Default You mean the OEM 7-spoke sport wheels?

My sig pic is with the H&R sports.

Default yes those. thinking about picking up a set for an extra set of wheels. vwparts.com has them on sale

for $356 for all 4. I assume these are not replicas, they are pretty shartp for OEM wheels.

im sure the dial up users dont appreciate a long load time just to see a picture of a front girl each time...

Default sorry to hear that. I don't feel like seeing a list of mods you don't own. Turn sigs off in your

preferences if your panties are in a bunch.

Default I love the look of them, however...

They will not clear most upgraded brakes. So if that is a possible mod for you, then the Swing wheels wouldn't work. They'll fit over the A8 rotors with stock calipers, but anything more than that (Porsche calipers) require different wheels.

I am hoping to upgrade my brakes this seasons, and since I *do* love the style of the Swing wheels, I am planning on getting the Ronal R28 which is very similar. And also quite inexpensive in 16".

Cheers,
Peter
