    Curious as to why you think 19's are too big for Deerfoot? A 19" wheel setup with the proper size tire setup and a MK6 should ride fine. Personally I think 19's look better on static MK6's than 18's.

      Well for me, I found that bigger wheels give me a harsher ride and on a MKVI, I think it'll look too big in comparison to stock brakes.

      The brakes will start to look like caster wheels in comparison to the wheels.

        My summers are 19s, so you can go based on those. The brakes look smaller for sure, but I don't think they look like toys either. The ride will definitely be a bit harsher with 19s, but it's not that bad. They never bothered me. I'm with Tyler though... With a nice static drop, 19s are the way to go.

          With a clean drop, 19s definitely look good on Golf's but it's not for me and we will leave it at that.

            Oh yeah, that's perfectly understandable... They aren't for everyone. There aren't many people on Vortex that run 19s... Mostly just 18s, so I'm in the minority.

              Look-wise, I think 19's fit the mk6 perfectly. But I do agree with the minature brakes though. All depends on how much is seeing through.

              I'm leaning towards getting 19s, but the new rims i want to get don't have the correct offset for 19's :(

                Thanks! Has there been a lot of slush in Calgary lately?

                  Everything was really wet late last week, so I never bothered washing either of the cars. I was out of town all weekend but things seemed to have dried up quite a bit... only the side roads are wet now.

                    It was drying up on the weekend so I got a wash on Saturday and since it was cold today, mine has a nice matte blue shade going on with the frost haha.

                    Cleanest car on the lot. Fact.

                          So looks like I might be getting the ED35 bumper this summer. My friend did a quick PS using Vitopon's GTD to show how my front end will look.

                          So hot.

                              just did LED interior myself, love the difference at night. Car looks awesome!
                              I take pictures for money.

                                I really like that! Could you put a picture together showing the different bumpers (side to side)? For comparison
