Not sure who they are, but pretty sure none of the above. There are not a huge number of multipiece billet wheels out there but they look pretty sweet

Oh yea, shoulda noticed they were multipiece. That's just crazy, i'd be curiouse to know how much those things were.

Re: New Beetle DSG

Thought I could add something to this thread. I've driven a NB TDI DSG. It's outstanding. So good in fact that 5-sp auto-tip can go straight to hell. I hope VW drops all of the slushy automatics, and only offers true manual and DSG. (I know they are planning on offering only 6-sp transmissions for MK5).

In the NB, it's extremely smooth, and very responsive compared to a conventional automatic. The part I hated most about autos is waiting for the transmission to kick down when you stepped on it. It's almost like you had to put in a request and wait for a response. In the DSG, the downshift is almost instantaneous.

Excellent transmission. It makes that car quite fun to drive.
