Love my new wheels
I am so glad I went with the Anthracite FR500's. I think they are the perfect wheel for a DSG Mach 1. I got the 18X9 18X10 wrapped in Sumitomo tires.

Re: Love my new wheels
Looks good. I agree with you. I only like those wheels on DSG paint.

Re: Love my new wheels
Very nice, Gary. I'll give you a heads up- they aren't as fun to clean as they are to look at.

Re: Love my new wheels
Nice wheels. I have black with chrome lips. But be warned from personal experience: Sumitumos=hydro planing. They suck.

Thanks!! I read that on the reviews on these tires but I never drive my car in the rain so I should be alright. I am the original owner so I've had the car over 11 years now and it has only been on wet roads once.

Re: Love my new wheels
That may happen next year. I have to save my money to buy a new car or truck this fall. My daily driver is getting pretty worn out.
