i FINALLY got my new wheels it only took me seven months to decide what i wanted, and yes they are JDM. i’m not too sure what these are called or what they were made for…but i love them, all i know is that they are Zauber’s. i just need to decide on tires and wait till spring to slap them on the car. but here are some pics. i think i’m going to run 205/45/17’s on the fronts and 225/45/17’s on the back. they’re 8" and 9.5" i know i know staggered on FWD is pointless…but its the look i’m going for. i bought them from seattle and this was what they were on… ![http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c125/ohtellmelies/gti/IMG_6123.jpg](http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c125/ohtellmelies/gti/IMG_6123.jpg) ![http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c125/ohtellmelies/gti/IMG_6415.jpg](http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c125/ohtellmelies/gti/IMG_6415.jpg) ![http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c125/ohtellmelies/gti/IMG_6416.jpg](http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c125/ohtellmelies/gti/IMG_6416.jpg) ![http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c125/ohtellmelies/gti/IMG_6410.jpg](http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c125/ohtellmelies/gti/IMG_6410.jpg) kittah snuck in. oh i forgot. they’re going on this little one. ![http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c125/ohtellmelies/gti/Oktoberfest07005.jpg](http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c125/ohtellmelies/gti/Oktoberfest07005.jpg) ---

> [@Some stupid VW modding website](#): > > **Tires** > > Continuing the **aggressive Euro look, I decided to go with the stretched tire appearance** , fitting a set of Falken GR Beta FK-451s in 235/35/19 both front and rear. The FK-451 is a tire designed for the sport compact market and geared as a high-performance street tire with good wet weather and dry weather traction. > > ``` > Mounting these tires on such wide wheels caused concern at the local tire shop, where they questioned the safety of this particular combination. Some shops just aren’t familiar with the stretched look, though Falken’s own website recommends that tire size for wheels 8 to 9.5 inches wide. Even when properly installed, they exactly look like “normal” tires do, and stretching the tires mean the full lip of each wheel is exposed. It’s a risky move, but a textbook Euro-look that draws a lot of attention at shows like Dubfest or SEMA. > > ``` :hang: [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/new-wheels-vw-jdm-yo/44332.md?page=2)
