Teaser Thread #2 (Wheels Arrived!)

**AudiWxGuy** · 01-09-2009 12:32 PM

Sorry for the repost. I tried to change the heading of the other post, but it would not change for some reason.

Anyway! The wheels came via UPS today. Nate, they look mint! I snapped some teaser pics with my iphone after I put them in the car.

I'll have some pics of them on that car later today. They are being wrapped in 225/40/ZR18 FK452's. My first set of summer tires! I'm stoked just to see the handling difference.

And one of my interior for fun..

year round summer tires...if only

**whitevdub** · 01-09-2009 12:46 PM

these should look amazing on your car...cant wait for pics

**AudiWxGuy** · 01-09-2009 12:51 PM

Thanks. I just hope they don't rub. Going from a bigger tire, to a smaller tire...will will the wheel gap increase? or stay the same, or get smaller with the coils remaining at the same height?

**p1nk50ck** · 01-09-2009 01:06 PM

you'll love those tires.

**Grishbok** · 01-09-2009 01:07 PM

**AudiWxGuy** · 01-09-2009 01:21 PM

**MOFSTEEL** · 01-09-2009 01:22 PM

**06B7audiA4** · 01-09-2009 01:30 PM

I rocked 245/45/18 on my last set.

**Sharkfin** · 01-09-2009 01:46 PM

you have zero chance of rubbing I promise, those measurements are almost perfect.

**Auditude2.0T** · 01-09-2009 01:48 PM

Congrats bro!! Your car will look great.

**Sharkfin** · 01-09-2009 01:50 PM

you know what I just realized, UPS finally came through. Every time I have ordered something through them it's taken forever or been delayed.

**AudiWxGuy** · 01-09-2009 01:59 PM

They know who they shouldn't fuck around with. The car was just dropped off like 10 mins ago. They should be on shortly. I went with a smaller tire for looks. I got some pics of a 225/40/18 with BBS CH and I loved the look. I think the 235's are good, too. Just a little big. I am stoked!!

**Sharkfin** · 01-09-2009 02:08 PM

booyah

**EMAXX** · 01-09-2009 02:14 PM

So let see some pictures of the wheels on the car.

**AudiWxGuy** · 01-09-2009 02:16 PM

Hey Nate, YGPM. Please check it.

**AudiWxGuy** · 01-09-2009 02:47 PM

Wheels aren't going on today....I'll explain later. Sorry the tease, guys.

looks like champion wheels, oh no, it's OZ hah

**AudiWxGuy** · 01-09-2009 08:57 PM

There is an issue with the wheels. I'm not going to go into it now. I'll have an update in the next few days.

**AudiWxGuy** · 01-09-2009 11:23 PM

Alright...So here is the update. The shop went to put the wheels on the car today and discovered that two of them are bent beyond repair. Speaking with my seller, it seems as though the wheels may have been damaged during shipment. So I've filed a claim with UPS to get the money for the wheels, and reached a resolution with the seller. In the meantime, I'll be ordering two brand new wheels next week at some point.

The person who sold me these wheels was nsmith12. He has been extremely helpful in resolving the situation. If anybody wants to buy anything for their car, contact him directly. He's always selling something. And if he's not, he can probably get what your looking for. i.e. these wheels. He is a great person to deal with and is very helpful. He will answer any question you have, at almost any hour of the day.

So my tires are waiting. The wheels will be on the car at some point in the next few weeks. Sorry for the delay!

**Sharkfin** · 01-10-2009 12:21 AM

We're working on it, I want to see him get these wheels on the car.

X3 love my piano black trim but it does make the interior very dark.

**Sharkfin** · 01-10-2009 08:24 AM

I would trade my aluminum trim for piano black in a second, it would be a nice change to the interior.
