I am usually a hater for those type of styles, but for some unknown reason, I like your set up. Maybe it has to do with the brand and quality of the wheels, legit Volks. *shrug*

Yeah once I get the spacers on and lower stance they will be super sick. But strangely enough everyone in person loves them

I wasn't totally feeling them at first but now I love them all cleaned up.

phrenetiK, what size wheels and tires are you running in the front? They look really narrow, Im not sure if it is because of the staggered look, or what.

Yes sir, I was installing Bilstein coilovers on a Nordic green yesterday and me and the guys were all talking about what looks good and what doesn't and saying how funny it is how our opinions all vary.

Yeah, I didn't want to be another VR with black rims and a chrome lip.

They are nice and the people who know of them comment. I did see a knock off of these rims at my friends tire shop and they were not even close in detail and quality.

Yes sir, near the new Alamo draft house. It was a rushed shoot because I had someone in the car getting bored,
