Great wheels guys! Keep posting.

And I SOOO have to lose the rub strips on my S4. My '85 didn't have them, and its killing me that the '88 does. Wouldn't mind losing the sunroof either. Oh well.

Ok, back to wheels.

18" Carerra III's. 8" on front, 11" on the rear. Painted semi-flat black. Pictures don't quite do them justice.

Andrew those wheels do look great, I also painted my Carerra lightweights black, a more modern look, they did require spacers on the rear as the offset is 65 mm, did you require spacers on the rear? I take it the fitment is perfect on the front?

Here's a side view of the car. I'll post one more below. I can send you different angles if you send me an email with your email address.

hahaha I knew I'd catch you on here one of these days, Abby. This is Kris, and yes, that is at Clasik. You can find me there most days. I'm trying to get Danny's 84' ready for paint at the moment.

What ever happened with your Jacquemond/ supercharged project?

not until late afternoon. I'm up @ my father's in Gulfport-ish for T-day, but am departing here early afternoon. Barring any traffic stops that I can't talk my way out of, I should be back in town around 3. Call up Danny and get him out of the house....he's back with Kristen.
