awesome chris, looks very nice! seriously when you first got them i kinda wonder if it would look good. but after seeing it in person, it's just the right one for you. and together with the awesome deal you got on them, it's just a perfect setup at the perfect time

Its so funny man, when I ordered mine, I only had two pics to look at. One was a Audi A8 on the iFORGED website (a crappy corner shot) and the other was a pic of the wheels you now have on your car! (Manaray sent them to me). So I was REALLY worried. Choosing wheels must have been one of the hardesr decisions I have ever made!! It took me 3days of CONSTANT staring and p-shops.

The great thing about CL is the different styles/ tastes. I have always been a lusterous/rivet man, but your wheels really look good. Plus the non rivet makes the lip look larger!!

Now roll those fenders and crank her down LOWER!!!!

Thanks Andrew. As for the rear, nothing in hand yet but working on it.

LOL! Patience. Front fenders are rolled. Tires are still hitting the inner cover though, even after raising to the current 1 finger setting. Rears are shaved. I want to shave a little more and will contemplate lowering a little more.

undee, r00kie, audio28, Lexy GS430, GS4fun:
Thanks for the kind words. Always appreciated.

Interesting idea. I'm not a wheel color-matched kind of guy so I never gave it much thought. It would have been interesting though.

Gee, that was not the raa-raa speech you gave me when we were discussing it. It was more buy-buy. It worked out well though. I'm still not ruling out HREs in the future but I'm happy with what I have now. We'll see in a year or two when the bug hits again.
