found my next set of wheels for the car or the Audi well might do the CCW on the Audi and put these on the w203. I'm in love with these new ISS Forged ML24 RM-15

Ugh - that tattoo gives me the heebie jeebies.

I do love the Crest-sponsored minty fresh S2K, though.

on a side note...

I lowered the car some more. I'm so low that my control arms are hitting the subframe lol but somehow my powersteering hard pipe on the rack and pinon is rubbing something so now my powersteering is leaking. F@ck have to fix the hardpipe somehow but I only way is to buy a new rack and pinon. Think I'm going to take it to my hose and fitting guy and have him build a connector and put a new pipe in between with high pressure fittings. still drives but w/o powersteering. Gonna have to raise the car some I think =(

It's almost like your car is telling you that you've dropped it too low.
