    Nice westy you got there! The Rotas are 8x15 i guess? What offset?

    Steering wheel is nice, how's the driving the suede wheel? Been thinking about getting one too...
    Shiftknob's not to my liking but other than that youve done everything right so far

    Oh and why did you put the flares on!?

        Yah the wheels are 15x8 et+10. You can also get shakotans in 15x7 and 15x9 all off the offset options are pretty aggressive though.

        I've been loving the wheel so far! It feels really nice in your hands, changes the driving experience. The
        shift knob is just for kicks, it looks really cool when sun light hits it! I also have a hand carved wood shift knob that my brother just made for me for my birthday.. I'll take some pictures of that.

        In regards to the flares, the previous photos hide them, but there some
        horrible looking dents on the rear
        driver side fender.. and instead of just having those fixed I think in going to save up for a full respray.

                Gotta love that wheel design. It has dish but no fake screws, id totally run a set on my C if they were legal in Germany and available in 16''...love them on JDMMillhouse's jetta too.

                Just switched my leather Momo to a wooden one and noticed the difference in driving. Interesting how the material used affects it

                Acutally i thought you might have kinda "messed up" the fenders and put on the flares cause of that...do MK2 fenders have these stupid holes to hold the flares and inner housings such as the Corrado and MK3? Damn its almost impossible to avoid dents when rolling the fenders all flat...

                              I actually got the steering wheel, quick release and hub all from amazon! haha. The quick release is really nice. I went with the NRG version 2.5, its basically the same as the 2.0 but has a flange around the edge. There is one little divit in the ring though that isn't seen on the 2.0 and if you line it right up you dont have to press the the button with your magical 3rd hand. I guess the 2.0 is a little harder to use. But its pretty marginal, that being said so is the price difference! I think the 2.5 is only $25. So in reality I might just go with what you think looks better! haha

                              Oh, and thanks for all the nice comments everyone!

                                Thanks for the feedback man
                                But let me ask you just one more thing..
                                Is that bolted to the hub or is it both hub and quick release??
                                Its well cheap 25$ its a very good price
