RE: modding questions

You would...
Seriously.

1/4 mile I'd put $100 on you.
Autocross I'd bet my life savings on it (which is less than the $100, but you get the point).

I put 18's on my turbo miata, and between the extra weight and the gearing difference from having bigger wheels (the overall diameter was much larger than the stock 14's) the car felt slower than when it was NA.

I'd imagine the extra weight and size of the spinners would do the same.

Well I just got a 2004 Audi TT 3.2 Quattro Coupe. I like it alot, but I am looking into putting spinning wheels on it. some people find it's tacky, and so do I, if it's on a car that doesnt deserve spinning wheels (I saw a cavalier with them the other day). I like the look of them, and on a classy vehicle they are sick. I was unable to find spinning wheels for the Audi though. I have a 225/40R18 tire, so I need 18" wheels and it just seems that spinning wheels arent made for this model.

Does anyone have any idea where I can get spinning wheels, and approximately how much they'd be?

Dude are you for real? please send me your car (I live in NY) before the police arrest you for vehicle molestation and you get a life sentence. Maybe you should purchase one ofthese cars instead http://www.ginetx.net/~tsarbin/funny/ricer-max.jpgor http://asdaa.net/mag/5ra2eb/car2/normal_ricer.jpg. I thinkthese carsare unique and would suit your needs better. I think its perfect for you, because it probably already has spinning wheels. Let me know if you are selling your car (pm me).
