Poor Devil, how do you endure that, we`re going to be blessed with
single digit temperature and 6 to 10" of snow. No apple pie, just a
dish of caramel ice-cream with a shot of Glenlivet to push it through
my heart. Warm fire and watch Dr Zhivazo so I know how good I got it.
Enjoy

Question:
Has anyone had success changing out 15 inch rims with 16-17 inch rims on a
C-3?
Background: Caught the drag racing bug and will be purchasing some slicks
and want new rims as a package and looking to be somewhat different the rest
of the crowd. Car being utilized: 82 collectors edition.
Thanks,
Bob

I saw a 74 at a car show last week running 17" wheels, the owner said he had
no probs at all..can`t remember the tire size he was using, around 255/45/17
I think..looked nice too, was thining of putting 16"s on my 74......but may
consider 17"s now....

Title: Project Fatality... continued Date: Sat, 26 Sep 2009 20:00:43 +0000 Author: gwerks Well where did we get to then… Last time we updated this project we were wheeling the Audi out of Chris at Kustom Kolors booth after achieving the matt finish we were looking for! This was the Friday before the Players show where the car was to be debuted. Then it all kind of went wrong for a while!
I had this crazy idea that 20’s would work on the car after selling a set of 19″s the same style that week.. How wrong could i of been. Whilst an awesome wheel we just couldn’t get the car down low enough on these wheels once the tyres were mounted ( A story in itself but lets save that one!)
The wheels (20″ Rs4’s with Yoko S-drive’s.)
When test fitted before the tyres we were feeling very smug with ourselves and though we had it nailed oh well you cant win them all, It did look nice though at this stage.
But it wasn’t to be so with a few hours before leaving for the Players show in Essex it was stressful times (For which i apoligise for my grumpyness to everyone). Chris had an Idea…. What about them wheels of Ollies S4… Humm they couldn’t work could they…? At this stage i was stressed and couldn’t even be botherd anymore but after a call to Ollie we pulled one off to give it a try and damm i think we could be out of the shit! Game on for tomorrow we will go to the ball! (I Have to say a HUGE thankyou to Ollie for helping us out!). Getting to the show was stress free with a carfull we arrived at the show to be greated with this! More on: http://gwerks.wordpress.com/2009/09/26/project-fatality-continued/
