Red face would these look good???

ok heres my story in a nut shell....

when i turned 16 i used money that i had saved up from age 12 to buy half of a car for myself. (parents payed for other half. first car only) i got about 10k to spen so i bought an a 2001 audi tt quatro turbo 6 spd... i loved it (pic included) has some nice enkei 18"

anyways... the guy who i bought it from had taped the engine light up so that it wouldnt be visible but there was no way i could prove it.... it ended up being about 4k in damages. my mom gave me her 8 because i needed to get to school and she just got her a vw cc. it went into the shop in may (my birthday was the 20th) and it is still there... they have fixed most of the problem except for a cold start problem that causes itself to flood out and shut down cylinders.

back ot the point though... would these rims look good on my 04' wb 8?

I like his brake set up, but personally I like the charcoal ones my 8 came with, and the R3 wheels. The only reason I would run anything else was if I could afford Mag wheels.

Not a take on you but, I've heard a lot of complaints about the Audi TT. I know two people that rid themselves of them in less than a year.

Early TT's had a rear high speed lift problem. They were crashing them on the autobahn. That is why the newer ones have a small rear spoiler to keep the rear down.

if they're 18" you should be good as long as they're 9" wide or less depending on what size tires you are using
Wedsport has a wheel like this for the RX8 that is selling really well right now...check the vendor thread

You may have some issues with bolt pattern. Audi uses the 5x120 like benz and bmw if i'm not mistaken. I see that they're drilled for another size, but i have no way of knowing.

The'll probably look pretty decent if they fit though.
