Halo, New American in Germany needing some winter rims

[chaddicus]

So I just moved to Hohenfels down here in Bavaria. I'm in need of some winter wheels for my 06 US spec GTI which will be here at the end of February. Anybody have any 5x112 bolt pattern wheels for sale? Thanks all.

End of February = practically end of the winter. Where in Bayern are you? Hochbayern or Niederbayern? Only Hochbayern gets winter in march I guess.

 

[chaddicus]

I think Niederbayern

I think we're in Niederbayern. Not too sure, I just know we're at the Army base down here in Hohenfels, 30 or so minutes from Ragensburg. I just need the snow tires due to the law regarding them and I'm pretty sure my GTI doesn't have M+S tires.

 

[Sothis]

is there a law in Germany that forces people to use winter tires?

 

[chaddicus]

Well if you are in an accident without Winter tires, you will be blamed 100% for the accident.

so thoughtful
