Default Hells yeah! BTW, how are the RS4 rims treatin ya?

I'm still debating which rims I want to get in the Spring. I'm in the middle of a few projects at the moment, but I should still have some extra money to pick up a new set. Problem is that I don't like many rims in 19" (the RS4 wheels are one of the exceptions.)

Default Pretty good, unfortunately I'm on the winter 16's for now :( But

in regard the 19" wheels, I never really wanted to go that big... But it looked hawt when my local shop offered to test-fit them for sh*ts and giggles. They didn't come off after the test-fit lol! You've got teh sweet fender flares, so I'd definitely get a wheel with some lippage imho!

Default Yeah.. I still like these, but 19's with a big lip look like 17's from a distance >

There are 2 great things about these rims though: they're $217 a piece, and they "only" weigh 24lbs.

Default Here's what they would look like on my car (Photoshop courtesy of DD.)

Default Those look pretty good! I think your car would definitely look good with an

anthracite, hyper-black (like mine) or darker wheel. I had a forest green Integra that looked great with black wheels and a polished lip! Light-weight ftw!

Default If I do go with the RS4's, I'd buy the same color as you (or slightly lighter.)

I do like black wheels on some dark cars. But I think I'd prefer lighter wheels on my 4.2

Default Yeah personal preference... I like the fact that my wheels look different

(color-wise) depending on the light.

Default Step away from the chocolate and nobody gets hurt. I really like the mint special

chocolates that come around at this time. Probably just was well they don't offer them year 'round.

Default I eat everything in sight. Wish some of it would stick. Nothing stronger than

a beer for me.

Default

So did you just install K04's, or did you do a complete Stg III kit?
