Optics and handling also get a mention
The A7 sportback SEVEN SINS appears to be in perfect shape but only in combination with the "STROKE" metal alloy wheel rims from MÖZ. POGEA RACING is the exclusive importer in Germany for this brand. The 9x20 inch model with its shiny black and chromed rims, again underlines the both stylish and sporty look of the Audi A7.

Along with the optical aspect, the wheels also fulfill functional tasks as they have a positive influence on handling. The forging technology used in production is responsible for this. This means that the multi-part STROKE is particularly light and robust - the unsprung mass is reduced, which is particularly noticeable above all when accelerating and braking. MÖZ STROKE is delivered outright with Continental Sport Contact 3 in the dimensions 265/30 20.

A further advantage in handling is achieved with the lowering of the vehicle's center of gravity.

The vehicle maintains directional stability around bends even at high speeds. The braking system from Brembo with perforated steel discs and special brake pads ensures maximum braking performance.
