Very nice man, yeah I was wondering what kind of jack or technique do you use to get your car up off the ground?

This is the only picture I have now. It's not much with the stock 7" wheels.

Yeah, I really like mine. They light up everything when on and mine are just some $10 ebay brand ones.. They're almost as bright as my hids..

Lol, I have to use the crank jack first and then fit a normal jack under the car. I don't trust that crank jack alone.

That's a major improvement from completely stock though. Can't wait until you're running the 17's or 18's.

I'd use two decent side wood blocks everytime I'm trying to jack my car to get it higher first.

Yeah, not as much sunken ship status. I used to drive up on wood but it's less trouble just taking the crank jack out of the trunk. I don't know what I'm going to do about wheels. I don't think I'll be keeping my mercedes wheels. I have been offered 17" lm reps and b6 s4 wheels which are tempting. Not sure if I want 18s though..

Honestly, I ran the LM's in 19" but IMO LM's don't look too good with tire stretched.

On the other hand, stretched with B6 S4 and slammed might be different. Make sure they're poking tho!

I've always liked lm's.


B6 wheels look good on b5's too..


Someone also offered my pie plates..


But I can't decide if I like any of them better than the mercedes wheels I have.. All of the others are 8" wide I think unlike my 8.5"


(these are the 16x8 version of what I have, just to show they can work)

I seriously think you should just stick with the Merc wheels. I have yet to see those on an Audi, in which you'll be the first (at least in my book).

LM's look good with lots of rubber. Though I had to stretched mine because of the width and low offset.
