would 17X7.5 kopis look good?

ah don't worry about that!

Uh, did you notice I didn't worry about it and already photoshopped it? It was a joke...

your car will look like shit with kopi's and stock suspension. take the advice given and do suspension first.

Well if you have your mind absolutely set on getting the wheels, by all means go for them. I just know that when it comes to modding a car(and I know nearly everyone on the board will agree with me) suspension should always come first. It will visually change the look of your car, and will incredibly improve the way it drives. It literally is a night and day difference. Unless all your stock components have been recently replaced that is.

That being said, the number one thing it comes down to is it's your car and no one else is writing the checks for your mods. Just trying to help a fellow enthusiast out with a little bit of personal experience and my I'm very interested to see what will become of your car because it is definitely up there with being one of the cleanest cabrios on the board.

Thanks for the advice, for me its i just don't understand why its better to do the suspension first, like what if i lower it too much that these 17's wouldn't fit in the wheel well and would rub like crazy. Honestly i think i might pass these wheels up anyways. I really can't afford it(I am only 17 you know :p ) I might just go for something cheap but nice looking i guess. Maybe I can do suspension first then. For wheels what would you recommend thats nice but cheap? and again for the suspension.... thanks

a nice set of basketweaves would be a start. Pretty cheap to boot

perhaps. Anything is better than my hubbies(except bottlecaps )

True that, Id search or put up a WTB for clean weaves. Will probably run 300-350 for a set in excellent condition

perhaps i would. but if i post it on here i would probably have to pay at least that in shipping since im up in western canada!

what size are weaves easiest to find in? 15 or 16?

[steinbachphoto]

oo I found this... what doyou think?

Here's a set for sale right here on this forum. I'm sure you could talk him down a bit, too. :D

hmm i dont know man. Are you able to calculate the shipping of them? because i can pick up those other bbs weaves for 300 (there pretty much local, just a ferry ride away). So in order for it to be worth my while it would have to be less than that.

Also, would that bend effect the driving experience at all? and what is camber wear? :oops:

You want Kopis...

if you'd like to give me the money for them.. then sure. ;)

after really thinking about it weaves are alot more practical for me right now. I can get a set with tires for $300. Rather than $1000 for the kopis. I can get those wheels and a h&r/bilstein set up for about the price of just getting the kopis....

damn those kopis look good,
I think steinbachphoto has a bid on the wheels i was looking at picking up.
thinking I might need a larger foot print after going turbo
