The casting process creates a solid, one-piece wheel that's strong enough for daily driving and spirited use.

Clean 5-Spoke Design:

The CR5 features a clean, timeless 5-spoke design that complements any build. The simple spoke pattern provides a classic look that never goes out of style, making the CR5 perfect for enthusiasts who prefer understated elegance over flashy designs. The 5-spoke layout also provides good brake cooling and easy cleaning.

Gloss Black Finish:

The gloss black finish provides a classic, versatile appearance that works with any vehicle color. The deep, glossy finish is durable and easy to maintain, and it complements other black or dark-colored components. Gloss black is the most popular wheel finish for good reason - it looks good on everything.

18x8.5 +30 Versatile Fitment:

The 18x8.5 size with +30 offset is a versatile fitment that works on a wide range of vehicles. This spec provides a flush to slightly aggressive stance on most platforms without requiring extensive modifications. The 8.5" width accommodates tire sizes from 225-245mm, providing good grip while maintaining reasonable fitment.

5x114.3 Bolt Pattern:

The 5x114.3 (also known as 5x4.5") bolt pattern is one of the most common patterns for Japanese and European performance vehicles. This makes the CR5 compatible with a wide range of VW, Subaru, Nissan, Mazda, Toyota, and Honda applications.

Brake Clearance - GTI Brembo & AE86 TRD:

The CR5 in 18x8.5 +30 has been confirmed to clear VW GTI Brembo brakes (factory performance brakes on GTI models) and Toyota AE86 TRD Brembo brakes.
