Figured we need a place so we don't hijack other threads(as much) to talk about wheels.
Post your wheels, wheels you want, questions about them, ect. Only rule, don't call them rims!
Picked up some C5s earlier.
Was thinking of doing this to the center caps. It's REALLY easy to do. Just do a little bit of cutting with a saw and sand them down. The wheel and center cap will be white. Have my eye out for either chrome or red lug nuts when I do it. Is that too ricer? hahaha
I was thinking I snag some on Ebay and see how it goes. Since they'll be white anyway condition doesn't matter that much, as long as they sit on the wheel.
I've only got three of them right now, so I have to buy some anyway or run completely capless.
so im debating about doing a feeler thread for the works wheels.. trade only.. feeler thread. just to see what offers come my way.. id take a set of amg monoblock 2 piece... oz futuras (keskin kt1s are the reps of them), tracer tech 9's (mam mt1's are reps), bbs rf's, or something other interesting.. still up in the air about it though.
*edit* im going to sticky this.. so we can continue to bs about wheels

i want another set of staggered 2 or 3 piece wheels.. 2 piece only if its one or two types.. otherwise 3 piece.. and theyd have to have adapters / spacers with tires and be staggered in mint shape.. to trade for the works wheels.
too much of something can become tacky... less is more.. as some say.. i tend to get on board with that theory alot...
thats why the green stayed under the hood.. and didnt carry through the whole car. if its to loud for me.. i close the hood.. and i dont have to see it every day. but at a show or in a line up with cars with hoods open at a meet and greet etc.. its eye catching.. and always makes people have a double take..
see if you cant retrofit some VW logo in the center cap, otherwise I'd go with gunmetal or standard chromies, colored seems a little euro trash--maybe if the wheels matched the lugs?
For the centercaps I could do VW logos. But really, it would have to be like a carving under the paint or something really subtle, like the original caps did with the corvette badge.
They're very plain rims, you can't really go crazy with them.
Hi, any help would be greatly appreciated. I have an 04 GTI VR6 and i just put in a brand new battery. Car was perfect for 2 weeks, drove 300 miles yesterday! This morning i get in the car, turn the key, everything works as usual. Go to start the car, and everything goes black. I now have no...
Abridged version:
Blown head gasket caused coolant in oil. Oil looks like chocolate milkshake.
I know there is a high probability that the engine is toast. However, I am going to try to save it and hoping to get some productive suggestions from experienced members.
Here are my questions:
1...
Just purchased an 03' Vr6 Gti, drove great on the test drive, drove an hour back, drove around a bit later for 30mins. Parked it then went to start like 15 mins later to check my throttle cable and nothing. It cranks and sounds like it wants to start but wont start. Help would be appreciated...
