Nope. Those are some OEM 4x114.3 wheels from another car.. probably a ford or something. The base model S4 FC rims were the cheese wheels.

I see. In Icemark's options list sticky, it lists a 14" steel wheel as standard on the base model. Making the 14" aluminum phone dial/cheese wheels the optional one. Just curious about stupid stuff like that. I thought you pulled out of some forgotten corner of Rotorsport.

I saw a blue FC vert with a TII hood and what appeared to be RX8 wheels in Hayward (Santa Clara and Jackson) the other day.

Hmm.. I honestly have never seen steel wheels on an FC before. Every 4 lug base I have seen had the phone dial rims. Now I am curious as to what the steel wheels look like, if they even exist lol. When I bought that car from Paul at Rotorsport, I asked him about the rims, he said it had the steel rims because he took the phone dials off to sell them and that the steelies weren't oem, but he wasn't sure what car they came from.

Now I am curious! You jerk!!! :P

Nice. I'm jelly. What color 7 does she drive?
I see a silver one every once in a while, usually on lawrence expy near 280 in the afternoon. Definitely a dude driving it, though. LoL.

If you see a Montego Blue beater FD in the south bay, it's probably me.

Is it an S4 N/A. I just saw one in the east bay. I waved as I passed and he chased me down. He was a super cool and super old dude.
