Not pot hole safe, but makes me like the idea of replacing my 94 with a 99 or 00 in a couple of years





This last pic looks like it's been lowered too far.

It looks as if it has an adjustable suspension because it looks higher in some others.....

This post is not Brian-safe.....

I believe that Q has an airbag suspension, similar to this one (they're not the same):

That car is clean! Euroline Dish wheels are very sexy. It looks exactly like mine with different wheels. Same grille, but he took the badge off. I thought I may be the only person in the U.S. with that grille, but at least he's on an island

Not pothole safe huh? I don't know about y'all, but pot holes will not dictate what or how I drive. I drive what I want and work around the potholes. I guess potholes are a major concern for some people though. Guess the roads here aren't too bad (they actually suck).

Right, it's just how you drive,but once you trash a $2k chromed 18" a on pothole, I don't think I'll ever try to do a same set up again (lowered & lowprofile tire). My next wheel will be 17" at largest.

In 6 years of driving larger OD wheels and low pro tires, I've bent 2 lips. Nothing Jesus at LAX Wheel Refinishing can't make disappear. Again, this is just where people are different. I'll take the chance that I *may* bend a wheel, but I probably won't because I'm careful.

Found it on another forum. Guy in HI was selling the rims ($2500 Work's w/out tires). ON the page with these pics was LOTS of pics of him and his friends in (what looked like) Japan.

Falk, I know it looks like yours, but the huge mono-block rims are more to my tatse.

I posted the pics for everyone's enjoyment.

I wasn't saying anything bad about you posting it, just pointing out that with those rims, my car would look almost the same. I love the monoblock rims too! I'm sure my wheels will not be my only set. And as part of "everyone" I enjoyed seeing the car too!!

Yeah, sorry that didn't come out right. I took no offense, just didnt' want to offend you.

I've liked some of the AE's I've seen, but this gave me a different perspective.
