:O the 19's in that thread look real nice. Wish I lived out in CA where there aren't potholes every 20 yards.

Don't worry our roads are not perfect...

Not much black top out here.. Lots of concrete...

BTW - I think the 18's fit nice on your AWD... What brand & size tires did you go with??

Matador red pulls off these rims so well. I don't think it would look as good on another car.

Those gunmetal S5s go really well with Matador Red. Nice setup.

not sure where in cali there are no potholes but id love to live there! lol, there are potholes EVERYWHERE in la, at least in hollywood, west hollywood, santa monica and bev hills area. These arent your normal potholes either. You seriously think your tire doesnt reach the bottom cause your frame is slamming on the pavement! haha, ok not THAT bad, but bad enough to make you cringe, and continue driving slowly, hoping that your wheel isnt about to fall off.
