November 19, 200519 yr Author Congrats Mike1. Looks like you got a nice ride. How many miles?Take it easy on the ricy stuff and you'll be in good shape....and for the love of god DO NOT put on new wheels before lowering it! That's the most common/lame mistake I see.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> 57 miles
November 19, 200519 yr and no ricy stiff at all. i also took off all the emblems.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Keepin it clean, just how i like it
November 19, 200519 yr 1.8 turbo. and its pretty quick. but nah give me some time with it, it will look better. coilovers, rims. engin mods.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>do you hear the blowoff valve?**pshhhhhhhhhhh**i love that noise
November 19, 200519 yr and no ricy stiff at all. i also took off all the emblems.RespectableNot When I had my bug I did the same, had a ghost logo where there normally was one on the hood but all the trim and logo's must come off! I did the inside and out, but heck of a lot easier to mono-color an old one.
November 19, 200519 yr im thinkin theseI like the big air gaps and 5 spokes, what size are you going to go with?Where are you shopping? I need some 18's for my M next spring. Going to keep the 17's for snoshoes.

Going to keep the 17's for snoshoes.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> they are actually for bmw, http://www.beyernwheels.com/ i gotta see if they can fit my vw. i love them. i cant find another rim that looks and has the shape of them.
November 19, 200519 yr Regretably those are not going to work on your car then...Pretty hard to have RWD offset and FWD offset in the same rim and the schtuff that they make for bimmers won't have the FWD offset even possible. Definetely one weird thing Bm'er does is with the setup of their rims. Of course, for me I won't sacrifice any performance to go bigger. I need a real specific offset and less than 22lbs in an 18 or 19, tough to find if it ain't OEM or OEM knock-off (or of course absurdly expensive)
November 19, 200519 yr I've always been fond of BMW's choice in wheels. I am really keen on the new X5 20s. They are so elegant, yet subtle. I love it.
November 20, 200519 yr Author i thougth they might not fit, dang i love thoes wheels. you guys gotta help me find some rims .
