Thanks for the words fellaz.

Yeah, some people like the wheels and some don't. I actually like them. Initially I told him to go mesh but he wanted something a bit different.

The wheels look great, especially with this pic.

But I think a different finish on the wheels would be nice. Polished, or perhaps dark chrome?

Didn't this car have brushed A8 5 spokers previously? I remember you posting pics of it before. I really liked those wheels...

Yeah, we talked about that briefly. If he were to have anything done, it'd probably be something subtle, like, just having inside of the slats polished.

Now those look GREAT, there's a kid around here that has those on a white GTI. Broadface doesn't look right on VWs...
