Thanks! Haven't driven it much but the lack of 4 finger gap is very pleasing. Time for a track day !
Yeah removal of the stock lift kit is crucial lol

Took off the winter wheels.
Cleaned the summers with Sonax and waxed with wheel wax.
Installed the summers and drove off into a beautiful sunrise this morning.

I was fortunate to have opened a thread here two months ago where a member was asking for a tenth person to join a 10-wheel minimum group buy. The wheels were custom built from an OEM core. The choices were:
-GTI or R
-Manual or DSG
-Red, blue, or whatever you want for stitching
-Any combination of carbon fiber, perforated leather, napa leather, or alcantara in the various sections of the wheel
-Center mark or not
Price was $560 plus $80 shipping and we didn't have to surrender our OEM wheels or pay a core deposit. The buttons and inset are OEM (silver for GTI and black for R) and came with the wheel.
The quality is incredible and the wheel feels superior to OEM for driving. Thicker in the hand and the molding makes the 9-3 grip feel perfect. There are also finger serrations all along the back of the top half of the wheel.
It is far better than I was expecting. I don't throw praise around without warrant. This wheel is incredible.
Here's a picture of the back of the wheel where you can sort of see the finger indentations. You certainly feel them more than you can see them here:
Here's a picture of the front when I took it out of the box:
That's an awesome wheel. I had a Clubsport wheel on my wish list, but I think I've changed my mind now.

Got a APR DSG tune and Dyno run - APR Stage 1 (91 Octane) 5300ft ASL - no corrections - wheel figures. 1st Dyno. Relatively new to all this so not sure of what to make of it. More reading! 
I know altitude has some part at play here obviously and the lack of >91 octane. But anyway good to have and compare with after getting stage 2/3 down the road a bit.

TCU tune is pretty fantastic - only gone 20miles on it so far and in rather busy highway. Got the ECU tune the previous week, but sure feel the difference between D and S modes and love the gear display now.
Also went for 3000/3500/4000 Launch control settings so need to find a clear road to have fun with those and beat these A/S tires into the ground so I can get some decent rubber on.

I added a front lip with red trim to match the GTI theme. (Excuse the car for being filthy: its pollen season in middle Tennessee... there's no use fighting it)

Got it on eBay. "Mix super". Liked that you could add some color without having the whole lip be bright red or whatever color. I think the quality is probably similar to ez lip or all lip, but I'm a little concerned I might have to use the screws. I had to fool around with alignment more than I should have (my fault) so one are of the adhesive might not stick as well as I would like. I'll try to keep people posted. Love the look of it so far though.
