Smile Hello everyone.

I'm new here and re-born to domestics. Recently converted from driving a VW GTI to getting an 06 GTO. Car is really nice. I have been having wet dreams about this car since the came from overseas.

So basicaly I am a Volswagen Tech for a living and don't know know a whole lot about my new car.

I know that right know I hate the rims. I got the 17's. Any suggestions as far as other OEM wheels that would work.

I hope to get along with all of you. I am from Dallas TX and Myself and a friend will probably go watch UFC tonight so if there are any locals that want to BS about cars and **** that would be cool.

Thanks in advance for the knowledge I am sure to get here. And don't hate on me too bad when you have to break out the

Allen

I also went from the vee-dub to a "real car". I miss the old gti 337 edition it was orignally a 180hp 1.8t had the revo software reflash, f.m.i.c., exhaust, and a billet diverter valve. It was a fun car not as fun as the formula. Congrats in making the switch you should like that goat better than a gti and as for wheels just start looking till you find something that catches your eye or ask some of the goat menbers on this board or you could always
