Upgrade to 18's?

[slappy]

I would really like to find a set of rs4's or the gli bbs wheels. Now I just located a set of aristo's like on the r32. What would you go with?

I think the aristos are the sickest wheels you could have on a VW, but thats just me

[Pssst...passed you]

Aristos are nice.


They are a B*tch to clean though....if you are running a high dust brakepad, you will hate them....so many spokes, soooo much time to clean.


I would rock them though. Wheels are like a staircase, once you have a lower priced set, you can sell them and only add a few bucks to get better set, then sell them and add a few bucks and you have a better set, etc, etc, etc....then you are a wheel whore.

I wanted aristos and I run track pads which catch lots of dust (thank god for eagle one wheel cleaner) so I said screw that. They look nice though.

Also, I'm a wheel slut, not a wheel whore

Cody, what are you running now? Still thr rs4's? I found a set of 5 Aristo's for $700.

Well, the wife and I are taking a trip instead of me buying wheels right now. I need a vaction anyway. So, here is the link for the 18" Aristos if anyone is interested. The guy still has them.

It's a day drive for you to come up to the Reading, Pa area and home. 5hrs up and you get the wheels. Your home the same day. Thats if your interested in the wheels.

True. $700 is a good price too. I'm really debating which to do first; coilovers or wheels. Anyone have suggestions? I've only got about $800 to work with atm

I would do the wheels first. I think it is a great price. Coilovers will always be available. A complete set of wheels/tires for $700 will not. Maybe you could find a better deal later but thats not now.
