Thats a good point ^ after all you never get the money you spent on it when you get rid of it, specially if you trade it in which is a big NO NO. What suspension set up do you guys recommend for a 99 2.8l? im looking to slap on some 18" wheels in the future, thanks!

Enkei CDR9 are my favorite. but all depends on how it matches the rest of your car.

I like the cdr9s too I want them in hyper black but those are 203$ a wheel, I think I like the evo6 wheels a lot I'm probly going to order them today

And my car needs a drop badly.. And for 200$ why the hell not... If it doesn't snow this winter which I hope it does, I'll probly get these on around janurary once it's lowered and aligned

They look alright. I would pick something different though. Why buy wheels that are 3" larger in diameter and only .5" wider than stock? They at least need spaced out more than that picture though. I don't see why you're spending money on this car if you're just going to get rid of it. Don't lower the car if you plan on trading it in. Do you think you can install springs yourself? $200 for the springs to put on non sport struts that won't be able to handle them for long + install + decreasing the value of your car doesn't seem worth it. What's wrong with the S4 wheels if you plan on buying one? If I had an S4 I would rather spend over a thousand bucks on performance and suspension before wheels.

If you are going to sell the car then why do you keep investing in this one? People don't want to buy cars right now and certainly nothing will change by April. I can understand the wheels are interchangeable, but you have and continue to invest a lot into this car. 95% of potential buyers don't care to pay more than what the bb value is even if it has mods, and especially if you are trading it in. I'm not trying to sound old, but at your age, you should take that money and invest in something that increases in value instead of depreciates over time. I mean, you are trying to start a business or something, right? Will wheels get you customers? Buy 5 seconds of air time at your local radio station

I was confusing you with someone else when i mentioned something about starting a business. But still, an S4 will bleed you dry if you ever need moderate/major engine/tranny work. Buy up some GM stock so that when they rebound you can buy an RS4 and afford to repair it.
