Getting Some New Wheels

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

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:

i had a set of those pass through my hands.. not sure if the 8" would fit in the front..loved the wheels though.

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.

in alaska? not very often. brad from 1552 actually worked with a few locals (assholes) making custom wheels..

er, did i mention the whole first name basis thing...?

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...

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:

[Petrified.Rabbit]

those koseis would be good for my autoX season too...

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.
