Miro 111 on VW 2017 Golf TSI

I bought a 2017 VW Golf TSI 1.8L (yes, a non GTI!) end of last year and wanted to get some new wheels on it. I spent a lot of time researching new wheels for the car and it is a nightmare finding the right wheel. Sharing my experience so it will help the next guy since this forum helped me tremendously.

I looked at TSW Nuringburgs and VMR V710s which people had good things to say about, but decided on the black Miro 111s. I actually liked the V710s but they were on backorder for 3 months, and I am not patient enough . I decided to go with the 18x8.5 +45 5x112. Bought them online at ECS and shipped in a few days (I am in Orange County, CA), free shipping through ECS for shipping in the US! Decided to go with the Sumitomo P/S HTR P02 225/40/18. Bought these on SImpleTire.com which cost around $15 a tire, only took a few days to arrive.

Took the wheels and tires to an American Tire Depot to have them installed, which ran me at $60 ($15/tire). After installing they said I needed an alignment. I have heard you don’t need alignment when you install new wheels as long as you don’t change the suspension, but they insisted I did (even though the car only have 3k miles on it!), so another $90 for alignment ($150 total for installment).

A few things to note about the miro 111s:
- The current vw caps from my current car were too small so I bought the the vw emblem stickers on eBay 65mm to put over them(well see how long they last)
- The lug nut caps that cover the bolts from my old wheels don’t fit in the Miros so need to find a solution for them.

Overall ran me at $1450 for everything (wheels, tires, shipping, installation, and alignment) plus can probably sell my old wheels for around $500.

Hope you guys like it and it helps the next person!

Next, I am thinking of dropping it an inch or so, need to save up a little before that happens

Still not "slammed" but never posted with the wheels.

Need to lower the rear a big and add spacers, debating between 10, 12 and 15mm for the rear. Currently 18x8.5 +45 225/40 - Suggestions?

If you plan on lowering the rear a bit I would go with a 10mm spacer just to be on the safe side to avoid rubbing.

low(ish). BC coils and 19x9s with 265s all around

That color combo looks good.
