i like the black rims. though they may look a little weird with the super small rotors.

Bro, a little to big on the wheel size man. I dont know, i think 18's fit better, maby a drop would make them look a little smaller. But none the less, nice ride.

I agree, everything would look better if you dropped it a few inches. Also you should look into the A8 big brake kit. See ImTheDevil's profile pics. Those would look mean behind the wheels. Good lookin ride!

Woohoo another Volcano Black (I think but this monitor at work sux so maybe its that) Looks alright needs at least a set of Sport lowering springs (H&R or Vogtland). I had some 19's but didn't keep them though thought they looked a little big and the fact that tires were 500 for a set was a major turn off. I do wish I could have kept them as the style of the ones I had I loved.

Looks good, and yes a drop would make it look better. I'd say keep the rings silver so that there is at least some contrast on there.

Colorado ftmfw! I'm also a Nitro rider, on my 3rd deck from them. Currently on an '09 T1 159.

Nice. Where do you ride? You can find me in Keystone on Sundays and the random weekday here and there and when I'm feeling froggy I'll make the drive to Vail.

The general consensus is that 19s are too big for B5s but if you like them thats all that matters since you've got pay for the car, make it look how you want. Just no neons and wings lol. Ive got some billys and H&R springs that I'm waiting for spring to slap on, definitely gotta drive more careful when lowered with our shitty *** roads.
