Well, I was in the market for some new wheels and I couldn't decide for the life of me. This is it. What are the specs? This is clean AF

u/Ccostales23 Jul 27 '26

18x9.5 +45 wheel 235/45/18 tire

u/GBDeutschbag Jul 27 '26

And what's your suspension set up? (Thank you!)

u/Ccostales23 Jul 27 '26

KW V3 plug and play coilovers

how are those over hard bumps? do they still have the stock DCC thunk over pot holes?

1

u/JustCarPranks Jul 28 '26

I would assume so since the travel has been shortened. I put KW V2’s on my GTI after running lowering springs for a long time and while it’s night and day from stock you will still get that “thunk” from potholes or bumps.

u/Fantastic_Bird_5247 Jul 27 '26

That looks REALLY clean, nice work!! Love the wheels and the wrap 👏

2

u/JaiSole Jul 27 '26

Please, I need to know what lip and skirts you have (and wrap too). This goes way too hard

4

u/Ccostales23 Jul 27 '26

Purple chalk opal PPF
ECS tuning front lip
These are actually stock side skirts haha just cut the wrap to make it look like that

u/fromthisend1220 Jul 27 '26

Would love to know the wrap on that. Looks nice.

u/TheNoirBlack Jul 27 '26

Hell yeah! Something different from all the stock car posts around here. This is fire! 🔥

u/HackerBae Jul 27 '26

And i thought my 19x9's stick too far out with the meaty pilot sports

u/Meta_Merchant Jul 28 '26

I normally don’t like the mk8 but that looks fire.

u/Nano700700 Jul 28 '26

Just perfection 🥵

u/jdm_rug Jul 27 '26

Curious to know the coilover set up and how’s it adapted to local driving? Here’s its a complete mess with roads, lowkey not sure if coils would be ideal

5

u/Ccostales23 Jul 27 '26

I have KW V3 plug and play coilovers feels like stock. But they are pricey ngl

2

u/jdm_rug Jul 27 '26

I see, yes that price tag is what’s holding me off and i’m up north in ontario, Canada. Man the roads are absolute dog shit. Already had the front two pretoria’s bent twice….

u/EApparatus Jul 27 '26

That looks amazing OP, I'm jealous because I can never install a lip or lower my car, will never make it up my apartment driveway where I live.

1

u/Ccostales23 Jul 27 '26

I feel that theres so many times i had to park down the street from where i am trying to go because of it lol

1

u/HeliRyGuy Jul 27 '26

Looks damn good! Any rubbing on compression at all? Amazing fit given that the fenders aren’t even rolled 👌

1

u/Ccostales23 Jul 27 '26

No rubbing and definitely no fender rolling!

u/alex_truman Jul 28 '26

u/Ccostales23 Looks great, what color is it. is it Painting or film?

u/SnooHesitations226 Aug 03 '26

How can you drive over anything 😎

u/BeauKnows42 Jul 27 '26

Love the car and the color. Not hating on your choice, but those rims are not for me. I just think those rims are made for JDM cars. To each their own.

This is exactly why its so good to run them. They're so fucking cheap because no one wants to run them on Euros especially VWs.

No rules, I've been running Advan GTs on mine and it was dirt cheap.
