Finally got the new 17" OEM BBS Madras sports wheels, optional equipment on the 2002-2004 Passat W8. These wheels are very hard to find, only on the minority of W8s equipped with the sports package. When I had the opportunity to buy a new, unused set, I immediately jumped. ![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

Drove a few 1.8t gls and really I liked the bottem end grunt of the 2.8L, plus I love it's low exhuast note. To add to that, all the "techie" features (memory mirrors/seats, power folding mirrors, heated windshield fluid, rain sensing wipers, climatronic), are only available on the GLX model, which is 2.8L mandatory
Have never regretted it. The V6 is still faster than a stock 1.8
