Looks amazing! Do you have any other pics of those epic White gold wheels?

I’ll take better pics when I’m somewhere more scenic other than home ! They seem to be more a bronzy effect when the sun is down but brighter and more golden in daytime.

Here is my bone stock 2021 S right off the lot last weekend. My first GTI and I love it! So swift and tight.

Bought a roof rack and put the basket on. There’s a bit of wind noise and lost about 2 mpg.

Also changed the APR stage one high torque down to the low torque file. The high torque was great but at WOT 3rd and up, the turbo would surge/flutter making the power delivery feel uneven- if that makes sense. Anyway, talked to the tuning shop and they didn’t really have much to say except to change the tune. So went with the low torque file and the power delivery is much better and no more flutter. Since the car is a 2021, APR doesn’t have a TCU file available yet.. and I’m not certain if other companies have it either. So low torque until TCU is available!

Isn’t power delivery super weird till you also tune the dsg too?
I have the dsg tune with the high tq tune. Had the low tq stage 1 with dsg before hand. Both felt plenty smooth

From what I’ve read, yes.

I searched like crazy to see if anyone has had the same issue but really couldn’t find anything. Best way I can describe the surging thing is that it felt like the boost would peak then drop for a split second the peak and drop etc.. I even put a GFB diverter valve and still had the problem but it made the flutter much more audible. Doesn’t happen with the low torque file for some reason though.

i see, i wouldnt have written off the tune till the dsg was also tuned too

I think I like those rims better than the Belvederes that came on my car.

The Belvederes are very nice, lighter too. I just got the Rotary wheels put on yesterday, the stock Miltons/Dallas one's just stood out too much for me, they have a Polo WRC vibe

I just need a drop and some spacers...
