Good day for the Audi brothers (wheels, BWW)

**joeya103** · 08-04-2004 06:31 AM

Yesterday the delivery guy came and brought 8 wheels and tires, all from edgeracing. It was like Christmas, no joke =P

I got me a set of 17" Flik Justice wheels (high gloss) and my brother got some 18" Flik Artics (black). Take my word for it, they look sooo much better in person, and while spinning!

Here's my swings and Fliks side by side...the Justices definitely don't look like normal 17"s, they look big...but this picture has it in front which makes it look even bigger. Either way, they're pretty

30-40 minutes later:

My brother's nasty 15" wheels:

Then he slapped these bad boys on

(Ugh sorry for the sun...washing it out)

Some more shots:

(Don't stress yourself, he's getting ecodes shortly =P)

The brothers posing with their new shoes

Good stuff!

Looks great. what a difference wheels can make. I should really get myself a set soon.

**Marita** · 08-04-2004 07:04 AM

looks very very nice

**Live2Ski** · 08-04-2004 07:13 AM

Those Justices do your Silver A4 VERY well!!! Good purchases all the way around.

**RedRocket** · 08-04-2004 07:39 AM

Looking good

**pdxa4** · 08-04-2004 07:45 AM

good job, very nice...

**creep** · 08-04-2004 07:49 AM

looking good gentlemen. nice choice of wheels for both cars!

**MR VTEC** · 08-04-2004 07:51 AM

Great show guys!

But those 17"s look big because all of the meat on the tires. what is that 45's

**DDQ** · 08-04-2004 08:20 AM

Looks great! Nice choice.

I agree with VTEC, the tires look big. Did you plus size correctly? The only reason I ask is that in your first pic, the overall diameter of the wheel looks much bigger compared to stock, when really, they should be the same. It's not really a big deal, but your speedometer and odomoter will be off.

Your car is really coming along great, nice work.

**4 PLAY** · 08-04-2004 08:21 AM

I'm in Fairfax, where exactly are you? We should meet up!

**pdxa4** · 08-04-2004 08:32 AM

The 17" wheel looks bigger due to the design of the spokes...they make the wheel look like a 18" one...

I had the same comments before when I had the BBS SX 18", a lot of people thught that they looked like 19"s...

If his tire is 45 profile then that would be correct...

**marked001** · 08-04-2004 09:03 AM

very nice! def. look big for 17s..

**A4orce84** · 08-04-2004 09:10 AM

Hey joeya103,

Lookin good dudde! How long did it cost ya for the whole package? Wheels and tires? Thanks.

**Saturnine** · 08-04-2004 09:42 AM

I dig those 17's fo sho!!

**Daft** · 08-04-2004 09:54 AM

Wheels sure are an expensive mod but, the difference is always incredible.

Those were some good wheel choices too.

**awe4rings** · 08-04-2004 10:16 AM

I cant tell whether its a reflection or not but it looks like your bro got hit in the front driverside.

I don't have any dents, but I do have some scratches on my front bumper and were touched up.

Thanks for the compliments guys, I drove around today and everytime I saw them, I had a smile on my face. Rims definitely transform a car.

BTW, my tires are 225/45/17, the ones in the package from edgeracing.com. I got the Toyo Proxes FZ4, and the total cost (including shipping) came out to be a little over $1000.

**jones3000** · 08-04-2004 11:03 AM

Brings tears of joy to my eyes. I remember when my set arrived.
And props to edgeracing for having such a quality product at SWEET prices!

**littlewhite** · 08-04-2004 11:10 AM

NICE, both of you guys' next mod = suspension. I like both of those wheels

I already have H&R sport springs and Bilstein shocks...don't plan on going any lower.

My bro is still on his stock sport suspension but will be getting springs soon too.

**littlewhite** · 08-04-2004 11:37 AM

I see. How much was teh whole package of the wheels/tires

**joeya103** · 08-04-2004 11:46 AM

Both bundles come at 899 + shipping (about 60), but with my Toyo Proxes FZ4, it was like 60 more, so a little over 1000 for me (about 960 for my brother)

**Jon_Rhea** · 08-04-2004 12:01 PM

Look very good!! The difference a set of wheels can make....

**excursion** · 08-04-2004 12:27 PM

Like them a lot

**1.8Titorey** · 08-04-2004 12:37 PM

looking good. and you guys can swap rims if ever feel like a new look.

**TheDude** · 08-04-2004 12:38 PM

Looks great, maybe ill see them if you are ever parked in the Post Forest Apts. again. New wheels changes the whole car.

**$teady$upreme** · 08-04-2004 01:51 PM

awesome...u guys have same year model too?

**EnvyJK** · 08-04-2004 02:09 PM

brought tears to my eyes to see those rims finally on... and plus, me and joe were strugglin in the heat, oozing with sweat to put those bad boys on.

all in all, those fliks are just great wheels for the price. now, for the suspension, anyone have any sport springs for the quattro to sell me? =)
