A few things, it's 19" not 19'. You really should lower that thing. And lastly I am not feeling those wheels...at all.

[jimrobbington]

Don't worry so much as about how far to drop it, as how far it is from the fender to the ground. I have my front fender 25" from the ground, and the rear 25.25" from the ground. I would actually recommend going 1/2 and inch higher in the back to get the level look. Depending on the size tire you have, you could maybe go a little lower, but you would be sacrificing performance. Looks good tho!

I am placing my picture of the car as reference, not to thread jack.

[AudiTFSI3o3]

[xULx]

^ ^ Are you Chucky? Anyways Jim your wheels are still ballin'. your whole car looks legit [up] but we already knew that, didn't we?

[Drull]

don't like ((((

[jimrobbington]

Thanks! but I am not Chucky. My name's Jonathan.

[Chucky831]

I paid $2600 for wheels and tires

[xULx]

I like Jim better, but the original question was directed towards Chucky, not Jim, not even Jonathan. However, Jim decided to answer, lol.

[Chucky831]

That's funny because those are non chrome wheels, thanks for trying

[xULx]

What wheels are they?

[Chucky831]

19" 19' 19- you understood didn't you? And the question was about lowering not rather you like them or not... Thanks

[jimrobbington]

Sorry, been drinking a little tonight. Haha. I understand what happened now.

[jimrobbington]

They look like they protrude pretty far, et 32? is it more? Dont' listen to the guy who doesn;'t like the wheels. Someone always has to say they don't like something.

[Chucky831]

Hennesseys'

[Chucky831]

I like your wheels. I had similar wheels on my old 2004 A4 but I wanted to try something different this time

[xULx]

Thats what I thought. They shined up pretty nice after cleaning them, confused the others, lol. From what I can see more like 1.5 R to 2 dare I say 2.5 F. Shit is pretty high. you got some reverse rake going there

[Quattro]

different :D

they look bigger than 19"s

[xULx]

Dont' listen to the guy who doesn;'t like the wheels. Someone always has to say they don't like something.

BTW Chucky, Jim is absolutely correct, just read my Sig.

[fatbrembos]

drop it dude! and chrome... not really me but looks good

[Greedo]

It's a machined face! (he doesn't like them being called chrome)

[Chucky831]

Yea I agree. It's like either answer the question or don't comment. I'm here trying to get some good input; go bash somewhere else

[Chucky831]

Ya I tried going different on this car. Only looks bigger cause I need to lower the damn thing

[Chucky831]

Yea tell me about it. I haven't had time off of work and I wanted to see how the car looked once the wheels were on so to better feel how much I would have to lower it.

[Chucky831]

It's a machined face! (he doesn't like them being called chrome)

You win! You happy? Hate my wheels so much that you stay on this thread that much?

[xULx]

Anyways guys, relax. GL with your decision, let us know if you need more assistance.

I spot a rim job by rimjob [XD]

Hummer? Wth are you talking about? Anyhow your entitled to your opinion. I was here to ask about how low should I drop my car, not asking if you liked my wheels or not.

sorry. If i were you I'd go with coilovers. You can adjust them yourself, and that way you get to choose exactly how you want the car to sit

[Chucky831]

Thanks man. I will be lowering it hopefully by next week and getting my Stage 2 Revo once I decide what exhaust to get. I'm trying to make up my mind between the Quad pipes or the Stasis. Kinda stuck on that one. I'm trying to get it all done at the same time by next week; I'm kinda short on free time nowadays

[S4 Big Head]

Will look damn good dropped [up]

Nice, I think that's what I needed to see. Will definitely drop it asap. Thanks

[tjsingh]

Yeah man...It looks wayyy better dropped. DO IT!

[arce909]

Not digging those wheels... But it looks good.... NOW DROP THAT SHIT!!!!!!

[porkchops!]

can't really tell, but it looks like your tires might be an issue with lowering. what are the specs on the wheels and tires? That'll make the lowering decision a lot easier. You won't be able to go as low as that pshop if your tires are too big.

And I know you didn't ask my opinion, but after seeing the pshop of your car lowered, it totally does the wheels justice. Definitely different. Get your low on, and take some good pictures, then you'll see the hate level decrease significantly.

[Kubus]

This is mine on 19s and dropped. If I went any lower I'd be rubbing like mad in the back. As long as there is 0 finger gap Im happy.

I did ask for your opinion on the lowering end of it.... I will drop it as soon as I get free time. Thanks.

perfect. that's what I'm going for. good looking out

[ryanworth]

Yes drop is a must! Didn't like the wheels at first but after seeing the pchop, I'm beginning to grow on them.

[beantown]

Will look damn good dropped [up]

^^^Insane what a difference that makes!

[Chucky831]

Sweet. Thanks for all the replies. Any suggestions on some good priced coilovers?

[greensto]

I would say drop it about 2.5" all around

[cheesefan]

Are those Axis Spiders? I used to want those wheels for my old car. I think they are hot

[Rotond0000]

i like the wheels , with the car lowered.

[rick1.8t]

Holy shit! I've never seen a drop change the way wheels look so much. Totally changed my opinion on them.

[elwigglero]

Sweet. Thanks for all the replies. Any suggestions on some good priced coilovers?

Stasis SS will give you a nice drop with good daily drivable handling and the price is right for a good set of coilovers.

[gyroscope]

it will look much better with the 17" split spokes. sorry but those wheels are atrocious.

[Audi_509]

i like the wheels , with the car lowered.

I agree. The drop makes a big difference.

[deeznuts]

EW! i dont know whats worst, the wheels or the fact that you paid 2500 for them.

keep your credit card hidden at all times when you are drunk or high* future reminder**

[Erocko]

It's gonna look great, after the drop. 4x4-ing it always makes wheels look funny.

[QUATTROA4B7]

x10

[dblock110]

those wheels are so ugly . they belong on an SUV .

[Godfather 2.0T]

wheels are a little to ballerific for me put with a drop and tint i think you could pull it off

[ducati]

I paid $2600 for wheels and tires

brother I know rims are a personal choice but the rims look out of place for a Audi.......$2600 you could have got some sweet BBS rims and some decent rubber.

[Chucky831]

No one asked you what you thought about my wheels, I asked about the lowering portion of it. It's personal taste as well.

[yojoe792]

19 foot rims?!?!?!?!?[o_o]

Just playin. Drop looking good.

[Chucky831]

Just ordered my KW V2s so I can't wait to slap them on and have my car looking similar to that photoshop pic.

[A 4 Awesome]

Just ordered my KW V2s......

Good choice on the KW's. Thats what i would get if I had $$$. Good luck on your modding!

[Chucky831]

Was I able to pull it off? Now it's time for Stasis custom Quad exhaust, Revo Chip, Blow off valve and..... Well just that for now

[vbrad26]

blow off valve?
you sure about that one?

[Godfather 2.0T]

yea man it looks great!

[tjsingh]

Man it looks NICE now with the drop. those wheels remind me of the BMW M3 rims.

[QUATTROA4B7]

I think it looks pretty nice with the drop! I have the same
brand wheels, just a different model, and I went staggered.
So far I love everything about the wheels! .. And I'm gonna
second vbrad, you sure you want a BOV?

[Chucky831]

blow off valve?
you sure about that one?

Why what's wrong with them? give me a reason not to. I dunno, I guess I've just been in the mood to get good and random stuff for my car right now

[Chucky831]

Shoot I mean Diverter Valve, I guess maybe I dunno the difference. Looking at the Forge

Yeah! You definetly pulled it off. looks real nice :)

[vbrad26]

there you go lol...
the audi is a closed lop system...meaning that all unused boost get DIVERTED around in the system
where as a BOV releases that unused boost into the atmosphere causing that boost to escape and pretty much making it NOT a closed system
which can result in problems...

[Chucky831]

there you go lol...

LOL ok I did not know there was a difference but that's what I'm looking into. Thanks.

[Chucky831]

those wheels remind me of the BMW M3 rims.

Ya that's exactly why I got them... something different too from what people normally do on A4s

[Koby]

I like it too, it's a little blingier than we're used to seeing around here, but not in a bad way.

[RandyQUATTRO]

Looks good with the drop. I have STaSIS exhaust and Ohlins SL coilovers and I would definitely recommend them. Streetsports are good too and easier on the wallet. Good luck with the mods.

[damien]

19" M3 reps...def not chrome but close indeed.

what suspension setup are you running?

[Noshame79]

Not my taste, but it's definitely night and day compared to the original pictured you posted!

[Chucky831]

[QUOTE=JPthaJediwhat suspension setup are you running?[/QUOTE]

I ended up getting the KW V2s afterall.... They feel great
