Just did the math on my mod wishlist vs my B5...whoa!
List:
B5
18" Wheels and Tires
Borla Exhuast
STaSIS Street Sport Coilovers
----------------
$3.3K
B7
19" O.Z. Ultraleggeras w/ Tires
APR Exhaust
H&R Coilovers
-------------------------
$5.5K
Ouch, and that's being conservative with the suspension. Well I guess I gotta look at the bright side. At least it's not a Porsche I'm trying to upgrade.
I decided I'm gonna pull the trigger on the O.Z.'s this week. I just love the idea of shedding unsprung weight. Although I think my first mod should be a good Laser/Radar detector, almost got nabbed today.

This is "the slippery slope" of mods, downward and without end.....:P

Actually now that I think about it prices are pretty much the same. B7 = Dual Exhuast and everything
else is pretty much on par. I just want a different wheel than RS4 rep, but now I hear that OZ ULs are soft...argh.

Ramon...just a caution on those wheels......
They are light, but they are cast. A light casted wheel can not be that strong. Probably why the price is too good to be true for a wheel in that size and that weight.

Agreed, looking to work out a deal on a set of DPE R16's right now. Light and Forged.
I swear finding a good set of wheels keeps me up at night. I'm almost at the point of just throwing tires on the stocks...heh.
