VW Jetta GLI — Wheels & Caliper Refresh (My Car)

My own Jetta GLI on fresh wheels with red calipers popping through. Built it. Drive it. Wrenched on it myself.

What Got Done

This is my personal Jetta GLI — every job I've done on this car is hands-on experience that translates directly to your job. I swapped to a set of aftermarket black multi-spoke wheels, mounted and balanced fresh tires, torqued to spec with a follow-up re-torque after a road test. Calipers got a refresh in red so they pop through the spokes.

Working on my own car is how I keep sharp on the smaller details — mounting balance, hub-centric fitment, brake bleed sequencing. You're getting a tech who tests the work on his own ride first.
