yea i know someone getting the 360 forged wheels and I got the name of a sick CF guy who could do it but it would cost me about the same as another set of volks. I will see how this season turns out with my revamped setup and maybe make the CF plunge in the future.

i believe he went with such wide tires because he does auto x and wanted good grip. that is the reason i think he went with such beafy tires. i don't believe he's going for low and slow

SO yea, Ive decided I'm not getting those CF 360 Froged wheels. I'm either getting Advan RSs or a set of WadsSports SA-90s in black chrome.

yup, you got it! to me, the car sits pretty low so i'm happy with the looks. i still rub every once in a while, but its not too bad. i decided to keep my old wheels so there's still the option of putting my current tires on my old wheels (and use those for auto-x) and buy narrower tires for the works and lower it a tad bit more. however, i don't feel like spending any more money right now, lol. maybe a few months from now.

also, how do you guys feel about me powdercoating them? it wouldn't be for another year or so but its just that the finish is kinda boring to me (matte grey steel). i really liked the hyper black finish on my old wheels and wouldn't mind getting it powdercoated that color.

Hey Ben, how bout these wheels?

Abflug Gran Revolfe Prism

I will put money on the fact that if you wanna be a one of a kind tC these wheels with help that. I've never seen them on a tC. Hell, I've never seen them in the US.

So thats rare and the $3959 price tag makes them expnensive as hell.
