Thanks man! The weight is listed at 17.4 lbs. Tires are Falken Azenis summer tires (I really like these tires a lot), 235/40/18. I guess the picture seems to show some gap, but I don’t really mind it, or think it’s too big in person. I’ve gone back and forth with lowering vs not lowering and...

It’s been a little while since I got my Konig F1M wheels installed. I’ve been happy with them thus far, especially since I didn’t pay full price! :)

Thought I’d post a follow up. Changed the PCV and it looked like the gasket on the old one had some deterioration around the edges and I swear I saw some hairline cracks on one of the edges of the plastic portion. Not 100% sure I caused it when taking it off. At any rate, with the new PCV...

What’s the consensus on smoke from exhaust on startup? car has 40k miles, not consuming oil or coolant, and is stock - just started getting smoke like this today: SMOKE I have a replacement PCV I got awhile back as a “just in case” that I can install, but really curious if that doesn’t fix it...

SOLD!

Not sure if that’s the one. Here’s the link. They look great. Apex - Fifteen52

I didn’t drive with them, so can’t comment on that part - but just installing, I checked and there was zero contact anywhere. Other users have commented that this setup does not rub and does not need modifications. They appear to be correct!

I have a set of brand new Neuspeed RSE11R in 18x8.5 +45 (Hyper Silver), with brand new Michelin PS4S, 255/35/18 tires, that were mounted and balance by Neuspeed. Did I mention these are brand new wheels and tires? :) 2 of the wheels were unpackaged to test fit on my car, the other 2 are still...

great looking wheels, does anyone have experience with either model?

I’m curious what you ended up doing! I was going to go the same route as you, IF I decided to do coilovers. I still may just save some money and do Eibach springs and sport dampers.

That’s very nice of you, but I don’t want to make you go out of your way to mail something. The DIY looks easy enough! …As if I needed a reason to go to mess around at Home Depot 😂

Here are Enkei TS-V in Storm Gray. 18x8 +45 on Falken 225/40/18. I also have coming to me, Neuspeed Rse11R 18x8.5 +45 on PS4S 255/35/18

I know this is an old thread, but that looks good (!!) and makes me feel good about the 18x8.5 with 255/35 I just ordered….also on stock suspension 😬

I meant to ask you, have you noticed any difference in (negative), fuel efficiency with the wider tires? I’ve been reading that the difference is minor. Also, how is the handling/braking? Better with the 255? https://tireblogger.com/235-vs-255-tires/

Those do look somewhat similar to the Neuspeeds. I've been looking and doing research and I'm to the point where I may just go ahead and get a set of decent forged wheels. My search has mainly been focused on wheel weights, so this may be the best option for me anyhow.

I saw a comment under a YouTube video where someone mentioned that by them using a clutch-stop it caused them to go through 3 (!) different clutches. They claimed the shorter/after market stop affected the slave/TOB. Anyone with mechanical knowledge of these parts know if it’s true? I’d love...

The screenshot was from Prestige Volkswagen in Melbourne

I just had my oil changed at the dealer at 35k miles. They sent me a coupon for a coolant flush that was a cost savings, so I went ahead and did it. May not have NEEDED it, but i went ahead and did it anyway. I’m trying to keep this car running great for as long as possible! I also changed my...

Thanks, I do see Neuspeed (the RS versions), fitted on quite a bit of GTIs. Here are the weights, if anyone reading this is curious: APR A01 - 18.5 lbs iSweep - 19.75 lbs Edit: cost info: I can get the APR wheels (w/ PS4S tires), for $850 less than the iSweeps! I sure wish Neuspeed would...
