Yu wants winter wheels (hence my title). He said if I hook him up with a good set I get his H&R race springs. So I'm trying my *** off lol. Used is the only way for the price he wants. I can probably get him 17" celebrations and tires for them but I can only find them he has to get them.

He was supposed to respond to the thread but he's evidentally in NYC

i'm back lol. older stock wheels will not fit the b8 because the hub is 66mm now instead of the usual 57.1.

ok how about you find me a set of used alloy wheels in near new condition, or you can refinish them and clear them, and mounted with those winterforce tires? come on now, go borrow your dad's shotgun and point it at somebody lol

^ Why don't you just use your stock wheels you have and save the money for the baller wheels?
