    candy white, lowered, 20" audi reps, what do you think?

    12-29-2011 02:18 AM #1
    Hey guys, new to the forum. Just got my passat 2 weeks ago. Wanted to know what you think? Car was just lowered yesterday, so it should settle some more.



    Wheels - A8 reps 20 x 8.5 et42
    Tires - Kuhmo Ectsa 4x 245/35/20
    Springs - H&R's

    No rubbing at all...

    Looks very nice!!! Those were actually the wheels I was thinking about. This car was made to wear 20" wheels.

    Very nice! Been lurking around and joined just to ask you some questions! haha (would've registered sooner or later though)

    How is the ride with the drop and rims compared to stock? My current ride is dropped with springs only, and the ride is harsh...especially with people in the car. I can feel every bump and driving over rough roads and speed humps is not enjoyable. I would want my car to look good, but don't want to compromise ride quality as it's a daily driver.

    Also, where did you order your wheels from?

    You are always going to lose ride quality when you lower the car and when you ride on a low profile tire. But for being a lowered car, with 35 series tires, the ride is excellent. I haven't had a car without wheels since 1999 and this is one of the better riding ones. As far as the wheels, my buddy at wheels boutique 2 in Miami got them for me.

    Thanks

    They are actually the original ones, just had to slightly modify them, they were a little loose. A little heat and some slight bending of the tabs, and they are a perfect fit.

    which H&R springs did you install, the 1.5" or the 2.5"? i think the lower 2.5s are called SS but i'm not sure.
    thanks, rick
