It's dropped by 70/50. It drives very smoothly still, and is not as bumpy as I expected. The grass makes it look lower, but you can see it on the road looking a little higher. |

Hey, thanks for the appreciative comments everyone!!! Weaves? Is that the BBS rims? lol
Me and a friend had an afternoon of cleaning cars today (he has a MK4 Golf), and I spent two hours cleaning those rims with a toothtbrush! Also fitted a heat guard on the K&N cone filter. Still lots of little jobs to do, and a few big ones, too. |

do you think the weave wheels painted in black with a red rim edge would match to my silver car?
EDIT: You know, M3 Evo-style...

^i thought about doing something like that with mine. since then i've decided that i don't like black rims - they blend into the tires too much. i'd say no.

You could do just the centres black and polish the rims; that looks awesome. I personally think that works better on bright coloured cars and adds a bit of contrast.
I would perhaps just go for some BBS cross spoke as they are, or how about some Alpina reps?
Look on the touring blog; lots of inspiration for rims on there, mate  |
