2011 Candy White TDI with aftermarket wheels and snow tires

[jpsum]

Hey guys, just picked up my first VW and my first TDI!
The weather in New England has been crazy lately, so I picked up a set of snow tires and wheels from tire rack.
In case someone here is also interested in getting some wheels, here are my specs:
- 17x7.5 45mm offset Moda MD12
- 225/45R17 Dunlop Graspics DS-3
It's the same exact spec as the factory TDI wheels.
These pics were taken outside of a tint shop. I was waiting for the shop to open. I ended up with 35% smoke tint all around. Will take more pics with the tint and with the car a little cleaner.

Looks great! Picked up the same car about a week ago, you might have just convinced me on 35% for my car! Any more pics??

Thanks!

Unfortunately, I only took one pic at the wash. Will take more later in the week if it is nice out.

35% is the legal limit here in CT for the front and rear doors. There's no limitation for the hatch though, but I think it looks better if they all match. So I went with 35% all around.

Go with 35! any darker may look "ghetto" IMHO.

you opted for much bigger wheels than me.. I have 15s on mine.. your setup looks much more stylish
