97.34% For These Wheels on my Jetta

[Fluidic]

Well... time is closing for my selection of wheels. As some of you know, I'm running on winter tires right now, and well, it's tarnishing my ego. I think I'm 97.34% sure I'm going to be purchasing these wheels (that is if I can sell my LB's ASAP).

Same color car, I will have the same drop -- but my rear tail-lights are smoked and I have window-tint all around. 18x8" O.Z. Superleggera's.

:D

Nice! Looks good to me!

[FiveFreshFish]

Have you considered BBS CH? Looks sweet on Audis and Dubs, IMO!

[Fluidic]

Yep -- I sure have -- however, at this time, that is not an option due to the price. Maybe on another car in the future (BMW 3 series).

Very nice choice.

You might want to look at R.H. Evo C2's. They're similar to BBS's... and very nice. I like these type's of rims on VW's and Audi's.

[Redlyne_mr2]

Looks awesome Peter

A lot of guys ahve that rim on jettas already. If I were you I would look into F1Cups ... They look way better IMO. The manager had them on his TT and they look damn sharp.

[Fluidic]

I just e-mailed the seller -- let's see what he says!! :D

There are only a few Jetta's in town with these wheels -- and one of these "Jetta drivers" is selling them -- hopefully to me. The color "white" on a Jetta/Golf/GTI is no-more, so I have a one in a kind car/color combo -- and with these wheels -- even more so.

Cheers!

Well if you have to buy new you should seriously look into the OZ F1cups. I wanted them but no offset for me.

[Fluidic]

I thought the F1cups were no longer sold by O.Z. and/or it's resellers? Rob, can you confirm this?

Let me start scouring websites.

[tegdream]

Hopefully not anymore since I might be buying these wheels from someone in the VW Jetta crowd. What's really played out is stock wheels. LOL

Peter

[4wheeldrift]

What really played out is the term "played out". As long as you are happy with how the wheels look, who cares about what anyone else thinks?

[szw]

Hey what prices are you getting on those?

The cheapest i've found are at 1010tires or tiretrends, i forget which one.

They're both out of vancouver I think

[ExtremeSi]

:thumbsup: Superleggeras are among my favorite wheels of all time. I dont think they'll ever get old.

[92 Teg-B18A]

that's an excellent choice Peter! Superleggera's are the bizzomb :D

BTW your sig is sweet :)

[Fluidic]

I'm still deciding if I'm getting these wheels -- but chances are, I am. I will keep everyone in the loop. Someone help me sell my Longbeach wheels ( http://forums.beyond.ca/showthread.php?s=&threadid=14282 ).

Thanks! :D

Peter

[VWhooligan]

they look nice peter, but honestly, they are too common. if you're going to make a big investment like this, why not go for something that will stand out. ive made this mistake before in buying common wheels, and wont do it again.

btw, i dont think you're going to get $1500 for your longbeaches. even with brand new rubber. you can get audi TT 17" wheels with rubber for the same or less

btw2, go with what you really want, if you really want the superleggera, do it! they will look great guarenteed!

[Fluidic]

I'm asking $1300 for my wheels -- and brand new at the dealership they are alot more then $1500 CDN. lol

Peter

[VWhooligan]

no one cares about the price of brand new wheels from a dealership. the dealership always rapes for OEM items.

I agree -- damn dealerships. :werd:

Peter

[VWhooligan]

i have to say though, your wheels look like they're in great condition, so good luck with the sale.

dont let your ego rush you into a sale though.

no kidding, i think the price on my OEM wheels are something stupid like 800 bucks EACH.

[air_mikey]

damn those rims you want to get are sooo nice. i hope you can sell yoru rims soon so that you can buy those oz's.

[Fluidic]

Thanks man. Time will tell, time will tell. :bigpimp:

Peter

[Tuner1]

F.D, I think the OZ Supers are the way to go. They look great and are much lighter than the other wheels you are considering.

Rob

[Fuji]

Superleggera III's!!!!!!! mmmmmm even nicer!

[Gondi Stylez]
