@Sbsl; I think they look good - the contrast between the black paintwork and silver alloys works well IMHO.

Re: Not another wheel upgrade thread?...
I did a 300 mile round trip yesterday, and I think the car has settled, slightly but a bit on the high-side
. Harsh bumps in the road feel sharper, but I knew that would be the compromise. The Goodyear Vector 4 Seasons Gen-3 give a quieter drive and are super grippy compared to the Michelin Primacy tyres. Ideally, cross climates would have been great but are eye watering expensive in comparison to the Goodyears in 215 guise. Next will be remap and dsg map?

Re: Not another wheel upgrade thread?...
I’ve got 18’s on my GTI+ and I find the suspension to be pretty compliant for a small sports hatch. What setting do you have your suspension set to? If it’s ‘sport’ then it may feel a little on the firm side (I have mine set to ‘normal’ - see below).Sbal wrote: Thu Feb 16, 2023 10:02 am I did a 300 mile round trip yesterday, and I think the car has settled, slightly but a bit on the high-side.

Hi SRGTD, mostly eco on the commutes/motorway but I have normal suspension mode for my individual setting. I'm driving it again and will try on individual
