I like the look of the white on white and love the new aero! You said you were getting some new wheels right? I am not too fond of VarrsToen wheels. But to each their own

either 285/30 or 295/30. The FD3 racers are running 315/11 front 335/12 rear I would probably switch to the new 275/35-17 later if Hoosier actually makes it, they are considering it for a possible summer/2012 release

thanks for helping lighten it up, sorry that I get so wound up at times about my own function over form mentality

Skateboards are rideable :D everyone gave me funny looks when I rode it around, though there were like 2 other people who had them also. They give about a half inch or inch of clearance. The side markers won't fit this time cause replica bumper hahah. I have to find a new way to put them in now. They'll be in for the next meet forsure! Whenever that may be

The internet wouldn't be fun if we were all sheep with the same mindset. To me, as long as quality parts are used and things are done properly, there is no *wrong* way, only *different* ways


And to stay on topic, I'll go ahead and copy/paste what I wrote in the description on Flickr for these photos:

As I've had many Volks in the past, I cannot say I am the *hugest* fan of Varrstoens. I understand it from the business owner's side, but it gets old when people rock them as if they are the next hot ****.

While in limbo between wheels a buddy let me roll on some Varrstoens. I wanted to try them out to test this fitment and have to say I am pleased; a square set of 19x10.5 ET12 CE28's would be perfection. Fronts of the 9.5 +12 are a little sunk compared to the rears, but some spacer action would fix that up. Just wanted to upload these photos for rx8 demonstration, I hope these photos don't make the usual rounds!

There is a reason I didn't take more pictures of this setup, haha...





Dlum is cool though, Varrstoens or not

Been lusting over this Burnout car lately. Anyone know of any more pictures that haven't been posted in this thread yet?
