Thanks.
This is the first one they will dispatch, hopefully mine will be end of February
Guys, I need some help!
On my Rocco, I have the VMR710 wheels 18x8.5 ET35 with 235/40/18 tires, I like the 19" Savannah wheels SOOOO much 19x9 ET33 and I found a used set in an excellent condition for sale.
The main point that I am afraid of is the weight of the Savannah wheels! Each wheel is around 14KG while the VMR is around 10-11KG.
Also, I am afraid of losing power due to increasing of the wheel size and weight.
Note: the Rocco will have the forged engine with TurboZentrum EFR7163 kit.
What do you think? And why?

No reason to go 19s unless the width is there, 9 is not enough

The 9" is the best I found, I already run 8.5" on the VMR and I can't order another wheel set overseas because of the cost.
The main concern for me is the Savannah wheel weight compare to VMR as it is ~4KG more per wheel.

I bought the Savannah Silver Diamond wheels, it's used set but it is in perfect condition. Pics looks not good because wheels need some shower, I am gonna use it in my Rocco after the engine and big turbo swapping.
I am thinking of painting the inside with gloss black and keeping the cut of the diamond silver as it is!

I was confused about oil cooler mounting position, as I found this info on the internet!
so I contacted Mishimoto support in order to cut it short, and they replied:
I was still confused, so I asked again apart from the upside down which position is better!
And here is the last reply
The upside down is the best choice for my Rocco because the front space behind the Scirocco bumper is very tight, but I have to be convinced to mount it like that.

Yesterday I took a quick ride for 20mins, the car seems good, smooth driving, I boost once around 2-3psi because I want to feel the car itself!
It has been almost one year without driving it, miss it so much!
Now, it has some shower [emoji1]
Will keep you updated!

Glad to see that someone deleted the porn that was posted on this thread. The first time I viewed it i was using my work computer and had to quickly x out of the thread. Viewing it on my phone to be safe.
