AJChenMPH, let me tell you, us Canadians know all about winter driving. The best thing to do is go with a 15" size rim with winter tires. Its cheaper and more effective than the 17" OEM. I personally have that setup with Michelin X-ICE. The traction, stopping distance and acceleration are greatly improved.

Thanks. Problem is, a 15" rim won't fit over the brakes on a GTI. I'm thinking about keeping my 16" rims from my Passat to use as snow rims, but that would mean I'd need to find rims for my Passat when I trade it in, sell it or donate it. So I may as well get 205/50-17 or 215/50-17 snow tires for the OEM rims and get some nice, lightweight 17" or 18" rims with good summer tires.

Hmm, I didn't know that they won't fit. You can get inexpensive steel rims and freeing up your passat rims.

Hi, my name is Chris. Greetings from down under....Australia.

I ordered my very first VW at the beginning of December last year. It is likely that l won't take delivery till about September. It's a long, long time.

My order is for a 5 door Tornado red GTi with DSG, Sunroof and Satnav.

The only thing l've bought for it to date are personalised number plates - MK5GTI.

Cheers

Well may not be the first Australian here, but looks like the first from Adelaide when I put my marker on the map.

As you can see below details of my Gti which I have had since mid Oct 2005 after a 5 month wait.

Now have 4,000 klm on the clock and still learning about it, especially the DSG.

Excellent site guys and gals.

Hey guys.

I will be looking into buying either the R36 when it comes to US or the GTI 2.0T and upgrading it. For now I drive a modified 2000 Honda Prelude.
