These are the GTI wheels right? My roomie has a GTI Mk5 with these exact wheels. He's also APR stage 1, APR TBE, with a Carbono (sp?) intake. The look really good on your Jetta. Are you going to run these for winter? If so, with what tire?

Nice! Who is your roommate might I ask? There arent a lot of Mk5's in colorado that are modded and they usually pop about at shows, but yea they are off the MK5 GTI/GLIs. I have another set of wheels for winter (Audi A4 Wheels) with snows on them, however last year I did run my older 18's in the winter since that was my only set. I picked up all season Kumho Ecsta ASX which were more than enough, and really worth it. I just put a set of Falken Ziex 912's on these and they are suppose to be Ultra high performance A/S's which have been really great so far.

Me likes. Congrats on the new wheels!
On a side note, I'll need to see if one of my coworkers ever meets up with the group (though I doubt it). She has a black R32.

My roomie doesn't really do shows....in fact he's only hit Bandimere with me once and it sucked because the stock bpv broke a rubber seal. Anyways, sounds like you're ready for winter. I was about to get a set of forged aluminum Rays, but I've decided to hold off until after winter. Running Eagle F1 A/S on stock rims to get me through the snow.

Looking good! GLI status.
I almost got a MK5 GTI before my "old" 3. I was dead set on picking one up, but back in '06 no dealer in the Denver metro would take even a penny off of a Pk.0 so i walked and got my 3 instead.
