Decided to give the Nittos a try. Should be here in a few days. Also ordered some new Magnaflow muffler tips to replace the ugly ones on there now, and some OEM reading lights for the back seat. Gotta order a few other things before I put them in, though. Have a few projects in mind that involve taking apart the upper interior, so may as well get them all done at once.

Definitely going to need alot of fender work to be able to use these with the tires I got, because there won't be stretch on them. Think I may have to order some fender flairs.

Yup, I'm excited. Just have to order a set of strut bearings and my friend will put everything in for me. I just hope that I can pull the fenders far enough to cover the tread.

Ugh, after some thinking, I don't think I can get these wheels to work without bodywork beyond pulling/rolling. Just don't think I can get them far enough out. Thinking about just selling the wheels and getting some beretta gtz wheels instead. If I can find any, that is.

found some Beretta wheels, should be here soon. Now I just need tires, adapters, and hardware, and roll/pull the fenders. Also, got coils on today.

Yup, I think they look better on a Jetta then they do on the Beretta they originally came on lol.

I know they're 5 lug, I'm looking into getting some 15mm adapters right now.
