Bad Ass Red Line Tires from Jetta R-GT for GTI?

[VWDADDY]

I contacted the wheel company on picking up a set , He told me that the wheels where a one off for sema and might make to production and the tires where Mich. and the stripe was painted on afterwards.

Now ,only if we had this much research , we could solve JFK's murder :thumbsup:

that I think that those Michelin tires are just normal high performance tires where the VW engineers just painted a thin red line on to give it a more sportive look

I was thinking correctly :w00t:

THOSE ARE HOT!
I want 'em! Either that or with a yellow or blue stripe... I'm thinking a blue stripe would look good because of my car colour, but red would still be favourite.
Heh, maybe paint 'em onto the next set I buy... I'll be due in a few thousand miles again. Or is painting tyres a tad too geeky?

they make rims with red lips....i forgot what kind are these but they'd look good on a black mkv....

What was old is new again... are you guys not old enough to remember the red-lined wheels that were a trademark of the HotWheels brand?

i mentioned it earlier i used to collect em

on the cover of the april 06' issue of superstreet there is a s2k with a redlip on either the tires or the rims, its pretty hard to tell. but the tires are yokohama advan a048 and the rims are rays ce28's. i looked both of them up but neither had the red line on them. the rims on the s2k look pretty similar to the ones on that tiburon pictured above. im guessing people are just painting them on. :iono:

iLikeGTI, you are correct, the Tibby rims are Tenzo-R Mach 10s.

The redline rim shpeel was broken down a few weeks ago in a long thread.

As far as redlining your tires...
