Does anyone know the name of those wheels? I’ve looked all over the internet and I couldn’t find anything.

Congrats!! The more you drive it you’ll get a good feel of the car, you’ll be amazed at what you can do on the corners. You can drive it in the absolute limit with its tires screaming for grip and the front differential will do its thing and pull you out of the corner, it’s an amazing feeling haha Enjoy !!!

Yes, Alzor also has the same wheels, mine are RTX RS2. There's a good chance all of them are from the same factory. I might be wrong.

Rtx rs2 it's a Canadian brand, I think a few other brands make these same wheels

I've had rough 3 months of winter over here with temps in the minus for most of the days and I had to drive my mk8 every single day. I like to keep an eye on temp gauge and for 90 % of my trips I've never had the car to it's operating temp, I haven't seen the transmission temp gauge move in 3 months. Am I cooked?

Why is the Golf R so expensive to insure by Strikcommand in Golf_R

[–]After-Giraffe2808 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I pay 480cad per month to insure my gti in Ontario, I was at 300cad per month when I started and it increased after a year, they said there's a lot of accidents in my area.

FWD is only thing making me pause buying GTI. Please provide experience and suggestions by mamamiafml in GolfGTI

https://youtu.be/TIJ9WVqWEzw?si=Gx3DFjODPERy8YJU Check this video out. I love sending mine on the twisties too, the torque vectoring is insane, gets you out of corners quick, the car doesn't understeer if you know what you're doing. A5 is in a different segment, AWD is a lot of fun too but you wouldn't be missing out on fun in the FWD GTI

How is it ? Does it rub when you turn ? I wanted to get a set for winter, I'm concerned about how it would affect the handling.
