A couple of nice touches on my new car

[raaizin]

Just got a 2025 Atlas SEL R Line Premium online and noticed a couple of knee touches on the wheels. The center VW cap always remains in the upright position. Also check out the caps for the Tire Valve stems. Sorry for the music on the video they were cutting trees across the street and I was cranking the music. The song was kind of relevant so I didn't delete Check it out.

Those hubcaps are pretty cool.

Nice! Those types of wheel caps are optional on most BMWs or else they are available as an accessory. I'm a sucker for cool valve stem caps, but I had to add them post-sale to my cars.

Just like a Bently...Oh, wait.

Congrats and best of luck with your new vehicle. BRAVO.

On a more jaded note:
Parking lot creeps (or mechanics at the Quick Lube) will steal those valve caps and the more industrious of high school kids will pry out those self-centering caps before Labor Day.

Dynamic center caps are pretty cool. Probably dealer installed along with valve stem caps. Hope they didn't charge too much for those "nice touches" .

Aside; it looks like the wheels have conventional TPMS sensors installed. Thats odd for modern VWs as the ABS sensor doubles as a low tire pressure sensor to eliminate the added complexity of additional sensors in the wheels (they lose power over time and develop communication issues) and are expensive.

Cool! Those are super nice looking SUVs.

Apparently if they don't spin they're called floaters. You got tiny ones.

We understand you “just got….” but kindly provide us with more expanded input on your overall experience thus far. Of the ride……..

And that requires follow up input one year from now, regardless of the mileage.

We have about two weeks. I am really impressed with this car. We had a 2019 Q5 and needed some bigger. Audi Q7 was almost 20,000 more and quite honestly not worth it for meThe only area where it was lacking in my opinion was the sound system there was zero bass I replaced a subwoofer with a Cerwin Vegas VS12 subwoofer and it was a big improvement. Getting about 19mpg in town. Very quiet and great ride. Here’s a pic.

Those center caps and valve stem caps were part of the $1500 “ New Jersey excellence package” Tru coat and door edge guards were also part of the package.

Nice! And not loaded with exterior plastic trim.

What is “Tru coat?”

I am guessing paint related?

This is a trend, 24's are coming from the factory on mainstream SUVs. Meaning a vehicle can have 18, 20, 22, 24", same vehicle. I checked and was surprised to find the 24's being 40 series, have a greater weight capacity than the 22's. Maybe with 360 degree cams and cars that park themselves, scraping a rim isn't even any longer a concern.
