BBS makes the two piece wheel, thus it cost more and is better quality in terms of fit and finish.There is a company called Wheels and Caps in the US that is selling them on Ebay currently... Just do a search for R90...Maybe we could get a group buy here together... There price is $600 per set of 4..

I was just about to buy those silver indicator bulbs from moss............I didn't know you could just spray paint them yourself. Do you just take off the front bumper, take out the bulbs, spray paint them, wait for them to dry and put them back in? What kind of spray paint do you have to use? Thanks.

yep, just pop the hood, pull them out of the bumper (do not need to remove the bumper) and just use any enamel
silver spray paint. light coat is best.

jus to add to that two & three piece wheels are heavier for the most part, if u track the car a lot and want to change to a wider track wheel u jus switch the outer & inner rings and keep the same centers.
also used to get around BBK better........
and also for BLING/braggin' right's!
fat lips l00k killer on these small/stout cars. i know theres more reasons for the multi piece wheels but i'd be ramblin' on, more than i am now

Passat774, my wheel buddy
if theres an interest in the italian wheels, im in on the group buy

I hadnt noiced the amber lens until now, quick fix for that like you said with the paint. Running the 215 35 18's Pirelli Nero's pretty good tire, dont have to put in too much heat to get them going.
The Tein setup is pretty sweet. With the EDFC you can dial in on the fly. I'm still experimenting trying to find the best combo for comfort, firm and track, but nice to have the option. Thanks to Jonathan at World One for getting me the sweet deal and great service. Very satisfied customer.

yah, i wonder if you can fit their S-Tech springs on there...then it would
be more in the streetable terriory... 500lbs/in is pretty extreme for me too.
