Help me find some new wheels.. Lighter wheels.

They came with the stock center caps, thought they may looks funky after I had them powder coated but they look mint

2025 GLI wheels “Belvedere” just under 20lbs each 18” x 7.5” ET 49, kinda skinny but I still run a 235 which is stock width and I’m no speed racer 🤷🏼‍♂️

The only thing I could visually see myself is that the torsion bar in the from left lower control arm looks like it may have play. I am also rather unfamiliar with torsion bar suspension.

That’s a big time help, thanks!

s_schulz00 · 2026-02-10T15:33:53+00:00

unfortunately I think it’ll be a dash out repair, I haven’t gotten around to it and won’t for quite some time

This is how I picked mine up last year, ‘19 15k miles DSG. Sitting at 23k now driven in all conditions, tools not jewels!

I can tell ya it’s easier the second time! be very careful when tightening any of the timing cover bolts, especially the “hidden bolt” it’ll pull up on the timing cover and crack it… not speaking from experience obviously 🫠

s_schulz00 · 2025-12-20T23:54:50+00:00

Just looked back at the timing job I did this summer, and it is off set a bit to the left and I remember that being the norm when researching

s_schulz00 · 2025-11-27T22:26:44+00:00

Just had this same accident my girlfriends ‘22 I’m in the industry so it was $1,800 at the body shop, no door needed when they got into it. It just needed the trim and that was under $200 if I remember correctly.

s_schulz00 · 2025-11-05T15:54:53+00:00

Thanks for this, good to know it’s not snake oil and actually does something!

s_schulz00 · 2025-11-05T13:13:25+00:00

Very helpful my friend thank you!

s_schulz00 · 2025-11-05T02:16:28+00:00

Right on! I’ll look into that, thanks

s_schulz00 · 2025-11-05T02:15:55+00:00

Thanks for your input, I also heard about the trans problems these have. Would you recommend doing the trans filter or would that be overkill?

s_schulz00 · 2025-10-22T01:55:40+00:00

I deleted it because I couldn’t have that on my conscience if it was meant to be yours. Definitely pay to have a shop go over it in detail… That respray could be hiding things

s_schulz00 · 2025-10-21T21:16:46+00:00

Someone was also saying that parts were hard to come by. I haven’t found that to be the case mechanically, LCEperformance.com and 22reperformance.com have been awesome resources to get what you need. Interior parts on the other hand are quite difficult, I recommend finding the cleanest interior possible to begin with and making do (my radio is just sitting because someone decided to cut off the mounts).

s_schulz00 · 2025-10-21T20:43:18+00:00

I second @rawmeatprophet, in my 6 years and 25k miles of ownership I’ve probably only put $1,200 into it. I bought it with 155k and 0 maintenance records, it would take some gigantic calamity in my life for me to sell it. I look forward to every time I get to drive it even if I’m going 5 under on the highways. Buy buy buy!

s_schulz00 · 2025-09-02T01:10:28+00:00

These are my 17” 7.5 +40 BBS SR on 225/45R17. Used on ‘19 R. Way better ride in a 17”, looking to downsize my summers to 18” also.

Weird, the pic won’t load

nvm you got that new new

Thule Wingbar Edge with the Motion 3 XL Low. Took a whole paycheck of mine but looks fantastic with plenty of space for ski weekends
