Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • Damaged 18" Detriot Rim MK6 GTI, what to do?

    I managed to take to a cobbled stone wall with my Rim and it left a nice 20cent size gash on the machined part of the rim.

    2 options:

    Buy a new rim from ECS Tuning for $530 shipped.

    Go to Wheel Solutions in Richmond, Melbourne and have them fix the rim for $275.

    Wheel Solutions have said they have repaired the rims before and they know what they are like. He seemed quite confident to be able to repair it. However there is a chance that the finish can come out cloudy (they repaired a Ferrari California Rim and this happened). Turn around time is roughly 4 days due to how these Rims are. Normal rims only take a day to fix.

    Is it worth me saving half the cost on buying a new rim and having it repaired with the small chance that it will come out with a cloudy finish?

    Give Steves Wheels a call, I am sure they will be cheaper than that quote, they also give you a loaner wheel while they carry the work out so you are still mobile
