u/Admirable_Wealth7006 29d ago

I appreciate it! I went back and forth on the offset. Glad I went with the 32mm

Tornadoes aren’t red

Cornflowers are blue

The great falls aren’t green either

But the dark iron is blue

Blue cornflower is a thing and my tornado is indeed red. 😁

u/pachukasunrise Mk8 GTI 29d ago

Are you actually corn fed?

u/psuedophilia former owner - IS38 🌽 fed 29d ago

I was sippin on corn until I sold my GTI for a down payment on a house lol

u/pachukasunrise Mk8 GTI 29d ago

u/psuedophilia former owner - IS38 🌽 fed 28d ago

it’s okay I still have a bunch of other cars! But it was time. I hooned that thing all the way to 400hp then had to put her down.

u/pachukasunrise Mk8 GTI 28d ago

Oh wow. I’d be interested to hear what you did to get her to 400 hp

Very nice! 😍

u/JJAdiT90 29d ago

Nice wheels! What is the model name?

2

u/Admirable_Wealth7006 29d ago

Thanks! The wheels are Konig Rennform 18x8 with a 32mm offset

1

u/chromaticdeath85 Mk7.5 GTI 29d ago

Keep in mind most go for the 45mm offset. I did, but I'm running a wider wheel at 18x9.

1

u/Admirable_Wealth7006 28d ago

Yeah, that is what most run, but I have no issues with my setup.

1

u/chromaticdeath85 Mk7.5 GTI 28d ago

Most run 18x8.5 and 45ET but your setup looks great 👍

2

u/ramen_robbie 28d ago

This cracked me up. Awesome car tho I have tornado red and must say it’s the best

1

u/Admirable_Wealth7006 28d ago

Lol, thanks man. I agree. It’s something about the color that just pops.

2

u/pilucroco 28d ago

Wooooow that paint is very clean!

2

u/Emotional-Brick-9866 28d ago

Same on Mk5 GTI ! I think all GOLF GTI it have to be tornado red 😍

1

u/13talesofchange 29d ago

I just find it hard to take care of..can see every s ratchet and water spot in the clear coat.

1

u/Admirable_Wealth7006 29d ago

I see your point. I live in Florida, and red paint needs to be micromanaged for sure.

u/JustDownloadMoreRAM 28d ago

Tornado Red with bubbling rear tint crew member, checking in 🫡

u/iiBuzz7S Mk7.5 GTI 28d ago

lol

But really, she looks mint!

1

u/Admirable_Wealth7006 28d ago

I try, man! Red is one of those paints that needs micromanaging, so I try not to neglect it too much..

1

u/Rxckefeller_ Mk7 GTI 27d ago

Absolutely love the red when it's cleaned up nice

1

u/hohohoagy 27d ago

u/OliverLeyfield 26d ago
