Need tires for the rear, so I'm thinking of getting 18" Flik Artics while I'm at it...

Edge Racing has them on sale (again) right now, so I might be getting them in a week or so. I really want to get the 5Zigen Fn-01r-c rims in bronze, but they're out of my budget. Opinions? Should I look at something else perhaps? The budget is limited to what the Artics with ok tires will cost.

Default that's how I ended up with the Wasps...

I needed tires, and bought wheels with them. I went with the Wasp because I liked the look better and if you aren't running wider tires, you don't need the wider (and heavier) artics.

Default I've got 17" Flik Artics and I love them. The polished lip is a pain to keep looking nice, but when

it's clean they look great, and 18# ain't bad for a 17" wheel. Especially at that price.

Default Definitely do a run down the classifieds on Vortex - some good deals on nice wheels there

go to both the VW and Audi sections. Some guys change their wheels more often than they change their underwear! ;-)
