I wish but the car is brand new and I value my warrenty. I dont want to create any problems with voiding my warrenty. I am still enjoying the car immensely with the stock suspension and ride height. I can get over a little gap in the wheelwells for now.

what size tires and what size wheels?

VIP = stretched tires, typically big with VW's and Japanese luxury cars.

Put a return after each pic to get them to line up vertically.

Now that's weird. All of his pics are in a line horizontally. Making me scroll sideways to see them. I am using IE6.

what's weird is it displays for me fine in Firefox, but when I quoted this message, they show up horizontally. good news is I'm sure you're not on crack now

I purchased them from wheelguyz on the internet. They charged me $650 shipped for all 4 at 18x7.5". That is by far the best price on the web.

I like'um. Can you take a pic of the wheels close up.
Like 3 to 5 feet away at wheel level to get a better view. Thanks
