Not just a home run, but a bottom of the ninth, two-out, bases loaded, walk-off grand slam kinda home run.

(Baseball ranks alongside wheels and women as acceptable topics here)

Very partial to wagons on Vossens, even OEM:

hey dutch what kind of products did you use to maintain you LM wheels and don't ruin the matte finish?

It wasn't matte - it had a gloss clear coat type surface on it - has it changed now?

I had them opticoated regardless by my local dealer at the time.. sigh.. four wheels in Adelaide done for less than the price of one in Melbourne lol. Then a separate wheel cloth - microfibre - with the car wash bucket to help remove the six kilos of GTI brake pad dust every time.

Hear you on the break dust. I only have 17k on my R but I am going to hang the expense and change the break pads. Car stays clean for a week easy, front wheels look rs after 3 days. Me no like.

[Dutch77]

I've got a bad habit of changing my cars before they need anything changing on them.

But yeah the Mk7 was no different than my Mk6, and my new front set of wheels are looking pretty coated already - at least my chosen alloys only tend to show it up close now due to the color.

Friday night viewing.. seems like Vossens remain the hot wheel of the moment:
