    Suspension and wheel upgrade

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Any suggestions on a set of wheels? I'm looking for a clean , flush look for the stance. Thinking of getting 19" or 20 " wheels and lowering springs. I have spacers in the bottom 5 pictures 15mm f , 20mm r. Or should I just lower the car and leave the stock wheels?

    Well if your going to lower it either way just do that first and see how you like it on the stock wheels. I personally am a huge fan of those wheels with spacers (which you have).


    There ...I just saved you money ;). It won't ever happen again



    Ps. Black out your window trim

    I would lower it first and see what you think, the stock wheels are good looking enough to evaluate it once lowered. As far as wheels, I would consider a 20", I think the cost factor between 19" and 20"s is nominal and 20"s look so much more appropriate on the B8.

    Do you recommend using plastidip or vinyl wrap the window trim? I previously had plastidip , but just removed it because had the paint detailed. I liked the way the plastidip looked.

    How about powder coating the oem wheels for an oem+ look? Some choices would make those wheels pop! I had my peelers powder coated satin black and it became a different car. I'm about to have my 19" rotors powder coated this coming week :)
