Default I'm dying for new wheels......

I'd sell my soul for a set of 17" S4 wheels with tires for my 98 1.8T....how much ya think I could get these for used or new? (in terms of dollars, not my soul.) I'm trying to do wheels, tires and suspension for around $1000....i know thats an optimistic figure

wheels with kumho tires, and buy a used
sports suspension?

Default yeah just save some cash....and do it right later. S4 wheels and tires

if bought used off someone will run about 700 - 800 alone.(trust me on this one) A decent suspension is 700 bare minimum, that's for shocks and springs, coilovers around 1000 at the cheapest. If you piece meal out shocks one at a time for about 100 and some change each then it won't be so painful. then you save a little longer and get springs for like 250 ish plus shipping. Then you have a suspension, wheels and tires...

Default still rough..he'll have to end up settling. i would do one at a time

get the suspension now. maybe 5-700 bucks. then start saving again. even used wheels WITH tires aren't gonna be cheap.

I wouldn't go cheap on suspension, stock rims can look good when the car is lowered
