Youre correct my friend, got them from a friend who had a 2000 Jetta. Painted them semi gloss and got some Kumho Ecsta 711's ..seems like a pretty good tire for the price right now depends on how they perform with a little wear tho.
Ive heard of that town in Kentucky but nope Im in TN
Im diggin the hood.....Nice car!!

nice looking ride man. i saw the pics and was like what happened to his wheels?! then got to the bottom and saw there for winter. phew, love the look with what you did to the stockers.
Very nice cleanly modded car! Personally I love it, even with winter wheels
.
Keep it up!
Looks good, but i think a drop would make a world of difference. Dont get me wrong though, i love the clean look.

Looks good, i like the clean look of ur car so much. get some nice 18 gunmetal w/ polished lip next spring and itll look lovely
and hmm how are you supposed to drive in snow with those kumho ? seem like the only thing you will do is get stuck everywhere!

It is lowered but only about 1.25" I have progress springs. I didnt want it slammed cuz of some of the roads and driveways around here. There is more fender gap with the 15's opn it now than with my 16's it doesnt look lowered much by looking at the fender gap but when you look at the overall car you can tell.
Sunstealth - I got the tires cuz of the price b/c its wheels for the winter. We dont have much snow around here and if we do I have a 4wd truck that I drive. I switched mainly cuz of the amount of salt they put down usually more salt than snow lol. With my ls wheels i didnt want the salt to get under the paint where the crome lip is and eat it away.

leads me to a new question.. are u using stock lugnuts or did u get some "ball" seat style lugs to work with the VW wheels
from what i understand all the newer VWs have the ball seat opposed to the cone seat. it could be a safety factor! just looking out for a brother!

hell man i didnt know that... i know EXACTALY where your from... i was born and raised in a town called Wise Va... we use to go to bristol all the time.... god i miss that place...
Yup Quick youre correct again, the v-dub wheels are ball seated heheh "ball" ne how lol.. The stock lugs that came with my LS wheels worked but where theyre cap type they stuck out a little too far so I purchased 4 sets from a malibu / buick / everything else that was ball seated and open on the end so they would not stick out past the wheel ..good stuff
If I had tried reagular steelie lug nuts they would have just dug into the wheel and never torqued.
Sweet arse SLO I know exactly where Wise is you wasnt too far from me at all.
how hard was it to get the bars out of the front bumper and is there any sag?
Im a level 32 joedm newb flamer.
Another example of the KISS approach working wonders on a modded car
so if i get myself some malibu/buick/everything else lugnuts i can rock my brothers VW GTi 337 BBS RCs!!!
best news ive heard in a while..
good to see u did it right! many people would have overlooked the lugnuts.

Nope not at all I used a utility knife with a new razor blade in it and used masking tape as a guide line and to keep and paint from wrinkling while i cut it, was pretty easy to cut just took my time and did it carefully I HATED that "mesh" or whatever GM calls it down there I thot it made the car look like it had braces lol
Yea Qwik they should work theyre usually gold colored they have ball shape ends and the other end is open chevy malibu's montes luminas any of those or buicks or even olds have them with certain alloy wheels just look around you shouldnt have any probs finding them
