Assuming I keep the A4...
Flik Artics - in an 18" bundle w/ Kumho's from ER I'll have plenty of $ for suspension this summer. The Wasps are nice too in anthracite, but I'm not feeling the fake 3-piece look w/ the bolts around the edge. STFA but no pics, assume nobody's bought these yet. Anyone wanna photoshop?
Here's a boring silver A4

Default the thing I don't understand about edgeracing...

is their crazy widths... like 17x7s, 18x7.5 18x8.5 (wiiide! probably going to mean rolling fenders)

whatever happened to normal widths like 17x7.5 and 18x8?

Default artic are 18x8.5 21 lbs....Wasps are 18x7.5 19 lbs

I don't mind the fake 3 piece look inthis wheel. 225/40/18 will work fine with 7.5" wide wheels.

hmmm, 18x8.5" width would require fender rolling?

Default why does tirerack default to 225/40 for 18x8.5", shouldn't that be 235/40?...

on my 17x7.5, i'm running 225/45. by adding another inch, they think i should have the same width tire? huh?
