This has been discussed many times before, as a search would support.

Both the Ruf and Carnewal.com pedals (same as the Ruf, just no logo) are very popular. Both have the black rubber 'dots'.

FWIW, I have Cargraphic aluminum pedals w/ Turbo script; these are just aluminum, no rubber dots.

There are others as well, Rennline, etc.

The type of shoe will make more of a difference when wet than the pedals IMHO.

I have the Cargraphic pedals and have had no slipping problem to date. And I drive my car in all weather conditions.

Just an FYI, but the Carnewal and Ruf pedals have slightly different layouts on the dead pedal. The gas, clutch and brake have the same drill points - but on the dead pedal they are different. I found this out when I bought the Carnewal pedals and there's just a hole in the carpet where I need to screw the dead pedal in (msindi had Ruf pedals in the car before)

Most of it's just what you get used to.

try Ultimatepedals.com and you don't have to modify your vosstech's
I have no affiliation, just seem like good people and very high quality product.
m.k.
