*bump - no longer pending*

Used on my MK7.5 R I thought this would be a good place to post them. I sold the car and used them for increased visibility to the rear as the OEM headrests are kind of big and intrusive. $120 Shipping for $15 more to continental US

***SOLD*** Hello All, For Sale is my set of OEM VW Black Pretoria wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport 4s tires mounted. I'll be selling the car in the near future and am selling all the things associated with the car in anticipation of this event. The tire date codes are 40th and 41st week of...

not really much of an update, but i added the euro sport resonator delete the other day while disabling most of the Soudaktor sound and keeping the exhaust flaps open using VCDS. i love the subtle growl without the loud exhaust note for the price paid ($120 shipped?). Super easy to do as well.

The Ridgeline was such a useful vehicle. Having one for a daily was so utterly boring, but i couldn't drive the z3 enough to warrant keeping mine. I do like the Ridgeline for its creative usefulness.

small update since i'm not really modding this much yet. Kept the Pretorias gloss black and mounted some Michelin PS4S tires on them. After a lot of picture searching on TR MK7.5 Rs specifically the wheels match the trim and tint too well when compared to other colors i've seen. The extra cost...

I've had both. I ride mostly road and am taller (6'1") and preferred roof racks. That being said i only used it with fork-mounted racks. I had a hitch-rack after that on the same car (mk6 gti) and that had its own advantages. If you mountain bike i would go with a hitch-mount rack. MTBs get...

Flush kit spacers: 10mm F / 15mm rear Ideally maybe just 10mm in the rear and nothing in the front. I only got the kit because of points that were going to expire and I didn't need / want much at the time. 19x8 et50 with 10mm spacers in the front (19x8 et40 effective) 19x8 et50 with 15mm...

Center Bore is only for the hub-side. The cap-side is different. I believe the Englishtowns are 66mm outer diameter caps. i'm looking now, but be careful. not all VW wheels are the same. i have a set of Englishtowns and Pretorias (19") and they have different center caps that are sized...

it may not be 90%. Maybe people who didn't like it just didn't post (or kept their opinions to themselves). Posting up to a forum invites all kinds of feedback. I appreciate the OP for posting up what the wheels would look like on an MK7.5R. that's debatable. After viewing more and more...

this. don't be poor. buy both

This, all of it. This as well. Emissions is something i think a lot of people overlook. If the area where you register the car doesn't do emissions than it's not a problem, but if it is then it's going to be an issue. I know where i live (Fairfax County, VA) that if you pass through one of...

Even the englishtowns are considered heavy at 25lbs (i weighed them at 24.8lbs with no tires). I noticed a fairly large difference in driving behavior from the black pretorias i have using the exact same tires. I imagine 28/29lbs per wheel will be pretty sluggish.

i actually have the G Max RS on my z3 on the oem 16" wheels (225/50/16). I also have another set of Michelin PS4S on an aftermarket 18" staggered set (235/40/18 and 265/35/18). I will say the G Max RS tires are good for the money. I wouldn't expect much in terms of superior grip, but they're...

this thread reminds me that i need to clean out and reorganize my garage, which i feel is a never-ending task

the red in the grill and headlights suits the TR GTI so well.

I've had several good experiences from Lindsay VW and Stohlman VW in the DC area. I've bought a GTI from Stohlman in 2010, a JSW TDI in 2014, and a GSW SE in 2016. All good experiences except that i should've come in to the dealership with my own financing to give myself more leverage with the...
