Welcome to the forum, You can get great help here.
19" wheels will look awesome. Depending on where you live in China, and where you drive but take care so you break them first time out.
Some of the provincial roads where i live are not so good and can hide some nasty bumps.

Thanks. I stay in Guangdong, Zhongshan. Road condition still consider ok. Thinking of getting a set of 19" Rotiform BLQ. But still searching.

Your engine at the photo is a 1.4 TSI 122, but at the interior i see DSG knob :rolleyes:
So how you have a TSI 122 with DSG? this version doesn't exist at scirocco

Rotiform BLQ looks nice, a bit pricey but nice. did you look at Enkei and OZ Superforgiata. they would be in same price range abouts.
My car is still high off the ground on original springs. The roads just are not that great here in rural Sichuan. I'd like to have both options, low when on good roads and better ground clearance when required.

Very nice. AP brakes are newer wrong. With a KW suspension to set it all off you will be laughing. I'm still bog standard as the wife has given the choice to modify the R or buy another car.

So the car shakes at high speed but the steering wheel is stable?

Have you checked the brakes? Are they sticking? Do you feel any vibration on the brake pedal?

AP Brakes are never wrong because they are one on the best choices. KW suspensions are also of the very best.

For the shaking car, i would recommend to remove the brake disc and measure the run out to see how much the center of the disc differs from the center of the hub. As you have two piece disc it is worth measuring it it

What tyres are they? What's the tread like on the inside of the wheel?
