Pics of my new wheels
Just got them on today and snapped a few pics. They are take offs from an 05 turbo. I wasnt sure if I would like them but now that they are on, I am loving them.
What do you all think??

Would I need different lugnuts then?
Is this a common thing to do?

They look beautiful! Great choice.

Thx,
So, are the spacers mainly for a more agressive look or do they affect handling?

I would say mostly for looks, but it does widen up the track of the car, bottom line is you will notice them visually, not handling wise IMO!

Where's the best and cheapest place to get them? Will the stock lug bolts work?
