Yes or no?

Post by DavidT » Wed May 16, 2007 11:56 pm

My car is silver with black trim. I like the design and the black finish between the spokes.

Does that make me a bad person or are these cool?

Know what you mean - but the spokes are too skinny for my liking ... the S4 is a "solid" looking car, and, as such needs "solid" looking wheels ... these wheels on a B5 S4 would detract from the overall aesthetic coherence, and would very quickly become incongruous ... even to the most ardent advocate.

S4TAN..so eloquently written! (But one agrees).

Ask Bobbler for a photo. He stuck some on his S4 recently.

I agree with S4TAN. There's also the look of your own car to consider. Some like the I ARE RACECAR look, in which case LOOK AT ME wheels are great. Personally, my car is more stealthly, and so I wouldn't even consider them...

Very similar (although a lot cheaper!) to one of the MTM Bimoto designs..
