Update.
Well my luck seems to say bad. The Type A's got here with me thinking they minty and in great shape. That was far for what I got as you can read here..

The faces were spray painted, terribly
The lug hole have been milled larger, terribly
one wheel was bent
two wheels had cracks in them.

So they will not be on the MKV. So this what you'll see at H2O.

I see that last shot, looks like the wheel sits more in on one side then the other? I've seen pics of other mk5's and they have a similar trend.

I love your car dude!

My borbets aren't perfect either can't go wrong with alphards man, flashback of my first year at h2o!

[Sir_Townsend]

[WiiGoCrazy]

Intrigued to see the A's on :-)

Yep I filed a claim with paypal over them. I love the alphards. but after all this crap that has happened over this summer I'm pretty much just kind of over the MKV just have kind of lost the passion I once had for it. I think it time I save up and buy my dream car to start a new project, Early MK1 2dr Rabbit/ GTI.

Thank you sir.
here is what they looked for the one day they were mounted..

[WiiGoCrazy]

Ah I never saw your update saying they were in a bad shape, sucks.

Suit it though imo, dish is niiiice, Alphards would be my choice on a MK5, go together so well!

You seem to be able to rock any wheel you put on your car

[GTIKole.]

Well since all the trade offers I seem to get are not what I want I'm just going about and fixing some issues. I placed this order today....

All H2Oi prep. nothing crazy just service stuff but still makes me feel better to take care of the car. but those 20mm spacers will be fun 18x9.5 et20 will be the final offset for the rears now.
I still have to pick up oil on the way home and have to find somewhere around me to do a alignment so I don't destroy a set of tires going to and from Maryland and then all thats left is pull the rest of the tint off the windows and finish my trunk cover.

Ok so update time!

in the past 48 hours I have...
-replaced the wipers
-replaced the coil packs and spark plugs
-replaced my cabin filter
-replaced my cam follower
-put 20mm spacers on the rear (making the Alphards 18x9.5 et20)
-blew a rear bag
-tapped out the frame to use better bolts than what airlift supplies you, which are self tapping screws...
-replaced rear bag and played around with it's mount to make sure the bag was centered.
-pulled the rear arches to allow for et20
-put my new steering on

I still have to do an oil change and a few other little odds and ends to clean up the rear more but it's getting there for sure.

New wheel


The screws air lift gives you on the left and the bolts I tapped the frame out for.

Getting that gas.

The nicest MKV i've ever seen! 10/10!
