New Black Forest Industries Wheel Spacers Available Now

“On top of BFI’s already great selection of wheel spacers, they’ve added even more sizes and styles so that you can dial your fitment in to the millimeter. With two great finishes to choose from, lower prices, as well as a detailed removal notch, these are without a doubt an essential upgrade for your car. All spacers are offered in hubcentric bores specific to your VW or Audi.

BFI now offers your favorite spacers in not one, but two great finishes to better suit your vehicle and your build. The blasted and clear anodized silver finish is great for OEM applications and they will disappear behind your wheel without drawing attention to the fact that you’ve enhanced your stance. But if you’ve gone the more aggressive route with a custom finish and are looking for a compliment to those pricey rollers, the blasted and black anodized look will definitely do the trick.

Not all spacers are created equally. This new line takes careful consideration of the details. That’s why BFI has included a machined relief that is specifically designed to help aid you when it comes time to remove your spacers. If you’re new to the spacer world, you might not realize that it’s easy for corrosion on the brake rotor surface to cause your spacer to seize. While ultimately most people are concerned with a spacer staying put, you also want it to come off when you want to.

Even though the product has improved, as well as expanded the number of finishes and fitments, BFI has also managed to lower their prices across the board!. See more at https://store.blackforestindustries.com/”

Watch: The Stig Drives (nearly) Seven Generations of Golf GTI

With Volkswagen announcing “major” updates to the Golf, it seems an appropriate time to look back on what we’ve had so far. And who better to guide us through the rich history of the most popular European car ever made than Ben Collins, the former Stig? Some say he’s never met a GTI he doesn’t love, and that he can’t grow any of his own facial hair. All we know is … Ben Collins is actually a pretty solid presenter. Working his way through seven generations of the GTI (skipping over the Mk6) Collins tells us a little bit about each one and matches each mark to its corresponding facial hair craze. The Mk1 GTI for instance, is light and quick, but can lose traction under hard acceleration (in heavy rain). Despite that, Collins calls the Mk1 a “pure gem.” The Mk4, meanwhile, is a powerful return to form after the perhaps too sensible Mk3. Collins ends in the only way he could, with the Mk7, which accelerates faster than a Lamborghini Countach and is all kinds of wonderful. Watch, ...

Watch: The Story of the Ads that Made VW Big in America

The ads for the original Beetle are almost as famous and well-loved as the Beetle itself. Looking back now it’s easy to forget, though, just how easily things could have wrong. A new short from Dial M Films tracks the history of those early Volkswagen ads that sold America on the people’s car. The story, of course, begins with the visionary agency that made the ads: Doyle Dane Bernach (DDB). As a popular agency for Jewish products, no agency was more aware of the implications of Volkswagen, and no one, it seems, was more skeptical of the brand than DDB. “Remember Those Great Volkswagen Ads?” from Dial M Films on Vimeo . William Bernbach, though, was adament that the firm take the client, probably as a way of attracting other lucrative automotive clients. Saddled with a client that he didn’t want, art director Helmut Krone says in the film that he originally came up with ads that were all wrong. Krone tried to do what other manufacturers did and was intent on selling the Beetle ...

Watch: The Zerouno Cruis’n USA

ItalDesign is drumming up excitement for its new supercar based around the same 5.2-liter Audi V10 that powers the R8. Naturally, it hit the road for a cruise around California last week to celebrate Monterey Car Week. There isn’t much in the way of V10 noise—which is a real shame given the sound it makes—but you do at least get a good look at the car inside and out in this video. With a body made entirely of carbon fiber and designed to be as aerodynamic and light as possible, ItalDesign figures that it will be good for a 0-60 time of just 3.2 seconds. “We put it our best skills into the production of the first car,” said Massimo Bovi, head of pre-series production, when the Zerouno was first unveiled in Geneva earlier this year. “Using some of the finest productions methods and engaging our high-skilled workers.” The car features clever aero tricks gleaned from single-seat racing, like a y-duct up front to improve downforce and turn-in. Available in a number of trim levels, the...
