Selling an almost like new set of VW Volkswagen Golf wheels. The wheels are 17x7, 5x112, with 57.1 hub, and 49 mm backspacing. They will probably fit most current and last model VW Golf, GTI, Jetta, and Passat. I bought larger aftermarket wheels right after buying my Golf in 2015 and I left them...

I thought you just liked to brag about your car's, um, wang. Is there any way to change your username after the fact? I don't own a GTI anymore, so obviously my username doesn't exactly fit properly.

This isn't a huge concern for me since I'm in a 2017 Golf S loaner today, but I wanted to know if anyone else had experienced this. Since I hadn't paired my phone, when it rang on the road, I hit the power button on the radio. When I finished my call and turned the radio back on, the radio was...

I also installed an Adobe Suspension System (ASS), and this is what it looks like when I make the ASS drop. :D I wouldn't mind a mild drop, maybe an inch or so, but I want to maintain comfort and driveability. Would Driver Gear springs be a good choice?

New wheels installed! TSW Snetterton 17x8, ET45. Look SO much better than those terrible Sport Edition wheels I had on there.

I have a 2016 Golf SE with 17" Madrids. It has Sport Edition F7's now which I don't really like (wobble no matter how many times they've been balanced). I was thinking of getting a different set of 17" wheels and stumbled across a 17" Cadiz reproduction. Don't flip about the price. I've...

Saturday To-do list: Walk dog Mow yard Wax the floors in the GTI

I have a 2016 Golf SE that I picked up about 3 months ago. I had the dash pad replaced shortly after picking up because I noticed there were some small slashes that looked like they were made with a razor on the left and right side. Ever since then, the passenger side A/C vent has had this weird...

Installed custom Rabbit center cap decals and applied yellow Lamin-X film to my fog lights. Probably going to order some clear Lamin-x for the headlights. I imagine LP headlights are kinda costly if they get chipped. Would Lamin-X keep them from getting cloudy due to UV exposure?

Got the windows tinted 35% all around (except windshield).

*** WHEELS HAVE BEEN SOLD *** Feel free to delete this thread. Pulled the OEM Austins off my GTI when it had about 2,000 miles and I bought new wheels. They're pretty much flawless. No curb rash our gouges. There seems to be a few light swirls in the clearcoat on the spoke of one of them but...

I've been shopping for wheels for my 2016 Golf SE for a few weeks and I think I've narrowed it down to the Neuspeed RSe05 and the OEM Goal wheels. Not sure which way to go now. I like the Goals because they're a little "flatter" and don't curve outward before meeting the rim like the Neuspeeds...

Here's Kirby, my 2016 Golf SE *cough* Rabbit *cough*. Pure white, 4-door with auto and black leatherette. I had a silver GTI but, IMHO, it had the most uncomfortable seats I've ever sat in so I traded (up in my opinion). My GTI was the S model and this Rabbit, er, I mean Golf has better features...

Traded my Golf for Rabbit R! :D VERY Fast. VERY Rare. Ok, ok... I actually made "RABBIT" badge. Hate if you want, but I love it.

Definitely going to do a white inlay on the back. I have a smaller white emblem that will fit. What do you guys think about having just the rabbit emblem or having little chrome letters to the right that spell out "RABBIT". Too much?
