I'm in the exact same predicament except I'm on a budget since I'm saving up for moving. Those tsw's are damn expensive.

i like the wheels on your car CCA4, how much would a set like that be in good condition?
Fat fives would be cool as well, only to pull off those I'd definately need low!
I've been looking for a reasonably priced set of fat fives for like 2 years. I've only found two for less than a grand, and one was in California lol >_<

The wheels on my car are commonly referred to as "Celebrations" or "RS4's." Not sure which is more accurate. They came in 17" as part of the Celebration package offered on 2001 B5's, and in 18" on B5 the RS4. There's a banner ad on here for a website called OE wheels LLC, that seems to be the cheapest place to get them.

Buy swings for less than 100
Paint fun color
?????
profit.

IMO low is cooler than wheels. I went the other way around and definitely regret it.

Low + stock


Low + wheels


Im sure nick and alex have a few pics to dig up too

I love that rolling shot of Don's car. I still never did get the rolling shot of mine from that meet when Zach was out the sunroof at 80mph. I saw it on someone's laptop back in my garage and loved it and then never saw it again

Get some suspension before wheels. Vmr makes nice wheels but may be a TAD over your budget.

Not really necessary, you were a high schooler with dreams once too.
i'm sorry i was not born at an earlier time.
and is it really that bad for a 16 year old to have a 13 year old car?

anyway, here's a few pictures of my car.

(pictures were pre-headlights)
and notice the big half moon paint missing on the driverside front bumper. weird that the lower grille is missing in the same place.

I wish my car was that clean again... damn you winter weather!
