Heres mine:
1. Sell the wheels and but something more quality, every ricer rolls on those white motegis
2. Drop the car if you are going to run aftermarket wheels with low pro tires on it

ricer?

no, i am no ricer... i cant help that i like the wheels, even if they look "ricer"

second, i am waiting to do coilovers until i get done with this semester and can get back home to my shop... its not a very easy job to do in the parking lot with no tools...

third, this car is far from ricer, (not doing a BK) when it gets to oregon, its getting new paint, a smallish race port, and just about everything else you can think of... gonna be a N/a drift machine!

They look better than the stock wheels...I have no idea why people get cheap ugly *** aftermarket wheels when the stock S5 TII wheels and the Vert BBS's look better than most of them. They're also usually lighter and wide enough to have a good tire selection.

Werd Stock TII FTMFW. 16X7 plenty wide enough for a NA. and if you got them powercoated in the end they would look better and be more functional.

wheels just have a bad rep..the civics/accords own those wheels..was actually starting to think they might start coming from the factory with them because there every where.

those wheels are yuck and the wheel gap needs to be fixed. take the rims off and run stock until you get nice looking rims and a drop.

You should save for a paint job first...



no offense.
