Dandy wheels. What are they 14 or 15? Where did you buy them and what is brand/model number?

Plate holder i picked up in Poland last year and the plate I got off amazon. They can make you anything you want it to say.

Thanks for the comment, sometimes I want to just move on to a newer car though... Especially when I don't drive one for a long time. Like winter months

Well... Never thought I would be stancing out my car. I jumped the gun on buying these very expensive wheels from Europe. Everyone says yes but for some reason I'm 50/50 on them.

Here is is, custom 3 piece BBS RC 17x8.75 and 17x9.75 on Yokohama S Drive tires. Static not on airbags

I get that all the time when I put $8K of bicycles on the back of mine. People tell me they're worth more than the car, and when I point out they're correct, they suddenly have nothing to say.

Honestly I know my car is worth more than the wheels... But moot point that they are very expensive. No air bags for me. I rather put 3k into a pimp BKD swap with a 6spd

..........Begs the question, what the hell are they driving? Crossover? Minivan;):p?

Wheels are beautiful but not my (relatively) old man taste..the ones in the pics just above are nice! ..I do love that phat intercooler too:D

They don't know the value of a old TDi. Well they do now since two of the 3 guys just bought older mkv and MkIV TDi for daily drivers...

Regardless I'm not a fan of the huge wheels. I have someone interested and if they sell I'm going with some DTM look which should be period correct :-D
