if you keep the volks, get some spacers. they look like they're trying to hide behind your fenders

I like everything about your car but the rims. They look like cheap ebay rims. Do your car a favor and get some rims that match it's style

i didnt buy them brand new im just saying they are in now way cheap. Even the lugnuts that go with them were $160. If i just get them re-polished and get some 15mm spacers, they would look sick. However as much as i like them, id rather have some mesh wheels so there up for sale if anyone is interested?

the wheels make it fail. Sure they're Volks but they could be HRE's for all I care, the fitment kills the look.

Some spacers should really help but its not good atm

Yea the rims would be tight if they were painted gold or maybe a dark gun metal color, and some spacers.

Well I have a spare set of wheels so if these don't sell I will refinish them, powdercoat them blue and add some 15-20mm spacers and make it a diy! However I really want to get rid of these to pay some bills

glad? hell no its been one of the worst experiences ive ever had to deal with. There is nothing good that came out of this, even the actual diminished value money is just to make up for the lost value. i couldn't even wish what i had to go through upon an enemy!
