Am I missing something?

The mini drift/slide when he turned?  I think?

Ah. So a left turn in an open road.

What part of Mexico?

In Miami, rush hour is impossible. But when I leave the shop, it's usually 3-4. So some spots are kinda empty. Like today's slip'n slide in the rain

Little test fit.
VMR V701 10 spoke 18x8.5 ET45 - Wife's 2015 Golf Sportwagen SEL TDI

They are going on next weekend after I put the H&R springs on. 

Springs are a must with aftermarket wheels.

I'm kinda meh on the center caps. Need to find some VW ones sans the chrome.

Thanks.  :thumb:

The color is close but off enough to not look too "matchy".

Offset seems to be about perfect, and the back part of the wheel is matched to the hub so no hub rings, and got some black lugs to match. I wish I would have scheduled the alignment and tire swap Monday instead of the following Monday so I could get everything on sooner. Should look about perfect with the mild drop and the wheels.

I wish they brought back their S3 hatch otherwise I would be all over it. S4 is out of my budget. :(

I want the fully loaded WRX but it is going to cost 50K after tax which is a bit too much for the quality...

Thing about the S3 is the haldex awd is fwd biased.
Only engaged in certain situations, disengaged when decelerating, and there's a lag until it kicks it. It has to detect 2/3 second worth of wheel spin
