    I think the car would have to be lower with more offset to really pull them off.

      The 15s are very weak IMO
      other two I would switch between every now and then.

        Another for the Hartge's, I liked the 15'' RS's as well, just needed to be wider.

          If you had slightly wider tires on the 17s making them slightly taller, I think I would agree. However, right now they look ugly with such a small tire. Are those 205/40/17s? What are the specs of the wheels?


          I Love RFs.

            Thanks for the comments.

            I do love the RFs the most out of the 3. The hartges were very nice and pretty hard to come by, especialy complete with caps and in 16s but it did not have the lip I was looking for.

            The bbs rf are 17x8 et 12 with 215/40 tires and are enough wheel/tire combo for San Francisco streets and perfect for my daily driver. Don't get me wrong, I would love to get it lower :)

            Stay tuned. Another change is going to happen....

              5-8mm spacer out back, and a hair lower and it will be perfect.

              Nice work!

                  The hartge looked the best. the 15 inchers just needed a little bit more lip or a little less tire, but the RF look good.

                        That is probably my favorite 4 door I've seen in a long time. I'm partial to the 16's, but I'd say they all look pretty good.

                          17s for tire selection sure, but the Hartges blow those 5-spokes out of the water.
