Re: 20" wheels for new TT

Yeah, really...
First of all, you'd need to get a 205/35 or a 185/40 tire to maintain the proper OE diameter. Those are narrow tires! (And are 20 inch wheels available in 7 to 7.5 inches wide?) By the way, from the OE tires, you are going to lose from 0.75 to 1.5 inches of section width (and up to 1.5 inches of sidewall height for that matter). Basically, the tire section is going to be from 7.25 to 8.0 inches wide and around 2.75 inches high!! Now that gives new meaning to the "rubber band" look.
Who would want to do that to a precision German car? Maybe you can do that to a Honda, but....

Man, I hope the TT II has fewer people all about looks and more about performance than TT I

If you want you can order them now?

In my country (Thailand) TT Mk2 will be release in first quarter 2007. But I already ordered my through distributor and they said I will get the car on November.

Well that would be nice but other evidence points to the contrary

I didn't see that but I think it meant European release
