Another Introduction

[Audiquattro337]

lol yeah this one goes off for me, the only thing that doesn't work is the laser I guess. I really can't complain since it's just a handmedown my parents got a 9500x and so far they love it

nice nice, yeah thats how it was for me. i wanna get some crazy one some day, spend a few hundred on a crazy one

[crazexr7]

yeah I hear ya. I really want to get a v1 but no way I can afford it lol, this will do the job though, anything is better than nothing.


well since my shift knob was pretty nasty looking (The black leather started turning green around where I usually grip it), I was telling my dad that I'd probably buy a new one, he then suggests I just use some shoe cleaner on it to make it look brand new again. Couldn't believe how well it worked.

used this stuff I got from walmart a long time ago:


And ended up doing the shift knob and boot, and it looks practically new. Everything is black now no more green one some parts and everything looks great:

well there goes my plans of buying HIDs with my tax return money. Instead I just bought my first wheels for the car

Here are said wheels:

A8 17s for hundred bucks?? That is a good deal. Whats your idea on refinishing?

no idea what I'm going to do but they won't be black like I have now . I'll have to see what they look like first ik one has bad curb rash. My dad has a paint sprayer at my grandpas so I'm thinking I might pick up some stock looking paint or one of those silver wheel paint from autozone or something and go over it with the spray gun. Either way I'm stoked to get them.

[crazexr7]

anyone have any tire suggestions? I was thinking 205 45 17 like this:

[NeedingAnAudi]

255/40. Do it.

[crazexr7]

Hmmm those are meaty. still not sure what to get those look good though

[memo!]

225/45 or 245/40.

[crazexr7]

225 45 looks pretty good but I think I prefer the slightest stretch, and like the 205 45 the best. I just need to find a set on the cheap and wait to start my summer job again to get tires

[crazexr7]

these are the same wheels on a b5 with 225 45

decisions decisions.... I was thinking going 215 45 instead

[crazexr7]

my wheels have arrived


It's raining out now, but I'll test fit them either later today or tomorrow if it stops raining. The tires are surprisingly a little good. I may be able to use them for a little while. one wheel has pretty bad curb rash though and it ruined the lip, won't be able to do much to fix it I don't think

[aledelic42]

I still want a set of those. good pick up

[NeedingAnAudi]

I think you should just pick up a 5th one, and keep the rash one as a spare

[crazexr7]

thanks yeah I'm extremely happy with the price I paid for them. And yeah I'm probably going to try and source one sometime from the classifieds or ebay if they ever pop up. They sell them individually on ebay for 145 shipped but they're replica wheels and I don't know how the quality is

[crazexr7]

sorry for the pic whoring

Tires are so fat the control arm doesn't clear. If I had an extra couple mm's I'd be able to clear it but these are not the tires for me.

[crazexr7]

maybe now that I found out my parents are getting the driveway repaved?

[NeedingAnAudi]

^^Do it.

What size are you tires and what are the specs on the 17s?

[MarcMiller]

Looks so clean man.

[crazexr7]

17x8 et48 with 245/45s

Looks so clean man.

Thanks dude! I already love them can't wait to get proper tires and more lowz now.

[jmullen324]

17x8 et48 with 245/45s


Thanks dude! I already love them can't wait to get proper tires and more lowz now.

I had the same setup last year size wise anyway. Those tires look absolutely massive on 17x8. Can't wait to get some stretch next summer. Car looks nice

Haha I agree, the wheels are huge! And thanks, right there with you.

[CoopaCoopaCoopa]

Maybe 205/45?

[crazexr7]

Maybe 205/45?

I think I've narrowed it down to two tires I want to get. It's either 205/45 or 215/45 but it's probably going to be whatever I can find for the best price. I'll be happy with either though

[crazexr7]

[tiopedro]
