thinking of buying new wheels ...

hi guys,

so i have been driving long enough on the standard rims i quess, and i have been looking for some new ones ...

and now, i'm looking for some opinions ...

the car will recieve a drop job in the future, but im not sure if I should go for 18 or 19" ...

I had one of these in mind:

-Schmidt phantom line (1 piece)





- Vertini Hennesey:




- Oz Raphaello (although a bit out of my leage)






any opinions ??

by the way, its for this car

I like the schmit phantom one. you will be able to see the brakes better on this one too b/c less spokes on the pattern than the second rim you posted. unlike on the audi (unless im blind) i think it would look better on your car black with chrome lip. and while 19s are sexy, i think that at that size, they will start to hinder your performance from the extra weight. i would go with 18's IMO.

These are hot as hell. I would rock these for sure, The second ones are cool, but they look more on the luxury side vs sports side. The 3rd ones are ugly.

What was the +1 for then? Wagons don't really, but the rims are what I like.

I meant i have never seen a C32 wagon...so it would look strange to me...but the rims are nice...sorry for the misunderstanding...
