The suspension was just installed so it hasn't settled in yet so they still sit a little higher then they are supposed to.

Specs on wheels:
06 Jetta sitting on 18x8 Rials with a 45 offset.
00 Maxima on 18x8 350z Touring Wheels with a 30 offset and 15mm spacers in the rear only.

Both on 225/40/18 tires.

We are pleased with the new looks. Feedback???

Nothing, other then of course having to replace the crappy ignition coils that always seem to get recalled right after the cars drive off the lot

Actually I'm very pleased with the VW, they have come along way!

Thanks, I'm actually trying to go lower with it. I'm going to try some tein s-techs for now its not worth it to me to buy coilovers now and end up having to take them off in a couple months for winter since chicago winters ruin even the best coilovers!

He drives an AT Max., has a VW in his driveway, and thinks he's the king of Chi-town. I guess I expected idiocy.

Thank you! But its not gold

On a serious note its sunlit sand more of a light beige color, really hard to capture in pictures with a crappy camera I personally hate gold cars and like this color a lot not to say this color doesn't exist on other cars but its definitely not the ugly gold use by honda, ford, dodge, etc.

Sorry I go on this rant when my car gets called gold so do all the owners of sunlit sand maximas

Well winter in Chicago hasn't hit hard yet and today was a nice day so I finally took some pics of my rides to share with you guys.

Enjoy!





Two lowered cars are better then one...


The lip on these rims is sexy
