A side shot - it's gonna take a while to get used to them again!

The 11 inchers and the 'woods really fill 'em up!

Check out that clearance! Tight!

Nice dish on 'em though...

I actually bought a set of those(pretty beat up but with good tires) for $40 off of some dude who had NO idea what they were. I kinda liked them, but ended up trading them for a set of power Recaros. I still see them around, too...on an A3 GTI with a Projektzwo body kit. Interesting look to say the least.
Car looks great, as always!! http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

Does it get so bad in the winter in KY that you need to change your wheel\tire package? In Montreal, I have no choice...

Re: OLD SKOOL! 15"s back on for winter :p (WHITE8V92GTI)

Hey thanks everybody! It does snow here, sometimes pretty bad. I DO NOT drive it in snow (it's just about impossible to drive on slick stuff) or preferably when there is any remant of salt, but, sometimes the roads will be clear but "white", you know what I mean? Sometimes I have to drive it on days like that when my wife needs our Jetta, or, I get bored of driving the Jetta and I just "have" to drive it. As usual I'm just being over the top and using it as an excuse to give my 17s a rest for a while. I'd never posted pics with the old wheels so I thought I'd give you a chance to check it out and see what you thought. It certainly does change the look. Hey eastcoast - click on my sig, baby!

I have always loved your car. It is one of the only GTI's I have seen that 17's actually look good on. Those BBS's make it look so old school http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

Minus the quad lights, and different rims, my car looks the same. That is tight.

Nothing gives me a hard on like tight clearance between the rim and the caliper. I love that ish...
