New track shoes

[Louis J.]

BBS RCs: 18x8.5 ET32 18.5lbs per side wrapped in Falken RT-615s 235/40/18. I took the car for a rip last night after the swap and the car now sticks like glue. Taking them for extended testing this Saturday at a Solo event and Sunday at AutoX.

Pretty Sweet!!

[ImitationOfLife]

Those look really nice. Are you going to put any center caps on them?

[outlaw77]

a set of center caps and your golden!

[agkellyboy]

Very nice, where did you pick them up?

[g_svan]

center caps are for loosers --> these are RACING SHOES!

looking good Louis

[agkellyboy]

Damn it g_svan I was just about to add that to my last post! Besides, center caps will make them look straight off a GLI.

[Louis J.]

Thanks for all the comments guys. I bought them from Winston (Podi) who is local to me. Great guy to know and deal with.

g_svan and agkellyboy: You beat me to the punch!

They look great on the car.

And who needs centercaps on track wheels?

[Louis J.]

Thanks man. I'm so glad to be driving with sticky tires again. Huge difference! The Podi is going in this week too.

For those of you who've been stuck in another planet and don't know yet, Winston sells the best gauges for our cars. Don't delay...buy one today!!!

[loustylez]

same wheels as on mine. coming from stock 17" celebration rs4's, definitely a big difference.

[autoverruckt]

even if he had center caps its recommended you remove during track use because they may melt (hard braking = heat = center caps toast on any wheel).

Those look good on your car!

[Louis J.]

Thanks for the comments guys. Got the car out on the hwy in the rain and the car was solid. I love these tires!

[scoobycarolan]

one of my favorite looking B7s, way to go Louis!

[redhott06]

looks good though!

[muffinman]

Oooooh, stylish AND functional.. I like

[PerfCafe]

Louis now you'll have some new track Piloti's to go along with your track shoes ... and a randy RS4 rear sway baby!

[INTEGRATION]

Awesome choice! Glad you went with the BBS route!

[Louis J.]

Scooby: Thanks! When I was searching, it was either brilliant black or ibis white. You've got great taste my friend.

red: Thanks but I actually have the caps...I left them off on purpose.

muffin: Still looking for some RS4s for the street though.

Jb: HaHa, I was thinking of posting a pic of the other "new track shoes" herewhen they arrive. Thank you much for all your help this afternoon. Guys, if you need anything for your B7, Jb from Performance Cafe is your man! Service level that is rare to find now a days and a cool dude too.

Integration: Thanks man! Pretty happy with the wheels and tires. Couldn't believe the weight difference compared with the stockers eventhough 615s are pretty heavy. The car now glues to the road with the sticky 615s and I can only barely feel it pushing a bit at 8/10ths on sweepers (offramps ) but the RS4 sway that Jb has in the mail for me should fix that.

Sweet you have more pics of your quad exhaust? Any details you can share.

[HeHateMe]

damn those are some of the best looking track wheels I've seen

[Louis J.]

Sure. Abt quad tip. It's an axleback as most exhausts out of Europe seem to be due to strict sound and emission standards. It is a straight-through system though so very efficient and the build quality and sound are unparalleled. I wanted at least a cat back so I took it to a muffler shop and got them to build me a custom 2.5" y pipe with a Maxflow high-flow resonator. It got a bit louder, though still very conservative, and seems to breathe better. I'm very, very happy with the setup.
