      Hey it is maybe one benefit of a VW, share the same bolt pattern with more then half of the companies VW owns

            But I like it exactly like it is. Except the tire size, and I'm fixing that tomorrow. I'm going with a wider tires.

            As for the wheels, I figure the car has an Audi drivetrain, I might was well extend that to the wheels. Now it really is just a VW body, sitting on an Audi chassis.

                It's even better when the damn lug bolts aren't torqued to 250 ft. lbs. Surprised that crap didn't break anything.

                  Yeah, that shit was bananas. I stopped going to that tire shop. I was extra pissed that they tried to argue that they use a torque wrench, and then couldn't tell me what pounds they wet it to.

                          Adam, you should tell them they could at least have the decency to reimburse me the $9 I spent on a breaker bar at HF to replace my broken wrench. :giggle:
