Tiptronic with paddle shifting, Hi-Def (RGT) OEM body kit. Previous cars: 04 Jetta GLS 2.slow (Silver) 05 Jetta GLI 1.8t (PG) 06 Touareg V8 (white) on 22's 07 Passat 2.0t W.E (silver) Future upgrades are as followed Exterior: Color match lower door molding Black S4 headlights Smoked turn signal Interior: Upgrade seats to the OEM sport style in Black Complete Brush aluminum dash trim Nav unit Upgraded speakers Headrest monitors R32 steering wheel Pedals Engine: K04 3" DP & Hi flow cat Move battery to the rear CAI DV Suspension & brakes: Nuespeed RSB K-sport Coilovers White Cailpers Cross drilled rotors Heavy duty pads (unknown) Current MODS: Wheels: VMR VB3 19x8.5 (45et) in Gunmetal 235/35/19 tires Nexen N3000 Engine Revo Stage 1 installed by BSH With out further adue the car.

Sucks you're gonna drive the car high. Wheels will look good. (when low at least.) You should paint the door inserts white asap, they look really out of place.

We first saw VMR wheels at Dub-Fest 2008 and immediately fell in love with the VB3 (CSL) mesh design. No looking back, we knew that when the time came to get new tires we would be going all out and upgrading our stock 17 wheels. The wheels were order on a Monday and at my door step by Wednesday evening. We choose to wrap the wheels in Nexen N3000 235/35/19. To be honest they were the cheapest Tires I could find. Another review will come after Jen racks a couple of miles on them. Please if you have the time stop by and visit their web site, they have several other wheel design and even offer custom powder coating.Fast forward 1 year. The time has come to purchase new wheels and tires. I revisited VMR website and to my astoundment they were offering the VB3 in Gunmetal. I quick called Steve and overloaded him with abundance of question about the wheels construction, weight, offset, fitment, recommended tire sizing and so forth. Being that this car is a daily driver, in the end we settled for 19x8.5 (45et) all around. My main goal with this build is centered on a strict budget. We knew we wanted an elegant but yet affordable wheel design. The slight concave design and spoke thickness was a perfect match for the car. The solid mesh design was by no means a light weight wheel, 25.5 lbs per wheel but the quality, style and color was worth every penny. The gunmetal color really adds to the features already offered by the Hi-Def two tone body kit. They fill in the wheel well nicely and take the car to the next level of aggressive styling. http://www.velocitymotoring.com/ Thank you, Jen & Rob Current pictures on stock suspension. Hopefully Have some K-sport installed soon.

500 Mile review on the Nexen N3000 (235/35/19). Dry grip is outstanding, I feel much more confident to throw the car round tight corners and have done with no loss of grip. Ride comfort from 17" to 19" is barley noticeable on the Nexen. The car almost feels like it gliding down the road. I would rate the noise level about 2 out of 10. Only had 1 wet day so far but they seem to handle just fine. For the money they are a outstanding tire and you cant go wrong. Tread design is also something to talk about and they look amazing. These have made driving a pleasure again.Would I buy them again? Damn straight.. Jen & Rob
