Ah, rim width is something I didn't take into account. Thanks.

Re: Getting Some New Wheels
Ok, so...I'm being indecisive like my girlfriend. An opportunity has presented itself. Someone locally is selling a limited edition set of 1552 15"x8" 4x100 VW Snowflake replicas in mint* condition. Tires mounted, never been driven on. Think these would look good on a slammed Aveo? Oh, how I want them so...like these:

Re: Getting Some New Wheels
I honestly am sitting here chewing my nails over it right now...I have the money, but I'm wanting to wait for your coilovers and buy rims later. But how often am I gonna come across these beautiful wheels?...decisions decisions.

Re: Getting Some New Wheels
Nice, yeah Idk. It's probably in my best interest to wait. I think you're right, they might not clear the front...maybe if they had a bit more offset, but then your looking at some body work to make it right. On the other hand though, these would look super sexy on my coupe'. Hmmm...

Re: Getting Some New Wheels
No sooner did I turn this guy down I got offered a set of some super light 15x7.5 Koseis K1's brand new with Kuhmo tires that have one season on them, which I would love to have for Auto-X this summer. He told me $500, but when I countered at $400 and he delivers them he gave me another offer...The full set of Koseis w/tires and an original set of 83-84 VW 14" Snowflakes in decent condition with 1 season old winter tires for 700 bucks together. Decisions, decisions...
I actually like the Koseis K1's too, they are very very light and look good. And he said he'd give me a full set of 16 new lug bolts for VW. I don't need them, but they're good to have around and since he's offereing...lol:

Re: Getting Some New Wheels
Yeah, it seems like a good deal to me. He's gonna call me next friday and let me know if he sells the car they're on. If he doesn't he'll sell me the wheels. I think I'll buy em' both and see if I can get him down a little bit if I trade him my 13" steelies with winter tires that are on my coupe' right now.
