Wondering if you considered putting black wheels on the car, to black out even further what you started with the PPF, etc., from your previous video? Or would that have been too black overall? Or do wheel makers make only gloss wheels on black, and not matte? And if so, would that not work, gloss black wheels with a mostly matte black body cover?
That would definitely look awesome but we weren't going for a fully blacked out look on the car, we wanted lighter wheels from the start that stand out on the car.
Hey Ryan. You can find the install kit we used on our website. t3-performance.ca/shop/suspension/hardware-suspension/sport-spring-hardware-installation-kit-mk8-gti-r/
You'll love it! We went with two different wheels just for fun. It helps us showcase producst we sell, and is clearly a great talking point on the car.
@@T3PerformanceCanada That makes sense, I've had 6 GTI's. Started back with the MK3. Missed out on the R32, still kicking myself in the ass for that mistake.
What should the guys that have the S base model with 18” wheels with 225/40/18 size tires do if we want your tire and wheel specs and also have the correct odometer readings?
Sucker for straight spokes here!

Team SGN for me!! Looks so clean! Those in matte black 😮💨
I just installed DTM 170 on my new Golf R
#TeamDTM😁👍 Those would look great on a MK7 R 😉
Team TDM all the way. Love the ride height. I just put Racingline VWR spring in mine. Similar drop height. Perfect for everyday driving as you said.
Totally, great compromise for everyday use and getting the look and ride you want.

Did you have to adjust the headlights when you installed the springs??
What bolts did you actually replace when installing the springs? and where did you get them?

DTM ftw !
Car looks sick. Can't wait to get mine. Wondering though, why different wheels on each side of the car?

@@brandonzimmerman1667 6 GTI's wow! MK8 is going to be number 7 then?
@@T3PerformanceCanada It will be, if I don't end up getting to Golf R.
Why not all 4 different?
#teamdtm Old School
I have a base model mk8, for the lowering springs. Without the special dampening system on the autobahn, will the springs still be worth it?
Yes these springs are still worth it. They will be slightly stiffer than stock but still provide great ride quality.

➡️ Which Rotiform wheel do you prefer! #teamSGN or #teamDTM?
Obvs #teamSGN
Tire size?
We used the stock tire size so the odometer would be correct. 235/35/19
