more cool wheel
« on: April 23, 2006, 11:50:32 AM »
if I had an MK3 and I was in the market for wheels i'd get me these guys here.

they are Bugattis which were oem except these are 17's and multi piece and i've never seen another set before.  Talk about super oem plus.

they are corvette fitment but with ET40 and 8 inchs wide you can adapt them no problem.

Well I thought they were cool. I'm not feeling the gold, but that isn't difficult to fix.

I'd be VERY interested, but I question how they'd look on the A4.  Plus, I do not have the knowledge to know what I'd need in terms of adapters and such.

1. purchase wheels
2. purchase 20mm adapters
3. enjoy wheels
4. probably going to poke on the front a little bit
5. enjoy wheels

If I were to drop $525 on these wheels, I would...
remove the gold
polish the lips
clear coat the lips so I don't have to pull a Lindsey
send off the centers to have them powder coated or painted to something cool that would accentuate my funky car color (is that even possible?  It looks like the lips are riveted to the centers)

I would have to get custom adapters manufactured.  I wouldn't know whether they would clear my brakes (or the A8 front swap that is supposed to happen when I get the extra money).  Or more importantly, how far would they stick out after spacers?  Nate's stance is perfect and I would not want to go wider then that.  So, fire back guys.  You have to realize that I am a 100% n00b when it comes to this stuff.  A lot of your knowledge has been picked up over time, but I have only been in the VAG scene for 5 months.

Saying I had the pennies, would this be a good investment?  If you guys think it's a decent idea and would look good, give the word and I'll make an effort to get these to my front door.

Nick to be honest I woldnt' put these on your car.  For lots of reasons, one being 17's are too small if you are gonn buy new wheels.

These are PERFECT for a cheap set of fucking stunners on an MK3 tho, and who give a fuck about the gold you change that duh.

I like them an I think if you polished them up to look like mirrors, keeping the gold and put them on like a white or black car where they would provide a good contrast it would be freaking awesome. I'm surprised Josh hasn't chop'd them up already. Hook it up man.
