Volkswagen R is introducing its most powerful Golf models yet: the new Golf R and Golf R Variant. These models are not only performance powerhouses but also visually stunning, featuring the new optional 19-inch Warmenau forged wheels.
Lightweight Innovation
The Warmenau wheels, developed in collaboration with Volkswagen Design, offer a perfect balance of stability, aesthetics, and lightweight construction. Weighing just eight kilograms per rim, these wheels are about 20% lighter than traditional alloy wheels, reducing unsprung mass and enhancing handling.

Design and Performance
The unique design features ten overlapping rectangles and a large 71% opening ratio, which significantly improves stability and wear resistance. This design also enhances brake cooling, reducing thermal stress, particularly on racetracks.
Volkswagen R Heritage
Named after Volkswagen R's headquarters in Warmenau, near Wolfsburg, the wheels are available in black or dark grey with a diamond-cut finish, and can be paired with 235/35 tires. The design pays homage to the original sporty Golf R32 models.
Launch Date
The new Golf R models, along with the Warmenau performance wheels, will make their world premiere on June 26.
