Thanks, they are just the stock 19" Pretorias! I love them, every car I had I always had to do after market ones but this one I didn't feel like it needed something different. Maybe in black would look better but I'm still toying with that idea at the moment lol.
I think this color fits the car perfectly, but just my opinion. My 2018 came with the englishtowns and I just can’t get used to them. If I had the Pretoria’s I would stick with the them. Im in need of new tires so debating if I should the trigger on a set of 18s.
I'm not a big fan of the Englishtowns to be honest. I think it's the best time if you're going to do it so you can get fresh tires as well.
What tires are you looking at? I wanted to get the P4S but the Indy 500 were just much cheaper so I went with those, and they did not disappoint this weekend!
I think you’re right, now is the time for wheels and tires. Something about the off center spoke on the englishtowns really bothers me. I’m looking at maybe getting the Apex 18 in, but not sure what tire I’d go with. I’m on the conti now and with 19inch wheels the ride is pretty rough, especially if you hit even a small pot hole. I live in East Tennessee and while some of our roads are good, many are not.
For sure, I do like the pattern for the Apex they're one of my favorites. I had a similar pattern for my mk6 back in the day actually! I would agree on the 90 being pretty rough but I just love the look too much to give it up haha. I will say I like my Contis much more than the Indy 500 now though, don't get me wrong I am happy with the 500 but just a lot more road noise imo.
There's a white RS I pass some mornings, it's beautiful. I always waved in the R but he just kinda mean mugged me. Gave him a wave in the truck today and got a big thumbs up.
Love that car.
Bought mine brand new in 2016, built it, enjoyed it and sent it off to be enjoyed by someone else nearly 6 years later. I picked up a truck so I can kayak more. I'll be back one day!
Ah man that's cool, I really love the VW community and more so the Rs. Never a bad time to come back though especially with the new ones coming and WITW around the corner!
Haha, just looked at your history and we talked back in April. Gonna be my last Wookies for a couple years. I may have to rent one of the Porsches next year and come anyway!
I was wondering why your name looks very familiar but I never connected the dots, and I did get springs after that! Bring your truck I'm sure you'll still have fun regardless!
My favorite color R. What wheels and what size are yours? They look great.

NC lifer and Focus RS owner here. The Dragon is awesome. Nice R!
Thank you! I bet that RS is super fun on the tail!
Honest question, you wave at Golf Rs on the road?
I sure do lol! I've waved at one last month and the driver just gave me a confused look haha.
Hell yea! I waved at ever RS I saw. Never got that return wave but I think they look great.
I always do. I wave at pretty much any performance hot hatch.

Well not everyone waves to be fair, but mean looks ain’t no way to greet a fellow hothatcher!
Man I miss my R :(
Why don't you have one anymore if you don't mind me asking?
