22x9 Mercedes Style Alloy Wheels — Black Machined — same design with a machined face finish, more dramatic look.
- 22x10.5 Mercedes Style Alloy Wheels — Black Machined — wide body fitment for the AMG versions.
Fitment notes
VW Group offset typically runs ET45 to ET50 on hatchbacks and ET35 to ET40 on SUVs. Going wider on the offset for a flush fitment is popular but you need to check arch clearance, particularly with any suspension modifications. We publish every measurement on every listing and confirm fitment on WhatsApp before you order.
Mercedes centre bores are critical. The standard is 66.6mm and spigot rings are almost always needed with aftermarket wheels. We tell you which rings to order on every product page.
