Motegi DPKs
Pic #2 - What's up MikeB? I love them by the way and after long discussion with Golden West tire decided to keep the TPMS intact, appreciate all the knowledge they gained from yours!

wheels/springs
Thanks guys...I'm REAL happy, had to wait an additional 2 days after dealer could not deliver on appointment day, he tried to talk me into some 5zigen wheels that were very very similar but obvioulsy twice the price, I even thought about for a second but the fact was I liked these more and was willing to make the 250 mile roundtrip again for the ones I had ordered..It's all good now.

I've seen about a million and one sets of Volks on 8's in this forum as well. Nothing wrong with it. We buy what looks good, and we're all happy.

i mean don't get me wrong here..i wasn't trying to bash on it...it does look really good with the wheels on... IMO its just the same car with the same rims that other people have on... i guess i just get tired of seeing the same thing twice... but congrats on the rims.. =)

XDEEDUBBX, understood and thanks. Hey by the way, would you except a plain jane Ferrari 348 or 911 Turbo, people tend not to alter their "factory look" but I'd still LOVE to have one. Sometimes when it's done right (props to MikeB and mdw33333) you just except it and ride with it.

Sorry AutoBahn, but your Volks aren't any more "original" than the Motegis, just more expensive.
