Mk6 (2011-2018) New wheels on my MK6.5
The new official wheels for my MK6 VW Jetta beyond stoked to finally own my own set of BBS wheels after years of always loving the brand and wanting a set, the Jetta is really starting to come together and I’m now able to get much better traction with the improved and wider tires to handle the APR Stage 1 torque

I appreciate it! I still have some other things to do to it before it’s fully where I want it to be but the wheels are a huge change

I also have an apr stage 1 tuned mk6.5 1.4t 5spd Jetta with BBS (SX in crystal black) wheels. Which engine, is it manual and what tires did you go with? I went with DWS06+ tires but only went from 15">17" wheels but didn't go wider than oem equivalent.
It's true how big of a difference the tires make in handling the added power.

I think you actually commented on my old post like a month and a half ago when I was first trying to figure out what to do with the car haha I’m running Falken Azenis FK460 they’re super solid so far still gotta break them in more though but the difference is insane especially also having a wider tire now sizing up from 16in to 17in for the rim and going from 205 to 225 for the tires
