Default Lookie what I bought yesterday

$25,000. 99 GS4 with 39k miles.
Yes it was the same one off ebay but I just went to the dealership and bought it in person. Now I need to find the best price on some LD1's or find them 2nd hand in excellent shape.

Congrats and Welcome!

But, I would consider some other wheels than the LD1s. They seem so played out. JMHO.

Talking Are you going to sell your wheels if you get new ones?

Thanks but I don't think they are played out yet and besides I really like them. (That's what counts to me)
Nobody has them from the town I am from (Only 1 set of Knock-Offs I have seen)

Anyway....Already bought some today and for $3000 with brand new tires......I could not beat the deal. (2nd hand but in excellent shape)

I move fast don't I.

ngl1145-I might think about selling them. I will PM you after my LD1's on on.

I'm in Clarksville. Also along KY border but half way accross the state.

rominl-I will consider dropping the car, but will have to make up my mind once I get them on. How much does that cost parts+labor? I don't want to mess up the ride of the car more than the 20"s will.

Any damage or resale value concerns with dropping?

well with dropping the ride can more or less affected, but if you get say the tein CS, the ride will just be the same even after you drop it to 1 finger gap. parts and labor i'd say it's around 1500? that's here in cali though, not sure about your area

as long as you put the car back to stock before you sell it, i don't see any problem
