« on: 06 March 2008, 10:23 »
Brakes and new coillies going on next week...
Question is rims... Looking at putting a s3 engine into the car. What size wheels and tyres would u recommend for the beast...

BBS splits, 16's. Maybe spray them black with a chrome lip. They look hotter than your best mates mum ;)
