Wheels

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/29714/a.jpg"></center><p>Purchased some Moda / Radius R6 s. Yokahama AVS 245/45 R18 tyres. Results - tiny reduction ride quality, slight increase in tramlining and aquaplaning, BIG improvement in roadholding and most importantly huge improvements in feedback from the tyres. If you are wavering about goung for 18" - don't. The car finally handles the way it should, and unless you do serious off roading ( and without the low-ratio option thats difficult) I can't see a downside. Plan to fit proper winter tyres to my old 17" wheels. (Cost £1500 roughly $2250) but then everything in Europe costs more than in the USA !!

Of course, if that was the stock wheel...

we would put the current stock wheel on display in this forum and oooooh and aaaaaah over it. It comes down to the fact, we love to individualize our cars and once it is "perfected", MOVE ON. Hell, no wonder we can't stay married.
