similar to above, Pal is running BBS RX II (2 piece wheels) at 16" with Eagle RS-A 205/55/16 tires. Pal got these from a WB Jetta; They weigh about 42 lbs with stock tires (thanks John A.)

Negligible squat and dive during acceleration and braking, flat and almost roll-free cornering and lift throttle oversteer on tap. And sharper steering response to boot. Definitely a recommended setup for anyone looking for awesome handling with an almost stock look. Tire Noise Negligible. |
