The Official Mk8 Wheel Thread

[Dutch77]

This car is not terrible.

Mk8 seems to like the ST LMs..

Tuesday bonus:



The Mk8 is going to provide a decent platform over time - but an especially good reason to do a front plate holder delete when you pick one up.

VW are getting mighty close to matching the Suzuka for atrociousness here..

Pretty sure they get the atrociousness win over the Suzukas...

I tend not to post mock-ups, but I'll bend now. This is a styling exercise by German tuner JMS showing off their body work design for the Mk8 with 19" Barracuda Tzunamee EVO wheels - which reminds me of something off a early 2000s Falcodore.

A bit late to the party, but they look similar to the HSV VE GTS rims

I suspect like me you had an amalgamation of the earlier E series wheels against E2/E3 GTS. Went from average to "recent VW horrible" in true style:

Just receive my new Golf R.
My first impression is the car is even better that I was expecting! It is really amazing and everything that you heard about driving the Golf R, it is true!
My complain is about the UX. I am not talking about the screen or the touch elements but about behaviors that I was expecting more.
- Example: I can not set the default drive mode. Every time that I start the car, it moves to “Sport Mode”. The sport mode is fantastic but not for a daily drive. The steering heavy and the hard suspension is really not what I am expecting for my day by day. I can keep changing it every day, but it is a very bad experience.
I am reporting this to VW quality team.
I believe if 5 more people send an email asking for them to allow us to set the default "drive mode", they can do it by a software update very quickly.
If you agree and can help me, please send an email to Mayra C. at vwcustomercare@vw.com
Thank you
