The Spartans or the Professors.................I voted Professors because I think the stepped lip looks better than the flat lip.
The professors look better than that picture too, I've seen some looking good on MK4's, hard to find available sizes though. They don't list on their site, and tirerack doesnt list by sizes, just by application.

Im not really a big fan of the mesh wheels, just as many are not 5 spoke fans.....and I think that is cool because otherwise all of our cars would look the same. Some prefer Nates, I prefer like MattJK's Works over the BBS he had on it. I think the BBS looks better on Kyle's car.

Ok, now Im totally confused. You dont like mesh wheels like nates yet one of your poll options is the Sportmax 006....:aigo: :1zhelp:

Im having a hard time seeing much difference. It is different from the BBS style on kyles for sure. I will also agree that on Matt's car the Works make it look much more agressive and a lot less "old rich persons car" (lol, thats the only thing I could think of to describe the old look)


I love 5 spoke wheels. The 5spoke wheels I DONT like are the ones that have that abrupt curve at the end of the spoke where it joins the lip, like the first 3 options you have. That late contender in the polished finish is more to my taste at least in terms of spoke design, or the one that I posted up. For your car that wheel in a black or gunmetal spoke would look sick. But yeah, I know how hard it is to find the right wheel in the right size with the right offset. I have my wheels narrowed down to 2 completely different styles of wheels.


HEY, here is a thought. I will paint my wheels black and sell em to ya! :naughty:








yeah I know, it was just a joke. You deserve something WAY better than these.

Big let down this weekend, 20 deg outside. I fired the heater up for a while, but just worked on cleaning the garage and better prepping it for more body work.....covering up all my stuff with tarps, putting away everything I don't want dust on. Fedex and UPS did stop by though:):):):)

What kind of coilovers are those? They look really nice.
Nex.......made by same company as ADR. I like them alot by the looks of them, they appear good quality. The only thing is they have 4 levels for dampening, which I am not concerned with..... low med hi works for me, I dont need the other 12 settings in between, it wont be an auto-x car.....just street driving and strip. I just didn't want 14 spring rates in the back or coilovers you have to change spring rate in order to change height.....i like the seperate adjustments.

Dude, having some experiance with Nex, i feel like i should say something. We had a local guy with an s14 running nex's, and they broke at the shaft. Yes, the SHAFT broke. Don't risk it with these cheap ass ebay coilovers.

I am not worried about the coilovers at all. The weather here, though not as bad as yours Ryan.......


SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!

50's this weekend and I will be back out there. I have work stress and lots going on so I havent done squat, but I will post pics Sunday, although prob not exciting, since it will be same as other side.

I have found a set of wheels I love that were not on the list......but $$$....we will see!


Since the rest of this post is a bummer, I might as well mention.....
