Those are good wheels. The tires are cheap and the main thing that would keep me away from a fitment like that is the sizes. It's really going to be a lateral performance move. The car will look a bit better, the offset should fill the fenders a little more but you're really not getting any added contact patch and the look isn't going to be substantially different. You could run these without lowering the car and it would still look fine though.

I just bought some goodies. I'm not gona kiss n tell either.....Let's just say I finally got the bling that the GPW deserves.

Also, a trip to the Urologist is the worst thing ever. Stay healthy folks....no one should have to go through what I did today.

Jason,

Please explain that part - the rest I understand. I am obviously going for cosmetics, the rarerity (I don't see any cars w/volks on them when I look out my window around here ) & appearance of these wheels & the fact that they have tires on them is why I have zeroed in on this particular offering...

Vad - I'd say go for the wheels. You're not a huge track or mtn run whore anyway.

With those wheels Vad you're only really picking up a 255 in the back compared to your current 245. You'd also pick up a wider stance.

These are added benefits but there's also the weight factor that would cancel out any of these small gains.....it wont hurt your ride but I wouldnt expect the car to feel like superman either.


Agree Jason ?
