upgrade the c320 ..yeah i guess thats why im doing this wheel search..
so far its bone stock...we have the car since day one....and now im like wtf, might as well spruce it up...just not sure im gonna get bang for buck as the 230 kompresor folk get
by the way, all u guys with 230 K, after u do your common mods, (pulley kit, ecu, exhaust)....is your car as fast a 320 yet or not??

yeah thats the issue, we are a rare breed
i drove the 230K and 320 back in 2004/5 before buying and just was not thrilled with the 4bangers power,
i wish there was a direct bolt on supercharger or somethign for my car....
even with exhausts there isnt much out there, im not even sure whats good.....eisenman seems crazy expensive...and all these ecu tunes claim 20hp, but is it real

There is a bolt on supercharger. If I recall correct you can put the Kompressor off of a C32 and I have seen some for sale. Also there is a Kleemann supercharger.
For exhaust like I always say on here go with a supersprint. Get a Eurocharge ECU tune. I got about 23whp and 21wtq from my tune. Different engine of course. Being N/A and having those gains is awesome .

i have OE tuning a few miles from me, they seem like they have tunes for every single car on the market, so i don t know if its tried and true stuff
the prices for tunes is amazing, i remember my 94 jetta 2.0 L that i got a chip from eurosport or neuspeed was like 100 bucks, and 5 hp

so i checked these out in person, they seem quite nice...the guys who bring them in are pretty cool
they recommended the 18s and these is there size below
my question was will i need spacers at all? on the Rear
18x8 5x112 32 66.6 1.5" $175/wheel
18x9 5x112 40 66.6 3.0" $225/wheel
for the 19s i think they would have to redrill for correct hub
in terms of color, they said you can pop off the rivets and have it done
