In response to Panda, I am not sure if they will clear the BBK. I think the stock width of my wheels now are 7.5 and this are .5 bigger, so its possible (but it would be close). However, I know that 8.5 clears. And for Turbo i3uddah, my other mods include Remus axel-back dual exhaust with turbo design tips, 35%/20% tint, Magellan GPS, and Eibach Prokit lowering springs (sport suspension from Audi - pretty sure same kit).

no unless ur offset and wheel design are off they wont clear BBKs, it dont matter the width or size of the wheels most of the time

they are called wheels not rims

I think the point Jeff was making is that wheels are the sum of parts, it would suck to just get rims because then you would have no spokes or hubs. And it would be difficult to attach your rims to the car without a hub and some kind of spoke to attach hub to rim. If you used your current spokes and hubs, it would be kind of "hokey" and some welded together mess. Better to leave the welding/ molding to the professionals and get whole wheels.

Happy future use of the proper vocabulary, and remember, only off road guys get new rims, because it is cheaper to have an interchangable rim than replace the whole wheel assembly when it gets bent.

high polish. Almost the same as chrome, but a little sportier looking because it is not quite as shiny.
