Hello Guys,
My name is SmokeyPete and I am located in Central Massachusetts but work in Wellesley, MA (Near Boston).
I picked up a brand-new 2010 Salsa Red Jetta TDI Cup Edition two weeks ago.
- 6 Speed Manual
- RCD-510 Radio
Even though the ride us a bit rough, I do love the car!
Problem is that I've already hit a raised manhole cover which put a bubble in my front right 18 inch tire on my shiny Charleston stock Wheels and took $230.00 Dollars out of my Checking account. :dunno
I am seriously looking for some suggestions on what exact specs I need to put on my shopping list so I can buy some 16 or 17 inch winter wheel/tire combos to get me through the New England winter safe and in style. I do about %75 of my driving on interstate 90 (Mass Pike) so I have been enjoying about 43-45 MPG at this point. So far I have read that a 17 inch wheel 225/45 with an offset of 45-50 is a good fit. I did see a few wheels on E-Bay with an Offset of 40 which I have been told will work with a Jetta TDI but I am concerned they don't know about the differences between the Stock TDI and the Cup Edition.
Thanks and look forward to talking to you guys.
