I been this low for about 25k miles already. Just got some 18s for it, nothing exciting but it might hold me over.

Or not.

Old wheels

Geez. When will you people learn...buy what you like the first time.

But I think they rock. Its subtle, yes. But you start to lose something when you get crazy Euro touring rims like the dubbers do. I like the stance as well.

Stock looking is underrated

Hmmmmmmm, I am not sure if I like the stocks or the new ones more. The new ones give your car the feel of an older audi,.....which IMO is a good thing. That said, the stockies looked good too. I'll give you a better opinion when I see your car at the meet.

I dont care, my car might be dirty for the meet. I have a ton of work to do on it that wont happen before the meet. I am having trouble motivating myself anyway. It needs the works,.....claying, polish, paint cleaner, sealant and wax. Right now (literally) I am working on the wheel mounts while I put the OEM's back on the car. Polishing off the rust and putting an acrylic coating on the mounts to prevent rust etc.

Those are one of the best looking rims for that car, and it keeps it stock-looking. Very nice. I was checking to see if your spokes were curved or straight, they're curved, so you're good to go :wink:

Looks nice! Most of the time you can go wrong with some nice OEMs.

Jesal, I might swap out my suspension setup for TEIN SS, know a good install shop?

Sittin' pretty. I know someone with a very similar setup to yours, only his car is silver. And his wheels are 19''. Is it that similar after all? haha

By the way, if you decide to buy new wheels in the future, go with some 19'' Sevas S-Stars in gunmetal. Talk about making a statement.

YES. Much more like it. I personally think these are 2x better than the 19s you had at the Chicago meet last year.

Speaking of which...
