That being said, and due to the fact that I got wrapped up in my last post, I forgot to say - those are damn nice wheels - some of the nicest, cleanest ones I've seen in quite awhile. I've always been a five-spoke fan, and have been seriously considering a mesh-style wheel for this car, but those have reminded me why I love fivers so much. A+ for your taste in rims

 

If you like that, then you'll love my toy. It's a 1992 Toyota MR2 Turbo. It's been through a few different engine changes, and is currently on a jdm gen3 motor with GT28RS and all the bolt-ons. In the MR2 community, that's a very SMALL turbo, but I like her. She's making 290whp @ 15psi at the moment and weighs 2900lbs.

Anyway, I have 18" wheels on the back and 17" on the front of this car. 255/35/18's in the back and I've never had issues bending/cracking a wheel. The roads here SUCK. I also have a civic with cheap 17" wheels and 205/40/17's and never had any problems with wheel failures or tire blow-outs. I really want this next daily driver to ride well, though. Can you link me to some pics of B6's on 18's with a lip? I'm curious to see. I've been all over a4mods.com, but they don't tell you what size rims are in the pictures.

Here's a pic or three of my MR2:




And my current DD - a 2000 Civic Hatch (with a GSR motor swap). Fun, but too boy-racer for me, looking for something more my age (30)

 

Tork ftw I just bought a set of staggerd 18" imagines to put on my 2000 avant.

 

so you went with the imagines afterall. are they still on backorder?

 

Nope they did have a pair of 8" and a pair of 9" so I just went staggered just gonna have to deal with the understeer

 

hm, those dont actually look too bad.. very ottinger re/rz ish
and i thought the 19lbs my 17" celebrations was bad

 

did you get them from wheelsnext for 1299? cuz wheelfire has them for 840 and it says you can get them staggered too http://www.wheelfire.com/scontent/Wh...amp;CheckFit=1
