Nice amount of lip, would look pretty nice I think. Not sure on the quality though.

Re: what do you guys think of thesE?

I say hit it! Since its no-name and on ebay its probably a cheap import but I still think it will look awesome and if you keep em in good care, they should last.

Re: what do you guys think of thesE?

ok thanks guys for all of your input... will go ahead after x'mas (my 90% of my disposable income is going to my other hobby---reef keeping)

what do you guys think about tires?? any specific brand or things that i have to look out for?

let me use this chance to get you all a user review on the 2.0T. Of course, since being a owner of a 1999 2.0 115hp, the change has been no less than dramatic, power/torque/interior... pretty much everything has been great!

The car is what i have expected, all grown up, sort of.

I want to comment 3 things.

1. the car is so fuel efficient, that it uses less gas than the old 2.0L and i rip the car alot harder than my old one... that is amazing considering the extra power and torque plus weight,,,!!!

2. bi-xenon is auto height adjustable. a very fun thing to have. especially with the headlight washer squeezing washer fluid all over the front end, its like having a mini fountain!!! ,,, VERY POWERFUL!! FUN

3. last point, ESP is amazing in winter, it correct understeer in slippery roads, as long as you trust the system and put stable throttle. very impressive.

so far, the car is 9.5 / 10.. the last 0.5 pt? you always want more power.... and the car is sitting far too high... even with sport suspension. but the handling is magnificient!!

ending remarks... as a day to day driver.. i am not a pro but i really appreciate the car a lot more than people just take one for the testdrive... i DID hesitate before my time of purchase but now my love to the car has grown so much... i hope you all can give this car a chance, wait and see all the mods/upgrades of this beatuiful euro mid luxury sedan.. i am confident it WILL grow on you.

yea the 2.0t is sick.

as for tires.. if you want strict summer only i really liked my previous fuzion zr-i's the price was right and they were really grippy and quiet.

Re: what do you guys think of thesE?

since i am doing the wheels, maybe i can ask if any of you guys is interested in a groupbuy from the eurowheelsusa. i have spoken with the people down there and they seems to be nice.

their store is at the ebay store...

http://stores.ebay.com/euro-wheels-usa

i can get the 19's for 850 US plus shipping,,, i will do the sweetgrass thing.. i think that is a screaming deal is it?

maybe if 3-4 of us buy together we can lower the price??

Re: what do you guys think of thesE?

For tires, I previously had BFG's and I switched to Kumho's after reading/hearing some good reviews. Although I find that the Kumho's do offer predictable handling, the grip isn't as good and they squeal. In retrospect it feels a little like I "cheaped out" on the tires and would not do so again. I recommend getting a really good tire even if it is at a bit of a premium.

Re: what do you guys think of thesE?

i'm gonna get the fuzion zris again on my next wheels i like those tires unless something else catches my eye of course

Tire test is your friend. Here we have one fresh from C&D test on December. I’ll say any of the top 5 is good IMO. Now is the question to yourself is if you want to break your wallet on expensive tires on the street. Haha.

Current set is PS2. They perform better than I expected but until 10C temperature they start to sux.

Re: what do you guys think of thesE?

Im I the only one that saw
"ET 35"

I think the highest ET you could run is 40-45?

Your gonna have too much POKE, in a bad way

Re: what do you guys think of thesE?

Well I am not sure what the stock offset for MK5s is? 35 would have been perfect for a MK4.

Re: what do you guys think of thesE?

saw it in vortex said it could be done... maybe i should ask for a firment guarantee..

the wheels that i am getting is 19X8.5... +ET35. so i think the wheels are going to stick out by an extra 15mm?? (becasue stock is +ET50)
