Well first i gotta say....this site is awesome. I was sent here by a buddy of mine, he told me to check this isht out. Good stuff. Here is my ride. Some may recognize it, most will not.
It needs work for sure i.e. spacers in the front and smaller tires in the rear. This will happen as soon as i get the wheels off for a refinishing.
Here is how it looked prior. I miss these wheels. Sorry for the small pics these are all that i have on this computer.

Thanks dude. Yeah lower for sure, When i took off the Audi wheels I had to raise it up by putting the rear perches back on and putting back in one of the front adjusters. The raer tires sat on the fender. But as soon as i get new tires its back to the norm.

Totally better then black, that was the first mistake i made was paintin them black, before they were silver. should have never changed it up. Makes em look drab as hell.

Looked good before, but I think the steelies will look pretty sick once you have them painted/new tires.
