Default thoughts on car overall

Ok I had this car for awhile and I really enjoyed it, I put c6 wheels on it, 19s in the front and 20s in the rear, tires are kinda skinny but I think it looked good, but a lot of people told me it looked ghetto and what not, only thing I didn't like is the wheels was heavy as hell. Just seeing what you guys think of it, by the way I sold it for 8500 and now have a 98 a4 with ws9 outlaw hood, I miss the 6 speed

the car i absolutely love!! the wheels are sweet but in my opinion they are too big.. the most i would do is 18" front 19" rear.. but even then the car would have to be the right stance and right wheels and what not. Pretty sweet ride though

They was huge compared to the stockers when I sat them next to each other but I put them on the car and they seemed to fit great, tires were 400 each for the rear so that sucked, had nittos on all corners

Put a stall in your A4. It will change your feelings about it I bet.

Ya that's true, I'm thinking that when I put a stall in my tranny is going to give up its life, so thinking about downing a tranny/stall package sometime, but ya a stalled auto has to be more fun to drive then it is now with out one

A good tranny cooler and you'll be fine for a while I would imagine.

That doesn't look like missourri at all, in fact looks like you are stationed in Norfolk, Va either that or they moved the auto hobby shop a long way. Nice facility though. I was stationed on USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) from 2004-2009 so I did a lot of work in that same shop. I am enjoying some shore duty now. So whats your rating? Thanks for serving our country.

Wheels are to friggin big. otherwise with smaller wheels car would be great. at most 18" wheels otherwise anything bigger just doesn't work with the body of the car.

The car has a nice stance. If the car was tubbed and there was more room for some rubber under the *** it'll look sick.
