The 2012+ Beetle looks good. You should know, you drive one. But it can look even better with the new Alzor Style 651. These brand new 18x8" wheels will shoo away any concerns about your car's appearance and they're guaranteed to fit. Concave face. Arch-filling fitment. Gunmetal with machined spokes. With these wheels on your Beetle, you'll be looking so fly.

Turbine-blade styling and that machined aluminum shine. Giving your MKV Jetta a set of these wheels will have you feeling like a samurai at a knife convention... great. Guaranteed for a perfect fit, at a perfect price, it's only a matter of time before you'll be dicing up traffic on these 19x8.5" wheels. Functional as a Swiss knife, but dazzling as a broadsword. Don't leave the garage without a set... who knows what lurks on the open road.

We don't know how you feel about it, but trusting your engine's most vital fluid to a plastic filter housing seems like a leap of faith. In fact, after repeated heat cycling and several oil changes performed with pliers and other makeshift tools, the original plastic filter housing body gets pretty ratty. Why not install a smart looking billet aluminum housing and take the guesswork and risk out of filter changes. These durable aluminum housings come with the proper installation socket, and take readily available standard drain plug seals. Your engine will thank you.

A clutch replacement is something you want to do once, with confidence. Stuffing a fresh friction disc between a tired pressure plate and heat-hardened flywheel is asking for trouble. You could source parts individually and spend a pile having it all shipped piecemeal. Slow. Expensive. Or, you can order a convenient clutch package that includes disc, pressure plate, clutch cover, throwout bearing, and hardware, and let us ship it free. As in no charge. As in easy, peasy. Good. Fast. Affordable. Pick three.

The pros know. Doing the job right means having the right tools. MINI owners who demand the best for their motorcars will appreciate the Schwaben oil filter housing removal socket. Unlike ham-fisted techniques using adjustable pliers or other improvised tools, the Schwaben socket is designed to grip the cartridge filter housing cleanly and securely to prevent cosmetic damage. Made of durable chrome vanadium, the socket has a 36mm hex-head protrusion for easy turning with an end wrench or socket. Order now and have one on hand for your next oil change.

Trying to assemble a complete LED lighting kit for your interior, one bulb at a time, can be a frustrating experience. Bulbs sourced from different manufacturers commonly vary in brightness, and commonly have different color values. Some won't fit the bulb holders when you get them; others trigger false bulb-out alerts on the dash. That's why interior lighting kits from Ziza are custom assembled for your make and model, then tested repeatedly with hand-picked LED arrays to assure uniform appearance. Each kit has its detailed photo tutorial to make light work of your installation.

Stuffing new brake pads in your BMW doesn't really qualify as a brake job, especially on high-milers and vehicles driven where the roads are salted in winter. Pads and rotors don't just wear out. Many suffer from rust scale accumulations, warping, and surface pitting that reduce braking efficiency--and extend stopping distances far beyond what BMW intended. Now you can install pads, rotors, and hardware at the same time to restore driving pleasure, and braking performance appropriate for a true driving machine. Stop where you want, when you want.

If you demand nothing but Castrol TWS for your high performance E9x M3 engine, then we have good news. Now you can buy Castrol Edge Professional TWS--for less.

Horn blasts and sideswipe near misses during lane changes are scary stuff. If you're lucky, all you get is a massive dose of horn before swerving back to your own lane. Where did HE come from?

Easy to install, these mirrors look good, and make merging with traffic a non-contact sport.

Check these out: we have Vaico diverter valves for your 1.8T Volkswagen. Keep your boost inside the intake where it belongs, and cure common driveability concerns with this stronger, more durable VW/Audi valve, suitable for stock or mildly tuned cars. Diverter valves live in a tough neighborhood. By definition, they limit turbo boost, and most eventually fail due to a pin hole or tear in the valve diphragm. Symptoms vary, but commonly include rough idle, a loss of power, or an illuminated check engine light. Easy to install, you'll need one sooner or later, so be prepared.
