Thanks for all the comments guys. Adapters and lips have been ordered. Sealed up both 8's. Lips and adapters should be there when I get home from this trip. Wheels should be on by the end of next week.

Final specs. 16x8 + 10 .5" lips, 16x9 +3 2.5" lips.

Picked up some koni coilovers for 150$ and some fat 5's on the cheap for the daily

Couple updates here. Rs's came. They look really good in this picture, but the lips are completely trashed.



Split all 4 wheels



Painted the faces gold, hand polished two of the .5 in lips that will stay on the 8" wide wheels. Crazy how you can take an oxidized shitty lip and make it look like a mirror with some time.



Picked up a brand new set of Falken 512 205/40/16s from a local guy. Falken actually discontinued this tire in this size so it was nice to come upon a set because they stretch so well.

Soaked the bolts/nuts in coke to remove the shit on them. Now, just waiting on 2.5 in lips for the rear and ill seal em up and mount them. Also need to order adapters but that will come soon as well.

Picked up a new daily. Traded my civic for it. Mk4 4 door golf. ill post some updates as it comes along a little. Lips for the Rs's are 2-3 weeks out, as well as adapters. No worries though as the only big event left is H20 for me, and thats a while from now.



Ill keep updating.

Looks dope, but NEEDS to have either plastic bumpers or euros. Or atleast tuck the diving boards.

Saw you driving around at EuroHangar, love the car man!!! Had no idea you were from Cbus.

You going to GAB on Sunday?

Saw you at both events haha. MK5 looks awesome man. Sits so nice on the gottis. Everyone else thanks for the comments.

Wheels are sold, back on my old 17's. Purchasing these guys tomorrow. Will be relipped/refinished to 16x8/16x9. Also going 205/40 all the way around. Should set the front lip on the ground.



So look for some updates here in the next couple days of the RS build up, until then a couple more pictures.

Euro hangar again, should see some here soon from German Auto Bash.



Talking to the owner of the E30 next to me haha. He didnt know what to think of it being bagged.
