Sweet. Those rpf1's?

 

[chris101]

^yes indeed they are!

only 17 pounds a wheel despite being an 18" wheel


The freakin center caps cost $25 EACH

Very Nice. I went to look at a 4 door diesel Golf the other day.

 

[chris101]

yes yes it looks funny because I haven't driven since jacking up to put on the wheels so I'll take more pics once I've driven around again to let the suspension re-settle but here for now:

MONSTER TRUCK

Probably my favorite wheels.

Are stocks 17 or 18 for the tdi?

 

[StrobinSS]

I like it, definitely gonna look better when the suspension settles.

The truck is our Duramax 3500 for towing the race cars around

And stock is 17" on the TDI FWIW. (so yes I upgraded to 18s after downgrading to 15s for winter.. lol) My cushy ride of winter is GONE.. doh!

those look hot, but did you go shorter on the tires or something? I understand the suspension needs to settle, but thats a big gap in the back

 

[chris101]

There is no weight in back so it really does take driving around to get it to settle again (which I still have not done yet)

The ride height is identical between the 15s and 18s (hold the 15 whee/tire combo next to the 18 and they were identical heights)... just the 15s have a ton more sidewall cushion obviously..

 

[chris101]

here, drove around the block and already starting to settle more

Perfect looking car IMO.

Looks great! Although I'm biased to white Golf hatchbacks myself...

 

[chris101]

I was talking about the golf

Stock Golf (bottom of the line) comes with 15" steel wheels with wheel covers.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Wat

 

[chris101]

^ at least the stock bottom line golf still have 4wheel disc brakes!

The newest Jetta comes with rear drum brakes for bottom line model!!!!

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Mexico quality.

 

[chris101]

haha, my Golf TDI is MADE IN GERMANY and not Mexico
