^ I like them! Is it just the picture or is the clear reverse line brighter on the euro ones than the na ones?
I figured you'd be able to get the RS4 sides to fit if you wanted. http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/showthread.php?t=58941

Thanks for the compliments guys!

and B5owns, i'll probably be sellin the wheels at the end of this show season for $2300 with tires. tires are about 1000 miles, so virtually brand new.

Im not an aftermarket guy, but that car is SICK. I cant believe I would ever say this...but I like the tinted tails better with your paint. I think it completes the look better. I love this car. Great job man!

EUROPROJEKTZ: congrats on getting all that work done. It's definitely a sick ride.

Klum00: your ride looks pretty sick too.

The look of rear staggered wheels looks good, but you guys do realize this hurts handling, correct? RWD cars with big HP or heavy butts (think Porsche, AMG Benz) use staggered wheels, not just for looks, but to tame the rear end. Adding staggered rear wheels increases understeer. In a B5, that's not exactly desirable.

I understand both your cars are more show-oriented, but I just wanted to clear that up for anyone who is thinking about rear staggered wheels. Good for looks, bad for handling.
