Got new shoes for the B...

Weds Bvillens TS-VIII all chrome. 18x9 -6 F and 18x10 -18 R. The front are -1 and rear are -3 more offset than the Meisters, but I don't see a fitment issue with them. Putting 215/35F and 235/35R on tomorrow. Will post more pics when they are on the car.

Had to cut another 1" out of the stock wheel wells to get them in there. But now I can air it all the way down, I couldn't with the Meister (only 15"). But still doesn't go quite as low as before. :( All well.

215/35 on 9" in front.

235/35 on 10" in rear.

you can flip the top hats in the front for about 1/2" more, and extend the hub mounts for the rear to make it sit higher.

Yeah, I searched for a few weeks before deciding on these. Looked at 17's, but couldn't really find any I liked with the correct offsets and widths. I rolled around town on them tonight. The more times I got out and looked at it, the more I liked them. Growing on me.

I like them, they look really big (height and width) for the box...and I don't feel like they flow well with the rest of the styling you have going on. but gorgeous wheels non-the-less.
