4rings, thanks for the info

vitamin, what is the width of your rims and tire size? Did you lowered it? If so by how much? Also, what is the purpose for the door blades?
I have 8.5 rims with a 38MM offset. Tires are 235/35's. The door blades are just for lookin' good :-)

yeah i wont lie, i dont know what model my car is. b6 or b5. but i have 20's on it, and i love them. granted u do have to watch out for every pothole and sewer cap, ive managed to do it and dont think ill be gettin any speeding tickets anytime soon. my tires and rims are TSW SLOT 20" RIMS with NANKANG 225/30ZR20 NS II, i think i possibly could have gone 235 w/o any rubbing issues but i think they are fine how they are, and they dont rub one bit. and the car still seems to haul *****. but pics are on my pro..

yea with the rubberbands of tires you would have to put on 20's you could tell whether you just ran over a filtered or non-filtered cigarette

20's will KILL your ride quality, especially if you have a performance suspension.

OMG, did you guys look at his profile?
The tires are so thin it looks like they're flat!
Personally, I don't care for them, but to each his own. Sicc.Steez, Your car is neither a b5 or b6.

i ridden on 20's for over a year now with no problems on my rims. For me the quality of my ride is still great and I'm riding on HR Sport Springs with Koni Sport Shocks. the width of the rims are 8.5 and i honestly couldn't be happier with them. But again, it's personal preference and at the end of the day you have to look at your ride and be happy with your choice. check out my gallery if you wanna see pics.

i love my rims. i have never been happier with them. i have ridden them all over town just about everynight and like i said u do have to be super careful but the car still has plenty of pull to it and the ride quality i have not noticed it be any different. i do agree with the tire size though, like i said above i wished or probably could have gone 235's on, but u get what u get and i wasnt too worried about changing them otherwise i would have, and besides i already drove off the lot with them on my car. i looked at them and was like "damn those are super tiny", but at the same time said "damn those are super sick". depends how u look at it i guess. except for these forums i have got nothing but compliments on them and it sits real pretty. so to each his own...
