    Wheels are in.........

    Well I wasn't waiting to get these wheels in only 5 days of purchase with a free shipping option. So far they look great and I can't wait to test fit a wheel to make sure the offset is right. If anyone is looking for a great price on a rep I would highly recommend these guys on Ebay http://stores.ebay.com/O-E-Wheels

    How can you rep a company if you've only opened the box? I'd say you can only truly give them any rep is after you have mounted, tested the wheels a bit.

    Wow $500 is a good price. May have to pick up a pair myself. Update the thread and tell us what you think of em please

    One of my rims has a hairline crack and the salvage yard still isn't selling me the 4 + tires because they haven't sold the engine / tranny out of the car yet. They are the BBS Audi 17" rims.

    I've been using 18" R8 reps from Alloy-R-Us and they look great and have been holding up in the shit roads in Berkeley. They were a steal at 549/set when they came out. I would check them out for cheap wheels that are durable.

    I'm not in any way affiliated to Alloy-R-Us.

    I should have just bought new rims from the classfields awhile back when someone was selling nice ones and just used these for winter. I may just try that.

    Check out the link that I posted in the first post, i would say for the price that I got the reps, it's worth it.

    Yea. If the damn salvage yard calls me back I'll just buy the 4 used wheels with tires from them. I'll get my mechanic to transfer my current tires to the "new" wheels and call it a day.

    should try to test fit em to see if they fit. the lip might cause a problem. then again your 03 so i think you have the other caliper (not hp2)

    No I didn't get a chance to test fit because of the snow and the freezing cold lol and yeah since I don't have the HP2's I think I'll be alright.
