What setting have you the DCC in? Try the lowest (softest) setting. They're definitely jittery if set all the way to sport.

Had it in comfort but I think I need to test it out a bit more, was maybe only on a certain road. It defo grabbed my attention though. Will monitor though and have a play with the different settings.

Apologies for going off topic, but something to consider with your plan to run the red / black Queenstown alloys on your car during the winter months;
  • The red / black Queenstown alloys are diamond cut (the finish on the red sections is described as a red glaze by VW - essentially a red tinted lacquer over the diamond cut sections). The finish on diamond cut alloys isn’t renowned for good durability when subjected to winter road conditions (road salt, grit, snow, slush) and they often succumb to unsightly white worm corrosion.
  • To get rid of white worm corrosion requires a professional refurb which probably costs in the region of £125 + VAT per wheel these days, and AFAIK not all alloy wheel refurb companies will do the colour tinted lacquer finish.
The black Warmenau’s have a painted / powder coated finish which is highly durable and should be able to withstand winter road use without issue. If I had a two sets of alloys - one set with a diamond cut finish and the other with a painted / powder coated finish - I know which I would fit for winter use and it wouldn’t be the diamond cut set.

As a matter of interest, many aftermarket alloy wheel retailers will include a set of filters on their websites to help narrow down the search criteria. If one of those filters is ‘winter use’ then it’s highly unlikely any selection of alloys intended for winter use will include diamond cut wheels because of the poor durability of finish when compared to alloys with a painted / powder coated finish.

Very nice!

Out of interest did you buy the wheels separately via the dealer or elsewhere? And if you don’t mind me asking how much are they?
