this build thread and your attention to detail is simply amazing. :thumbsup:

 

[mattttt]

nice wheels! but..... the thought of cleaning them scares me :yikes:

I was contemplating the MT10s before the 3sdm's came up but yeah that whole cleaning thing. it's like you're gonna need q-tips lol
they are v sxc tho

Yeaaa now I keep thinking about what a pain in the ass cleaning them will be.. Maybe I'll just stay on stock Detroits forever, because I still can't make up my mind

Nothing like sonax and a wheel brush to keep things clean!

Lol true story, but I'm probably gonna pass on the WCIs and pick up a used set.. Hopefully trade my Detroits plus some cash on top on whatever becomes available in the next few weeks

Not sure how I feel about these yet but they were just released... 3SDM 0.04

Le sigh. They might look better with the lugs exposed but that's kinda what I was thinking too

Too bad the new Rotiform cast design doesn't do anything for me either:

Hmm I actually like the 3SDMs and will probably grab a set lol. Interesting to see you say that.

It's hard to see the design in the single color design. I love the new-look BLQ in the black/brushed aluminum design.

These are not as bad as the others. These in Black Chrome would look sweet. Rim Shopping is tough, I do like the BBS look on the GTI though.

I know its not your style, but I tend to lean more on the "Sporty" look vs. the Low Roll Look, each has its own distinctive look for the GTI.

Sporty

Low Roll BBS

I personally LOVE THESE RIMS

Well I'm not very good at visualizing, and apparently you can run them with or without that centercap that covers the lugs

I'm definitely a fan of the new BLQ, it just does look a lot like the old BLQ... And you know I'm tryna come out strong for 2015! Lol

I'd roll those CK's allllll day! :wub: But sadly they're not offered in anthracite anymore

And I'd already have a set of RS' if I could afford them at the moment... What's that third set you posted though?



My mind seems to change weekly, but I'm currently leaning toward VIP Modular's cast series:

And just because I haven't posted a picture of my car in its thread in a while...

Only real update, swapped Pedobear for Creep Street:

Matt,

This may or may not help you decide.

Matt,

Thanks man, I was pretty convinced when I first saw them on mk6kulka's car too :wub:

I almost pulled the trigger this morning on a set that was powdercoated white with gold rivets, but then backed out lol

I'm just gonna wait a while and see what turns up in the classifieds, especially since I'll be ordering a new clutch soon too

 

[mattttt]

I just scheduled an appointment with AU Tuning to install an RSR clutch next week! They actually offer a modified version of the RSR that utilizes a beefier disk for $800 (+ install) instead of $1000 from HS Tuning.

I've been dreading upgrading my clutch since first buying the car, but it's slipping in nearly every upper gear when I put it in 91 mode. I haven't even enjoyed driving my car the past few weeks in stock mode lol
