Looks great man. All it needs now is lowering suspension. What wheels are those?

IMO the car needs to be lowered. Otherwise it looks great!

Thanks Eric, They are 18" Avus AF-501's. 18x9 front, 18x11.5 rear. Michelin PS2's naturally. The car will be back Monday for the PSS9's and a Stage 4GT package. He wants to pimp it for the weekend though.

Looks great but you need to be a sponsor of 6speed to keep your dealerships name in your signiature and user name - not fair to the paying dealerships who support this place


PS - lower the car and put on 19's

Nice car Bert!

If you really are looking for feedback on the wheels......I'd paint the center caps to color and as had been mentioned, look into lowering, and 19s are not necessary (IMHO), though my street turbo wheels are 19s, I probably would not do it again.........anyway, to give you an idea of look, here's the wife's C4 with 547 HREs.....on that car I went w/traditional rims rather than straight lip.

What kind of offset are you running on those wheels?
Enjoy your car
