    Yeah, I've been sitting here trying to figure out the perfect adapters for 8.5" salad shooters and now that I look at it, negative offsets with 8's aren't gonna be much different than the setup you have right now. Can't wait to see it!

    Have to admit I'm concerned about this engine bay color switch thingy you're planning though. But hey, it ain't my car.
    Nothing to be concerned about its going to look amazing. Something I've always wanted to do on a black car. It may not be for everyone but hey it's my car lol. It won't be black that's for sure.

    Gosh, I hate you... ;)

    Gotti's are my dream wheels...

    Edit: Are you going 5 lug? et11 sounds a little extreme for adapters...

    Those Gotti's are super nice! Going on your car as daily drivers so the RS'es get a rest?
    Tire chunks everywhere 24/7. Stupid socal.

    And no actually lol They are both going to be used the same. When I get tired of the bbs I will use the gottis. But first I need to get my engine bay painted before i use the gottis. Have a special color in mind for the bay. :D

    I just want to say great job! This car is amazing. All it needs is an S54 and Recaros.
