As for side skirts, some people don't bother getting those as they just paint the lower part of the car. If you want to get sideskirts, I would suggest the S4 as they would fit beautifully with the stock front and rear. However, if you plan on going with aftermarket front and rear, perhaps you should also go with aftermarket sideskits as aftermarket kit tend to go lower than the S4 skirts.

How about slam the car with Bentley wheels?
That Passat is so fly, I would get those if i could find them for under 2 grand haha. But about the side skirts, what I have are just black rounded and exposed rocker panels...I can't really see them looking good painted, but the front and rear lowers i can see looking amazing. The only option i could see is buying OEM a4 or s4 side skirts and painting them.

Get suspension before new wheels. I'll be rockin the stock 5 spoke 16s and pretty low for a while and I like the look of it. Also, I personally would not paint the lowers. I think they look more clean and simple how they are. It's too pricey to have it perfectly matched anyway.

I actually plan on going lower and getting wheels at the same time. I do actually like my stock 5 spokes when I mange to keep them clean, but I want a different look, I get bored so fast....

How much money are you planning on spending on wheels/tires/suspension?



There's a picture of my car with those wheels for reference. I'm on V-MAXX's.

The_Mexican's a4 is pearl white and A4_Effort's a4 is some other white, i think its Casablanca not sure tho, Silver rims look so much better with that brighter white....ugh I wish I wasn't so picky....

Well, I was planning on going with a used s4 suspension which I could get for under 350 or the most expensive option get Blisten shocks with H&R springs which would be around 750. I already ruled out coilovers as being too expensive(I know its worth it haha)

As far as wheels around 500 to 800, But would fork out more if something really got a hold of me....

How do you like the Vmaxx? I see they go low as hell haha, how's the performance? Hows the side to side roll during cornering and the front to back pitch with launches? I honestly more concerned with handling than the low low look, contemplating s4 sways.......

This is funny because when I thought of rim colors, your picture album popped into my head, I was about to PM you about it haha. Do you have any more pics other than the album?
