Definitely like the new 17" rims better. DO you notice a big change in ride quality or acceleration?

Talk about stuffin. Looks great, but how is that 8v pushing the extra weight?

yeah, just don't post the pic on the vortex, they would have a cow! 17's on an A1 is a no-no there.

I honestly find it amazing and somewhat amuzing how brutal almost all the other forums on the "Tex" are outside of the rocco forum.

I thought all the Tex forums were easy going since I never ventured out of the rocco forum for the first 6 months I was on the Tex. Then one day I ventured over to the golf III forums and was blown away. I tried a few other forums and saw the same thing. PPl getting bitched at for asking questions and not searching over a year back first and other stupid crap like that. Thats a big reason these forums came to be. Well, that and there wasn't a cabby forum on the Tex at all back then.

But I tell ya, you want a show, go read through the golfIII and up forums, it's like a warzone most of the time.

I ve been on other car forums when Ive been interested in a specific brand of car and asked genuine newbie questions or wanting a genuine comparison between my car and theirs for market research sake. Most times the first few anserws to my post are mean or sarcastic. I always get on the guys who do that on the Toyota forum I subscribe to. Thank god no one is that mean here.

I bought the car without the Porsche Wheels.

It's too big for a mk1. It's nice to see it, but for a daily driver is it not comfortable en praktical (kids etc.).

Sometimes I am mad that I didn't bouhgt the wheels. Grrrrrrr. Only for meetings!!!!!
