    I just meant style wise...since you hate mesh for my car, and you hate the monoblock style? Just wondering what you think would look good? Simple 5 or 6 spoke? No hard feelings, just curiosity, im always open for constructive criticism.

    Nah I have no problem with mesh, but I wouldn't have done TSW or Flik, I would have done Autoart, Spyn, or something along those lines. As for monoblocks, its really popular now among vw/audi people but I just dont like it.

    Autoart is a newer company and are all 3 piece wheels, Spyn is just cheap stuff that honestly looks like everything else out there. I know the Fliks were cheap wheels. They were my first set, I bought them when I was still 15 so I didnt have a lot of money, so at $150/ea on sale they were about all I could afford. The TSWs were an impulse buy more than anything, I got an amazing deal on them used (for only 200 miles though).

    Im thinking about selling the Mandrus and doing something else for next season, just not sure what yet. Im still stuck on the monoblock style though...

    5x112 sorry...I wish the Passat had 5x100, MKIV guys always have sick wheels for sale.

    I wish I had a 5 speed too...if I ever decide to go BT, ill consider a tranny swap at that point, but who knows.
