Lol, sorry don't plan on getting rid of it
Thanks, and I picked up some 17x8 and 17x9 Super Advans. The lips are being refinished right now, and the center pieces are going in this weekend to be powder coated black. They should be on within a couple of weeks

You can sort of see what difference aftermarket wheels, etc do to help out in that pic.
Your car looks incredible! Keep up the good work!

Time for an update and some pics. The wheels are finally starting to come together. Barrel's have been refinished and straightened, the center pieces have been re-painted:
Before:
After:
The 40 bolts that hold the 2 pieces together were nasty. So instead of buying new bolts that wont look nearly as good decided to buy a Dremel tool and fix them up myself, figured why not save money, keep the right style bolts, and get a Dremel out of it as well
Should have the other 3 wheels together by the end of this week with tires and spacers soon to follow.
Some random pictures taken today

cant wait to see it with the advans. Should look very classy with the oldschool wheels.
im affraid to take apart multipiece wheels, i suppose none of the bolts snapped on you which is good, i have heard of people breaking one or 2 and dont know where to find a replacement.

It was too cloudy to have the top down, plus I do not have many pictures with the top up so figured this would be a good opportunity. Thanks for the comments, still have a couple of finishing touches (shortening the wheel studs and new lug nuts - thinking some Neo Chro's) and then on to the next part.
Next i'll be finishing off the body with some side skirts (thinking Spec-RE Sidesteps from SAP), new mirrors (toss up between jdm folding mirrors or Craftsquare door panel mirrors) and still trying to figure out what to do with the front. I like the S4 bumper and I wanna keep the S4 moldings, but there are only a couple of lips available for the S4 bumper and I don't like any that I have seen so far.
I could go with a half bumper, but not sure if any are available for an S4 bumper (haven't researched yet) and not sure if I like the S5 half bumper on an S4, the pop-rivets bother me. I could go with an aftermarket bumper and try painting the moldings but eh, doesn't look quite right. Any suggestions would be appreciated, i'm stuck
