xtremerevolution Posted May 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Spreadsheet had a glitch, so I fixed it and got some new numbers. I also updated the mileage and a couple new parts I just bought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ns87 Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Nice. I had done that with my CS a while back, but it looks like you made out a lot better than I did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to keep the regal around to have a w-body to drive to our meets when I get back to Chicago, haha! Only 200,500 miles, and virtually no rust. I have a long way before this car goes to the scrapper.

RareGMFan Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 More pics of the wheels: http://www.w-body.com/forum/index.php?topic=78428.30 That.......is freaking awesome!! It's seldom I see non-stock wheels complement a car that well, but those just look like they were meant for the body lines of that car! Did you have to do anything with them as far as clearance? Any rubbing at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtremerevolution Posted May 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 no rubbing or anything. they are the perfect offset. at 17x8, they're just the right size too. I too was amazed at just how well they fit. who would have thought audi rims would work so well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
