New Wheels!

[amd is the best]

In anticipation of my government stimulous money, I decided to get a new set of wheels. I havn't seem too many people running these (no one actually) and though they would look pretty bad ass. They are Mrr GT-1's in 18X8.5 ET 35 wrapped in a falken 452 225-40-18's. I just got them in the mail today and took a few pics. Please excuse the very dirty car, its been raining here on and off for the last two weeks!! Enough with the typing, here are some pics:

Tight! Similar to the BBS rims that I have seen on a few S4s. Now all you have to do is change those calipers to blue!

OP, just remember its not the governments money, it is your to begin with. With out us, the government has NO money. Enjoy your new rims, I'm sure you will love them.

Yea, 19" B5 RS4 reps. They rubbed like crazy and weighed 63lbs each (wheel and tire). They did look awesome though.

Thanks! It was a toss up with the black ones, but I ended up with these. Either would have looked good though.

New wheels look great on your car - very nice choice. Could be a bit challenging to clean, tho.

Thanks man! About the cleaning, I need to get some brake pads that make less dust, these are HORRIBLE! Any recomendations?

[SilverThing]

Based on some recent searching on the forums, here's what I've come up with as a short list of pads to check out that are recommended for good braking and low dust: Carbotech Bobcats, Pagid Black (Street version), Hawk HPS (In that order). Anyone else is more than welcome to chime in with more suggestions.

I bought Pagid pads from Matrix racing, they supposedly create less dust, but I haven't installed them yet.

I run Hawk HPS and have been very happy with the performance and low dust production.

Love the devil tint on the - as we all know - fastest-color SILVER S4. ;)

Awesome info, thanks! The tint is only 20% too...must be the lighting.

nice rims, a pain to cleam though! :)
I think I liked the car with the RS4 reps better though. a toss...

[Rane_kn]

no go with the rs4's. I was looking at a set just like those but not sure what company. Personally I'm jealous

[skunkoncrunk]

Nice! Very clean!

[tbone5446]

I run Akebono ceramic pads and have NO dust and they stop great with the stock calipers
