New wheels and tires for the [G]one [T]o pla[I]d. Tires are Potenza Pole Position S04s. Wheels are a cheap Chinese knockoff of the GTI Clubsport 19s. These are 18x8s. Tires are 235/40/18.

Dat poke tho...

What’s the offset on those? Looking at the poke, I’d guess ET35 or lower?

sm70- why not Duesenberg? > ADabOfOppo; Gone Plaid (Instructables Can Be Confusable) 07/13/2016 at 17:24

Almost perfectly flush at the rear then? We had ET45 225s on ours for two summers, and they were flush at the front, but could use a bit more in the back.

Thanks! Not too shabby for not being the real deal.

These are on some German VW Group parts website for 2,700 Euros, not including shipping. I got my for <$600 shipped.

Yup. Rear could honestly go with some 10mm spacers, but I am okay with it as is. I drive, um, safely aggressively and don’t want to risk damaging anything more than I am running cheap Chinese knock-off wheels already.

Meh, they should be fine if you don’t go curb-hopping (probably), they’ll just be heavy. It wouldn’t even surprise me if the diamond cut finish holds up better than OEM.

Actually, 3 pounds lighter than the stock wheels. VW Austins weigh 26. These are 23.

Ah yes, I had forgotten about the boat ankers. Enjoy them, they certainly look sharp!
