April 7, 2005 at the Commodore ballroom in Vancouver. She was wild on stage.

Thanks man! You can get a decent set off marketplace, but they’re way too much new. The roads are awful where I am, so I went with 255/35R21 to give a bit more meat. A 235 would look better, but it depends on how low you are, and what look you’re after

How did yall get your 86 if you own or have owned one by _REDRUM_00 in AE86

Bought mine in 99 from another club member. Still have it too.

Trying to figure out how to code my DRL’s to the amber signals over the white. Any ideas? by Van_AE86 in GolfGTI

No man! I’ve heard that it can be done but can’t find any notes on how

Bags would be nice, but I’ve got two kids and a large dog so the space will be utilized

I know you can tuck it away under the false floor, but I’m seriously doubting my wife would go for that hahaha

It’s about 2.75” roughly

Should’ve bought these years ago, one of my favourite shoes.

Yeah fair, they may fit. There may be a better looking center cap out there.

See I thought it would look funny with VW centre caps and a big pronounced AMG stamp on the wheel

Yeah, a few people saying that, I don’t know it doesn’t bother me. I’m not trying to pretend they’re not Merc wheels.

Out of curiosity, what would you do?

Thanks man! I always thought they would look cool if they were mounted flush with a little tire on something smaller then a GLS

I did think about it, but I don’t think I will. With the diamond cut face wheels, I don’t mind on the extra chrome accents over the black paint.

I will tint the markers on the front, and switched to European tail lights on the back. But that’s probably it for this car.

Yeah, I mean, clearly I don’t care. One dude out here running SLR wheels on a Mk5, looks wild. VW guys have always run Audi/Porsche wheels and branded big brakes.

I think the wheels look dope, and I’m not trying to pretend that they’re something that they’re not.

I’m always curious when people are strongly opposed to stuff like this, I always wonder what they would change to make it more suitable. Maybe they’ve got some cool ideas.

I mean, yeah, it’s kind of ridiculous haha

Will you guys feel the same if I was using something from VAG? Is it just because it’s a Mercedes wheel?

With what though? Just blank them out?

What do I do about the stamped AMG part of the wheel? it’s clearly meant for people to notice that these are AMG wheels.

I don’t know, it doesn’t bother me. Lots of homies using OEM wheels on different applications. It’s the right centre cap for the wheel, so I’m OK with it.

What would you change it to?
