yeah like what tho haha i just got paidddd

[ripNdip]

**** this rain im so bored.
also i decided im gonna stick with the works because its not often you get a deal this good on them. ive got an idea to make them work but im not saying until i get them. ill probably end up trying to trade the tires for 205/40s but they are 215/40s currently on them so they will do.

[Jon.]

Works are the hotness. I gotta get some ballin wheels to keep up with everyone my twists aren't going to cut it for too long

[ripNdip]

Yea I also decided I wanted something with a lip. No one has done vs-xx's yet and the way I'm gonna run them no one has run wheels like it. Well atleast on a mk6 Jetta. That's all I'm saying for now haha

hopefully my friend will put these up soon. they have been sitting on his camera for a couple weeks now
we did it in my neighborhood the day i took off the audi wheels and my car was not notched, dirty and there is my iphone in the picture haha. were going to go do a sick shoot in georgetown once i have the works on

[Jon.]

Looks awesome! Man I was just lookin at some VS-XXs I can only imagine its gunna be awesome. Time to start lookin at other wheels again haha

Can't wait to see it

[ripNdip]

thanks man haha. im hoping to pick them up by the end of the month. i decided im sticking with white for them. i thought about teal but after seeing these pictures today im back to white.

[Jon.]

the biggest reason i wanted a CW GLI was to have a variety of wheel color choices. after having a silver mk4 i wanted to have the versatility, but at the time I ordered my GLI they couldn't find any white, so I settled for TR. I've had an idea in mind for wheels since day 1, but I just don't know if me or my bank account is ready for it yet

down the road start mixing it up with colors, cuz you can run anything on a white car and it'll look good if done right

[ripNdip]

thats exactly why i wanted white haha. it can pull off any color wheels. im gonna do white on white for awhile but ive got big plans for the vs-xxs later on. i want to get 2" lips for the front so they will be 18x9 et28 and im gonna leave the rears at 18x9.5 et32. i really want the votex kit all around so i can lay it out

[ripNdip]

picking up a set of oem a4 s line wheels saturday... gonna try to sell them also since im not getting as much as i thought i would out of the mercs.

[DFWSKATE]

Did you ever figure out how to run camber?

[ripNdip]

Did you ever figure out how to run camber?

havent even looked at it yet haha. i need my friend to take a look because i have no idea on how to do it on a solid twist beam.

[DFWSKATE]

I'm planning on just shimming like a mk4.

I wanted to swap in a mk5 Jetta IRS butttt apparently I would have issue going from drums to discs. I don't feel like sourcing and swapping a TDI/GLI ABS module.

[ripNdip]

yea i heard that also. my friend just shimmed his bagged corrado so im gonna see if he can shim mine.

[ripNdip]

just realized its officially been a year since i have had my car. i found the pictures from when it got hit last july also.
