Default 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.

Default Lol that's nothing

There are people who invest much, much more into their cars. Like upwards of $20k. Into a B6 A4 lol. But it is a slippery slope. Just enjoy it

Default 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.

Default Invest?

Ha!

I guess it is like the stock market. Buy and watch values go down...

Default 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.

Default 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.
