The VR gets new shoes...

[MKIIVR6]

First off I apologize for the crappy night shots, my camera licks butt in these settings. Anyhow I ordered some wheels about a week ago and they came in today, so I had them installed. These are going to take some getting used to, they are machine polished aluminum on the front and on the dish, and the inside is powder coated silver. Let me know what you think.

I actually got these wheels for $77.00 a peice through Discount Tire. They weigh in at about 16-17 pounds, roughly 3 pounds lighter than the original MB Motorsport wheels on there before. I love the look of some of the BBS wheels, but at almost $400 a wheel I thought that was a bit steep. I got the whole set for about $340.00 out the door, mounted and all. Also these wheels come with metal hubcentric rings instead of plastic ones. So do the math: $340 for everything you see in the pics, or close to $1600.00 for the BBS setup. Here is the link for them below:

Sonjay, I think these would look great on your Jetta. 8)

[SteveXs2]

Although I think those look pretty slick on your car, I prefer the look of the other ones.

[Sonjay]

[Mr_Diesel]

[GoodDayForADrive]

no, I want them... :lol:

[burn_your_money]

I like the news one more. Nice price too :D

[TokenblkguyVR6]

I would go with maybe a 5mm spacer for the rear, then they would be extra sick. But as the are now, SICK 8O

[MKIIVR6]

Here is the most redneck way possible to clean up the old wheels. These probably have 50,000+ miles on them, with countless outer cv axle failure-grease messes built up over time that have been splattered everywhere on the inside of the wheels. The pictures tell the story from start to finish, but all I can say is that two hours of scrubbing can get old. Damn! :twisted:

[burn_your_money]

You didn't really clean them in the dishwasher did you? LOL

[miamiDaveGLi]

[Mr_Diesel]

[Gotturbo]

[2002maniac]

You didn't really clean them in the dishwasher did you? LOL

They're too heavy for you, plus I want them!!!

[TougeSpecialist]

They're too heavy for you, plus I want them!!!

How much do they exactly weigh?

[GoodDayForADrive]

How much do they exactly weigh?

About 20 lbs each, but you know this already since I told you on IM...

[Calabi]

Do A3 Jettas have a 4 or 5 lug bolt pattern? If it's 5, I don't think these will work out.

By the way, I love the wheel in the dishwasher pic. That's so awesome.

LOL that is awesome. did it clog it up?

I think the A3s have 4 and 5 bolt rim patterns.

4 for 2.0s, 5 for VR6

[burn_your_money]

Thanks. I've taken a mental note of that (lol I'll probably forget it in the morning, but the attempt was there) :D

[MKIIVR6]

Wow, I didn't realize that people actually wanted these. They are MB Motorsports, can't remember the style. I know they weight 20 lbs because I weighed one with me on the scale and subtraced my weight. They are 4X100, 15x7. I don't know if I want to part with them or not, because they may come in handy on a rainy day, so to speak. Yes, they were cleaned up in the dishwasher after scrubbing the hell out of them in the tub. And I spent the night on the couch consequently, but it was worth it.

[burn_your_money]

did you have to wash them one at a time in the dishwasher? Did it really work well? because I have an old dishwasher that would probably be happy to wash car parts :D

If you really want this style, I can pick up another set here at the discount tire I went to and ship them to you. I think that the set (unmounted) would cost around $320-$330-US, and then what ever the shipping cost is on top of that. If you are interested email me at 92vr6jetta@comcast.net

Also these wheels are available in 14X6 sizes as well, for a whopping $67.00 a peice. Basically add $10.00 to every one inch diameter size you go up. Mine were $77.00, the 16"s are $89.00.
