Re: JustinKYC's MK6 GTI

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.

Re: JustinKYC's MK6 GTI

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.

Re: JustinKYC's MK6 GTI

Looks good Justin! Trust me, yours probably stays cleaner a lot longer than mine does! haha



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.

Re: JustinKYC's MK6 GTI

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 :(

Re: JustinKYC's MK6 GTI

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.

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

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.

Re: JustinKYC's MK6 GTI

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.

Re: JustinKYC's MK6 GTI

IMO's, 18's are more than enough. 19's are overkill, especially on Deerfoot.

Re: JustinKYC's MK6 GTI

It's impossible to keep my car clean here. Just impossible. Hurts me to see her so dirty. Just the drive home from cleaning makes it dirty enough.

But, decided to take some pictures since it has been the only time this winter where she has been relatively clean.

Re: JustinKYC's MK6 GTI

I love my 19s, but they aren't for everyone. You always have to be careful when I'm driving with those... that's why there aren't many people on Vortex who run 19s... usually 18s are the biggest.

Ya I've noticed. I'm always careful too, only unless I'm under the pressure of holding up traffic haha.

Ohh, my bad haha.

Re: JustinKYC's MK6 GTI
