Purchasing 18" wheels...
I'm going to a local shop this weekend to look at new wheels for my 2000 TT FWD. I'd like to put on some nice 18" wheels. I've got Koni Sport Struts with H&R Sport Springs. What types of measurements should I be looking out for when picking wheels? What are the stock measurements? I know nothing about what the numbers mean but willing to learn.

Have you ever looked at Edge Racing's website? Very cool stuff...>>>
The have some killer wheels for cheap, and they are good quality. They have tires too. YOu can bundle the package and save a ton of cash. Everything is mounted and balanced, shipped to your door. I am going to make a purchase again, and looking at Flik Wasp wheels for $119 each. Be careful to make sure you are getting the correct offset fitment. Pretty easy to figure out here. Just type in "wheel offset calculator' on your favorite search engine. Our stock fitment is 17x7.5 with a 32mm offset. You dont want a relly high number on the offset because it will force the wheel to close the the strut housing. If you go with say an 18x8 with a 33mm offset, then the wheel will tuck in only 7mm closer to the strut housing than would the stock wheel. That's only about a 1/4 inch. Good luck

I just bought a set of the Flik Lex from them. ... I am putting them on tomorrow
The wheels look really nice. I bought my tires from tirerack since edge racing did not have the Goodyear Eagle F1's. It would have been nice to have them bundled together.
