Tires were mounted before they shipped to my house(from the TireRack.com).
Bolts came with the wheels. I checked the invoice but it doesn't list the part number for the bolts. They are the cone seat type.

OZ should have ball seat bolts. I have them.
Also suggest having them balanced at a good shop.
Tirerack also mounted and balanced my OZ Leggera's and tires, but my VW dealer found 2 of the 4 off. I did not feel before but after adjusting I could tell better. I have found my VW dealer is best so far at balancing
Also see if they install the best balanced tire by driver, front left and worst balanced in right rear. Wheels look good.

What tires did you get? Maybe I missed in notes.

You have the wrong type of bolts on it. Ball seat is what you need.

Got some OZ wheels for the summer. Purchased from TireRack
Have some vibration @ 80MPH so kinda bummed.
Checked for ring slop...none. So now I will swap in a stock wheel to see if I can figure out if one or more of the new wheels is out of balance.

I installed my ampliforms which I had mounted and balanced at americas tire. They seemed to have high-tech equipment and computers and I got the correct hub rings and bolts for them, but on the first fwy trip I got a "pressure loss detected" light but I rechecked the pressures and they're all good. I don't feel any extra vibration on hwy. Any ideas? ever happen to anyone else?

Make sure all pressures are set to the spec on the door. Then simply recalibrate through the infotainment.

did all that just wondering maybe it's a common issue when getting aftermarket rims or not

Error in my last post. They are ball seat....just double checked.

Will cycle in/out stock wheel to find the OZ that is out of balance.


Tires are Pirelli P Zero All Season Plus.

Had the same issue with some Enkei's I bought from tirerack and Michelin Pilot Sport AS3+'s bought from Costco.

I had Costco re-balance them 4 times before the vibration above 70mph went away.

That’s like foreplay without a Happy ending. Full side shot please.

Color looks fantastic! Is the color white silver?

Do you have a build thread for your GTI?

Is this the definition of young and tight? I'm going to check Oxford right now.

I bet it will rub if you corner down a hill hard on the brakes.
