The UP GTI came with two big weak points in my opinion, one was the suspension, the other was the tyres. Having changed the suspension to an Eibach Pro Line kit in a previous video, it was time to tackle the tyres. This car has been screaming out for fresh rubber since we got it. Let's be honest though, what the fun in changing just the tyres when you could get new wheels whilst you're at it?! Tune in to find out which wheels we went for, and drop a thumbs up if you like them!

Just bought an UP here in Australia. What a great little car. Unfortunately we don’t get the GTI version which is sad as I am very impressed with the capabilities of such a small car. I don’t even really find the 1 litre that slow it keeps up with daily traffic no problem and is great on fuel. Main reason I bought it was my daughter can start to learn later this year and she wants to drive a manual.

It’s all subjective, but I do prefer the stock wheels. VW did a great job with the standard wheels. Did you weigh them? I’d assume they’d be much lighter?

@kennchristoffersen9664 Месяц назад

yes they are 3,7kilograms lighter eatch

@athreerd8199 Год назад

haha this video was awesome. 3:48 was cute - her proud smile as she shows of the wheels and then patting the alloy lol

@cmac329 2 года назад

I think the black and red is a good shout guys! Matches the red of the GTI, but not sure against the silver of the wheel?! nice shoes Lauren! 😂

@pauldavid167 2 года назад

I’m picking up my brand new UP GTI silver tungsten on Tuesday. I live in Looe, Cornwall and I wanted a small car for the windy roads. Great wheels guys 🤞

@matimcfetridge 2 года назад

Thanks mate, hope you are enjoying the new car!

Looking forward to this 😋

@carlwallis4585 2 года назад

Love these wheels, I agree with the black and red centre cap will look good on the car, only thing I would do is probably have the wheels gunmetal grey or black but that is only my opinion so please don’t take this as a negative they still look amazing congrats 👍

@richcretrogti618 2 года назад

Hooray, worth waiting for! The new wheels and tyres look ace guys. Are the OZ’s noticeably lighter than the standard Oswald alloys? Bet it handles even better now in conjunction with the Eibach springs. Hope to catch you at the Motorist again and see new shoes in person.

@matimcfetridge 2 года назад

If you had one in each hand then yes massive difference in weight, cant really tell once they are on the car. Tyre/spring combo is great though, properly transformed it 👌🏼 yeah will be down over the coming weeks now the weather is brightening up mate!

@CharlieFrank13 Год назад

Best wheels ever made….and Epic tyres too 😎 look amazing on any car.

@fatbelly27 2 года назад

I had Goodyear Efficient Grips and was impressed. They seem very lightweight but were actually tough, quiet, economical and handled well. I accept that the Michelin's are probably the ultimate though. There are some test results due out any day now.

@matimcfetridge 2 года назад

Yeah for everyday driving the Goodyears are spot on, 65mpg all day too. But for a more involved drive the PS5s are just a different league!

@kevindixon5707 2 года назад

Line up the centre caps with valves driving my ocd nuts, and maybe add a set of rallyflapz

@Matty3584moo Год назад

Getting my up GTI on the 11th sept and I cannot wait, I’ve waited 10 months for it to arrive and will be downsizing from a T cross 😜

@briankeenan6553 2 года назад

How good do they look 👀❤️❤️, awesome buddy , the boss looks very happy aswell !!

@matimcfetridge 2 года назад

Yeah really happy with them mate, looks like a little race car matched with the lowering springs now!

@garymccormack7504 Год назад

I've just bought the up gti it has 195 Goodyear on them def going get 205 michellens next will this improve when going over bumps etc one the I'm hating about the car slowing down to 10mph on every speed bump used to going over at 30 on my golf lol also the ebaich suspension would that help there is speed bumps everywhere I live

@maltevosspetersen 2 года назад

I have my black UP GTI on some OZ Superturismo GT matt black 17`` with continental TS (yeas they are my winters), and i have to say OZ is such a good choice for a small car. What are you doing for an exhaust? personly im looking at a scorpion

@matimcfetridge 2 года назад

Yeah they work so well! Just not the cheapest. If we get an exhaust it will definitely be BCS

@maddog7139 2 года назад

Should have different wheel bolts as the oe vw ones are radius seat, aftermarket wheels are always taper seat

@badusername4 2 года назад

I’ve got one in the same colour and the stock wheels are my fave sorry to say. There are blinking heavy tho when I’ve had em off so the drive can defo be improved , stock tyres are alright I’d go tcs delete before big changes

@matimcfetridge 2 года назад

Yeah I dont mind the stock wheels at all, similar to the ED35 Golf wheels but the boss wanted to change them so that's what we did! TCS barely comes on now with the PS5's, worth bearing in mind.

@GodisgoodLeoIneke Год назад

i like the orignal wheels more. but nice if you like them :)

@98marconi 2 года назад

New wheels looks great! 🤩

@matimcfetridge 2 года назад

We think so too!

@marklewis893 2 года назад

Looking good, how does the car ride on the new PS 5’s and how much did you pay for them, I’m after some for my 2020 tungsten silver Up! GTI, your right the Goodyear Efficient Grips are poor, no grip and hard riding, liking your mods so far, it would look good with some red GTI badge overlays, under a tenner online, I have them on mine👍

@matimcfetridge 2 года назад

Car rides superb, was around £360 for the full set. Im thinking this aswell as a slight de-chrome is in order!

Unbelievably sticky compared to the old tyres, how much different they are to ps4 I couldn’t really tell you. Sidewalls look cool though 😂

@davegahan5908 Год назад

the original wheels look soo much better in my opinion!

@fourpipes 2 года назад

Looks awesome guys. What offset are the wheels?

@matimcfetridge 2 года назад

et37 all round I believe, rears could take a 5mm spacer but fronts fit flush

@chrisgreen764 2 года назад

I think a small visual touch, might be to replace the plates with a red bordered pair. Makes a great feature. I’ve just replaced my Euro plates with the red boarder, through Halfords.

@matimcfetridge 2 года назад

Always been on for the plainest plates I can get to be honest. Not really into any different fonts/styles/colours
