I know a bit about the VW scene in America, if it's similar to Britain, then that "tyres too narrow for the wheel" trend is very popular. It looks shit, but it's very common, if anything it shows how little taste the VW modifiers have. Bad enough to follow a trend of ruining the looks AND handling of their cars.
Yeah that's pretty much sums it up right there.
I've been in the VW scene for quite some time now. Ever since I got my license I have loved modding them, cruising, and doing the "G2G" thing. But for the life of my I can not understand what the hell is so appealing about "stretch"...or in this case "STRETCH". It looks stupid, ruins the handling, ruins the performance, and it isn't comfortable.
Sam, you are very luck to have one of the coolest cars VW has made in the last 15-20yrs. Good on you for that
. I know beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, so as long as you enjoy it... carry on.
/How come it seems every VW fanboy, in the US at least, is either a mechanic, an "industrial design" student, or an engineer/photographer???
