As previously mentioned in the last blog covering our MK4 Jetta Wagon, an update was planned for year 2023. 2022 was spent addressing a lot of maintenance on the car; specifically in the suspension department where tie rods, wheel bearings, wheel hubs, strut tower bushings, control arms bushings and many more were replaced. Now that suspension parts are fresh, it’s time to move on to get a new set of fresh wheels! (Part 1 Update for 2023).
By this time, most of you have already known that TSW Kemora wheels were picked to go on this car. TSW wheels offered the Kemora in two different colors: Gunmetal and Gloss Dark Blue. I went with Gunmetal since I was looking for more subtlety after rocking a loud “Black on Gold” combo for a couple of years. These wheels are also light (19 lbs. for 18×9.5) – a WIN in my book. For tires, I went with Delinte Thunder D7 225/40/18.
Final wheel spec:
18×9.5 ET38 (20mm spacers front) -> ET18
18×9.5 ET38 (15mm spacers rear) -> ET23
Overall, I am pleased with the updated look!Stay tuned for Part 2!
