Yeah my MKII’s are really here!  I even passed on selling them for a couple hundred bucks profit.  Mine. I’m kind of shocked though, at how 14″ tire sizes have almost entirely disappeared in the past three years.  My hope was to run the most aggressive streetable tire that I could.  What I had in mind was some A032R’s or […]
