i have 225/30/20 archilles atr's on the golf. great tyre for a road tyre.similar to toyo and neutons in price and quality.
i love those nitto nt05's.
one of my good mates is sponsored by nitto so i have i stack of just under 50 265/35/18s
for drifting.semi slicks.soft compound.good grip and mega smoke.not cheap though

it rides nice only because my mrs drives it aswel so opted for a soft spring to
compensate for the 225/30 tyres which can be harsh on rims if pot holes are hit.
19s are probably the best option for a mk5 but i wanted it off the ground so the mrs is good to go
without wrecking anything.was a bit of a risk but looks ok for a daily.

must be time to do yours fizz?$999 for golf r 19s on tm.paint them black with a bit of low and colour code trim.oem++ ballin  ;)

Nice man, i spotted ur ride in ellerslie today looks super dope in the flesh. Pics dont do it justice. Haha yeah need to get a few things colour coded. Then may look at wheels

Superb !

Better then the BS RE050A, RE001, RE002.

Grippy in the dry, better in the wet than the tread pattern would indicate.

Relatively cheap too (under $300ea.) !

I traded my 00 Passat 4mo on the weekend as it was pushing on in age and kms was after smaller and something a little easier on gas, im well impressed with this so far, not overly high spec but still handles wonderful.

Fresh off the boat,







should be fun to do some tasteful tweeking
Swaps for an S2K?

indeed it is the one from fast fours wasnt 100% on the colour while looking at it on the net but seeing it in person had me sold only problem is wellington has a few tunnels which get blasted through with the windows down which means it not the best on petrol but who cares

Welcome to a sub-group of the Mk5 GTI club !

I went from a MY00 WRX STI to a GTI

;D

kiwihigh

Cheers.. it is a nice tidy car..  picked it up today 8)

Is a different car to the subi. Subi was fast and had been super reliable but just different league. The WRX was 04 and the GTI is 05 but the golf feels 5years newer.. Way more gadgets  :P

Worked out most of them.
Found cup holder/bottle opener
Worked out cruse control
Found launch control too  ;D

DSG = awesome! Though already looking at what it would take to put steering wheel with paddle shifters in....

Yes, even in standard trim the GTI has a few interesting gizmos.

Have you discovered the automatic window open/close when you hold down the lock/unlock buttons on the remote ?

Or the switch on the inside driver's side b pillar that switches off the alarm system's internal and/or tilt sensors ?

Or the quirky electric mirror switch which moves both mirrors when set to adjust the left one ?

I've had my 05 for 18mths and I'm still finding new features.

;D

Have you discovered the automatic window open/close when you hold down the lock/unlock buttons on the remote ? NO will be looking tomorrow

Or the switch on the inside driver's side b pillar that switches off the alarm system's internal and/or tilt sensors ? NO same as above.

Or the quirky electric mirror switch which moves both mirrors when set to adjust the left one ? Yea that had me confused! im tall and always have to adjust mirrors

and unsure why i can turn off the air bags from the glove box..

good to know, not needed yet  :P

can anyone enlighten me as to what the button beside the ESP does..... other than make a light on the dash come on while depressed and makes a beep after a few seconds  ???
