Default #$#@$%

Just when I was about to pull the trigger someone makes me take 2 steps back and rethink the whole damn thing... Just because of 1 !@#$!$ word. I hate that word and hate that look. I am 2 old for rice. However I do not want something that everyone has or a look like everyone else.

Figured these are a new rim that I haven't seen and I like black but all black doesn't show up much on a dark blue car but the silver/black would...

I wish I had more money and I would go with the plan I had like a year ago with Axis Penta but they are 2 times the cost of the other rims and I am already pushing it with getting any rims and not just replacing my tires.

So once again... Thanks for the input...

Just FYI. It's not a choice thing. You need them.

Default There are some good used sets on VWVortex

You can get something good there, probably some Axis Penta's in your price range.

Those wheels are kinda rice though, sorry to say. Stick with the better wheel brands, and no one will have anything to say

Default It either needs them or it doesn't.

If the center bore of the wheel is >57.1mm it needs them.

IMO save your money for suspension and spacers and i promise you'll fall in love with those wheels.
