Hi, how is everyone? New here just got my self an 08 GTI this past Saturday FSI with the duel clutch and love it so far! Already got a set of coils on the way I've done some searching on here already lots of good info but what are most people running wheel and tire wise? I want to go flush and wide with a little poke as well as exhaust need something that will pass smog here in Ca
Congrats, and welcome! What coils did you go with? And wheels are something that should be to your taste, not what everyone else goes with. That being said, there are some "cookie-cutter" wheels, that a lot of people run...people around here seem to be big on BBS RS's, CH's, and Impuls, VMR has a pretty big presence as well, (I really like the V710). A lot of people also like OZ Futuras or Ultraleggeras...My personal favorites are the Work VS-XX, Rotiform NUE's, BBS RS's, and Rota Grids.
Hope fully this gives you a starting ground to develop your own flavor.
Oh, and pics or gtfo.
