If you want to see what the money went to get the wheels. If you just do a tb, ud pulley and tune you wont notice too much. If you add a set of LT's or gears in there you will be happier. Good luck I bought the TTII's and love them, just depends if you want all show no go or stick to the stock looks which aren't bad and make your car faster.

i was in the same dilemma about a week ago. had about 1300 to spend on my A4 WS6 that had exhaust, lid, and ported TB already. figured i could do headers, ORY, tune and UD pulley. then i realized was getting 2.4 60's on street tires, and figured it would be foolish to add more power to a car that couldnt apply it. so i reused 2 of my street tires for the fronts of my new TTM's, and bought 2 315 mickeys for the rear. now my cars gunna look **** and hook. 1200 bucks well spent!

Do the mods, LT's, ORY, TB, UD Pulley, and tune. You'll be looking at anywhere between 350-360 rwhp.
