Nice to meet you all

Re: Nice to meet you all

The white Golf is C.J.'s, the black one is mine.

I think I found my wheels, thanks to that DubModder link. Now I just have to find the money for them. I suspect it will be early next year, when my big, fat tax refund arrives.

I really like the J-line 10SL2 wheels. 19" of bumpy riding goodness. Although, the OZ Superleggeras look pretty hot, too.

J-lines are awesome but pricey! For the money you may also want to consider wheels by iForged.

Re: Nice to meet you all

heh, J-Lines on a 2 liter

Problem with that is the car is worth 10g, the wheels are worth 5 and tires are gonna be at least 1k for some decent ones.

Ouch!!! Well I disagree on the wheels, I think they are the most crucial component with respect to the look of your car and too often people cheap out on them. I understand the economics of it but I think that wheels are worth spending a bit extra on and some crazy wheels can be had for not a bad price and they can be sold again for some good money and or transfered to another car.

Re: Nice to meet you all

Or just look for those crazy wheels used!!

A while back I saw 18" OZ superleggera III's for 1800usd in TO (and they came with rubber!!) Or some decent deals on IForged wheels as well... I guess you just have to be patient though...

Welcome! We didn't get a chance to meet, but I'm sure we will in the future.
Long tables are so impersonal..

Re: Nice to meet you all

I'm definitely planning on buying the wheels used, I want really nice wheels, but not for more than $2k (and that ought to include rubber). I figure I'll start hunting now, and hopefully find the right wheels sometime before I get that tax refund.

If I happen to find a really good deal sooner than that, well I might have to whip out Mr. Mastercard, even though I know I shouldn't.

Since my next car is going to be a MkV GTI (black or red, life is full of difficult choices) I am assuming that I can transfer the wheels. Is that correct?

Seems like everyone and their dog will be getting a MK5 GTI.... Howeve the wheels will not transfer as MK4s are 5x100 and MK5s will be 5x112 which is the same pattern as most Audi and Mercedes cars.

Re: Nice to meet you all

Thanks for the compliment Jason. I wanted an OEM wheel that still stood out. Next spring I'll be getting rid of the wheel gap too.

I've yet to see another white 2-door MK4 in the city.

Ok, who's white Golf was that? Heathers or C.J.'s? Either way, I love white golfs, and those RC's look really good on it. Nice choice

Edit: ok, I guess it's not Heathers because I just saw Blairs wheel comment.

Re: Nice to meet you all

I would love to get my hands on an MK5 GTI as well, but I don't think my Bank account will agree with that purchase. Hopefully 2 years down the road things will be different.

Blair, and news on when the Smart will be arriving?

Re: Nice to meet you all

i really want to trade my jetta in for a mk5 gti (still have to drive one) or a b6/7 S4 but it will be such a pita to part my jetta and sell the parts then start all over again lol.. for some reason my brain thinks i should grow up .. keep the jetta and quad my monthly house payments and have my mortage paid off in by the time i'm 26

also i'm still really contemplating a big turbo setup.. i have enough now to do an apr3 kit but no fmic.. but for the cost of all that is pretty nutso so i may have to roll the dice ... or just put on a fmic.. i need the look of a fmic on my car
