I definitely wanna stay at 17 inch, but the +35mm offset is looking good! I think that I'll keep them like that up front but I'll get a pair of 10mm spacer for rear, since the rear end is bigger. I'll be buying either Megan Racing coilovers or BC BR series coils. And thanks for the input guys!!

Ha, yeah. I was just kidding around tongue.gif


And I'm not really sure what rims I want! All I know is that I wanna stay at 17", I want to go up to 8" wide, and I want an offset of at least 35mm on them. I'll get to looking eventually, I won't be getting new rims for a while, since I have to get new tires as well for the 8" wide wheels.

Any recommendations on tires? I'm running 215/40/17 Falken 512 tires and I like the way they wrap around the wheel. My current wheel is 7.5" wide. What would be an equivalent tire to look the same on an 8" wheel?

In addition to fixing my shredded timing belt, I replaced the water pump so I don't have to screw around with it in the future.

Those C-One's look great, But I like the XD9's better because they have a slight lip. I don't really like the spokes to be right on the rim. And those XD9's are about $400-450 a wheel frown.gif I'm trying to find a similar wheel that's cheaper.

Those would look really great on an EK hatch, but I'm just having trouble picturing them on my car.

Here is the pic on a 7gc....you seen what oem rims 7gc provide to the 6gc looks like....imagine these on the 6gc. not forcing on you...just keep looking if you have something else in mind; that way, you'll definitely have no regrets buying them

Got some new wipers. Those nice Rain-X ones. Mine were starting to streak.

And I'm now thinking of RPF1's as my wheel choice.
