Disclaimer: The car wash is a week old and there's pollen all over the car. The front end is beat up with bugs too. And yes, I know, I need painted lowers.

I like the way they turned out. The wheels stick out a bit more and are flush with the outer edge of the wheelwell. Bigger front brakes are on their way too.

Question on centre Caps: Sportec or Audi? I'm leaning toward Audi. Thoughts?

;o)

Keep the Sportec caps. They aren't Audi wheels.

It's time for me to start doing my own detailing. Between my two cars and my parents two cars, I think I'll have enough work to go around.

sportec caps...you don't want people to think it's one of those cheap flik wheels!

One of the spokes already says Sportec on it, which I wish it didn't, but oh well. But a spoke and a centre cap? I dunno.

Was going to ask you how to use the thing. :)

Looking good sir!

Arob is my lookout.

Since Arob now has access to my house. :P

Had to work all f'ng weekend.

Hopefully that makes you feel better about having to work this entire weekend. Heh.

But, I'm back to the office on Tuesday, that's when my new client engagement starts up.

I sat down and made a list of mods for this year on the car. Yeah, it's going to run me about 7500 and thats w/o BBK. Most expensive is the DP and Stasis/Ohlins suspension.

But I'm sure you'll enjoy every dollar spent.

Good night.

I used swing wheel centercaps and ground them down to fit the center hole... then hand sanded and polished them to a gleaming finish.

I know we talked about sways at the track. I thought you mentioned wanting to go with upgraded brakes too. If you want to part with your stock setup, you can consider them sold.

I've been looking for an excuse to buy a dremel lately.

just watch, Rob will be #1 again this year.

Foiled! :oT

gives a little more tactile control

i love it so much i have 2 of them!

I vote for the polished Audi caps, even if you lose some knuckle skin while hand filing :)

Hopefully you'll get some good life out of the Contis.

Are they 18"? Hmmm more wheels I can swap in the middle of the night. hehe

I just saw Jim's wheels in person and was struck with deja vous. :P Damn they look good!! :D

.... a new suspension! LOL... looks great Jim. Worth the wait.

I was about to keel over Sat. evening. You wouldn't believe how sore my back was the next day. Too much bending.....time to invest in a lift!

Actually technically I'm not stealing them. I replacing them for the same with optional curb rash. Well dependes if they are worst than mine then I won't go through the trouble. ;-P

he's gotta be big to balance the ride height!

but his girlfriend is!!!
