FYI
if you slam a passat you put the car out of balance and create axle problems. you WILL be replacing axles once a year if you "slam" your passat. 18's look sooo stupid go 17 or 16. look on Ebay for good deals on headlights and tail lights

I have 18's on my jetta and they look great, and my friend had 18's on his passat went to 17's then decided he wanted 18's again. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it looks stupid. 16's on a B5 is stupid

Hmmm...I want to put RS4 18's maybe even 19's on my GLI! Is that gonna make it ugly?!?!haha

someone get ahold of some haterade
on vortex i saw quite a bit of people dropping their passats with out running into problems and i never heard of that before

[stealthpassat]

Ebay is a no no for headlights in my opinion or any parts to be honest.
Parts are made to be cheap and to be sold for cheap
learned from experience
but here is a picture of a passat with 18s and LOWERED

I was kinda thinkng about blacking it out with smoked out taillights tinted windows badgless grille and in the long run black rims probably 18"

Like I said black on black rims are overdone and look like steelies from far away

[stealthpassat]

some rs4 rims would look pretty good

Welcome aboard. Let me set you straight.
