Seriously considering joining the bandwagon whenever the forester sells since its probably the smartest decision with my options and I've always wanted to be like Taylor.


If everyone in this thread that is talking about getting one actually does, we're going to have like 6 or 7 MK7 GTI's in MM.

Please for the love of god no. Staph.

Do something tasteful like Porsche or Mercedes wheels if you're gonna go that route.

The stance side of the VW crowd has a penchant for installing wheels that aren't supposed to be on VWs. I've seen them with 944 Phone Dials, 996 Turbo Twists, 987 Boxster S wheels, Merc Monoblocks and a fuckin' million different CSL knockoffs.

EDIT: How could I forget the Bentley wheels lol

If I bend a wheel or get a puncture on the Factory VW wheels (from any model, just has to be VW), I get a new wheel/tire. Any DOT tires, so even some crazy stuff. So, if I go aftermarket with the wheels, I'm throwing away $1000.

VW or VAG? Even if it's VW that's still a lot of great options for the car.

Yeah, Golf R wheels are something to consider.

Pretty sure just VW but I'll check.

I'll give you the rs6 wheels then you can get the bent one replaced for me. How many times can we run this scam for your $1000?

Uh, they will replace a wheel that is damaged. Unless you manage to somehow hit potholes in just the right way that all four bend enough to leak air, you're not getting free Golf R wheels.

Even then, from an experience my friend had with his Golf and from their website reading the following:

Replacement of a wheel if road hazard damage prevents the wheel from sealing to the tire or maintaining the tire manufacturer’s air pressure specifications

It can sometimes be a bit tedious to get them to actually honor that. A bent wheel won't do it, it will have to be leaking air. So on top of all that, i highly doubt you'd convince them to "upgrade" your wheel. 

1K just seems like a lot - i would guess you'd need to replace at least two tires, if not more, for that to offset? Just some things to think about is all, i believe those packages are usually terminable for a bit after sale.

EDIT: just realized you meant if you get Golf R Wheels and then you can use it on the warranty. My bad. Still, most of above applies.

Why does everyone assume I'm idiotic enough to think I can use this to upgrade wheels?

I will BUY other OEM wheels so that I can have different wheels but still be covered.

 Yeah, my bad bud, i edited after. I realized what you meant after hitting post. Don't freak out. 

Even then, you best believe that they will make sure you bought them from an "approved OEM supplier" or something like that. Just seems like a lot to justify the 1K. Again, not telling you how to live your life, just food for thought.
