DISCLAIMER: This is a pretty basic “build” I’m a college student so it will be a slow build. I’m making this thread pretty much out of boredom and for my own use. I bought this car having no idea about the VW/AUDI "scene" and with no intentions of modding it.

Bought a set of Style 5’s. Planned on a redrill to deal with BMW’s offsets from hell. Never did. Didn’t feel like putting more money into wheels.

Decided to move away from the whole “scene point” look and traded for Euro TTRS Speedlines. Rare in the States. 18x8.5 et 44 (I believe) Ran 10mm spacers all around

Threw on some 20mm spacers in the rear. Pretty happy with how it looks. Need to adjust camber however. This is how it sits today. Plenty more to come.. just not sure when.
