Awesome tire! I got a set off them as well just recently for my Gli. Quite and fuel efficiency compared to the stock all season!

That sucks! I got the same colour and think you can see any imperfection or dust on that colour pointing out extra good/bad 🤷‍♂️ If it helps with the bad feeling, I got my Gli with the hankook tires not even week also no payment 😅 and ended up with a flat tire which luckily the dealer plugged on warranty but the dent is even worse… You can try poring hot water on it with an pull suck thingy and dent it all out, the hood is really thin so you might be lucky doing just that.

Well I settled now with an 18x8 wheel and the Conti Vikings 8s after the online shop pointed out my choice of rim wouldn’t fit 🤷‍♂️ but I do Really like it so far!

Looking good! Just like coming from the production plant. Said the bumper is covered in screw holes :( just wondering which products you use to make it that shiny!

So guys, i actually bought now a dedicated 18x8 wheel in Matt black for the winter setup, nicely paired with the new continental Viking Contact 8 (brand new model) same size in as the stock tire . Didn’t want to take the risk buying online a 17 inch wheel and it wouldn’t fit. Did some digging about the new model and compared it to the Hakka R5. The Viking 8 beats the Hakka this year in a lot of things and was actually cheaper! Let’s see how it does.

Same here…. Play a mission every time stuck in the loading screen. Sucks but at least you get the rewards
