Default My New Rims - Opinions Please

Okay, so finally I started modding the exterior of my '99 A4. Tail lights, 20% window tint, and today I purchased my wheels I went with Lorenzo WL 21 18x8's with 225/40-18 tires. They are getting installed tomorrow around 10am EST so I will put some pics of them on the car up tomorrow. Here is what they look like and my buddy gave me a smokin deal on them! Nobody could even touch the price he gave me. If you need wheels hit me up and I can give you his number. I gaurantee you won't find a better price on new rims and tires anywhere unless you are a dealer (even on Flea-Bay). Let me know what you think of the look please. All opinions welcome, positive or negative.

Thanks,

Cam

No opinions? I am getting her lowered in two weeks so that should make her look a little better too.

Agreed on the display pic and lowering. I'm in Dayton Ohio but he ships anywhere in the US. www.uniqueautotrenz.com

i like the overall look, but it looks to me like he used tires that are just a little narrow.... anyone else see that or is it just me?

Thank you! I think it's just the way the tires are made. I didn't get a real good brand name tire. They are Corsa, personally I have never heard of them but for $53.00/tire and they are ZR rated I told him to put those on instead of paying twice the price for a better known name. The place he ordered the tires from said they have had no complaints so I told him to go for it. The rims are 18x8's and the tires are 225/40-18. I see what you are saying but I think it is just the way the tire is constructed but I could be wrong? They have a small lip on the edges that make them look that way I think. The lip on the tires actually stick out farther than the rims. I took some more pics closer up so you could get a better look. I will have to wait until I get home from work to upload them though.
