Better? (Dropped her 1cm front and 2cm in the rear)





I admit it could be a little lower but from this hight on the rear wheel is starting to tilting forward which looks stupid in my opinion. And I don't want to have a rake also. :/

[sally pu]

I kinda like the rake on this car, what kind of vip wheels you have planned for it?

[Nagah]

To be honest: I have no clue. These ones are too "delicate" (I lack the right word for it). This car needs more "thick" ones. But the selection in germany is nothing compared to america or Japan.
But there is still so much to do so that there will be new wheels next year at the earliest.

This thing is begging for widened steelies.

How about these:

rake for a2 sounds kinda ga#...
about the drop: i'm feeling the progress, needs ant least one more cm in both sides
and now about the wheels: as you can't go with anything like ssr xr4 (nor do I, living in east eu sux hard) i suggest you r14 widened steelies with mb w123 hub caps - this would look awesome

Are there any 17" steelies? Because smaller is no option for summer. :>

How about these:

They are awesome but hard to come by in decent condition. They come usually by in heavy used condition for around 500€. But if there is a cheap set I might get weak.

As I said, from this hight onwards the wheel is moving towards the front of the car which looks pretty strange if its static...
Widened steelies with hub caps? I cannot think about how that looks. Do you have a pic?

[iLoveHaters]

Randomly taken eg.




About the wheels moving towards - it's typical on fwd vags, and you almost (propbly every s/w member knows blue vento, but it's an exception) cannot deal with it

[Nagah]

Thanks a lot for the effort to get me some pics! But I guess I stick with non-steelies.
Sometimes I wonder about moving on from 17" to 18" (8x18 is possible with minor modifications) when buying new wheels. But it is fairly more expensive and I don't know if it's worth the 1" more...

[WhiteLove]

Dare RS 8,5 and 10 J x 17 !

oh and drop this bitch... fuck off Tüv oh and i'm from germany too... so dont cry about tüv.

[Nagah]

Dude, I got involved in a crash last year and the guys had a very very close look at my car back then. I would have been in serious trouble if my car wasn't legal back then.
Even being legal, one year later, I am still argueing with the insurance about my money. I don't even want to think about the problems I would have when the car wasn't properly TÜV approved.

But I will check out Dare RS, never heard of them.

---EDIT---

Just checked the wheels. RS said it all.
But this is not an old BMW, I do not feel RS on this one.


I would like to test fit Rota D2 (Work Meister reps) or Rota P45R (but P45R is not available in suitable sizes. ) but there is no one around that has them.
We really need a shop where you can test fit wheels like women and shoe shops! This would be insane!


---EDIT-2---

I am really starting to like kind of those:

[HellSoldier]

Hi Nagah,

Nice car :P i also drive one and i like it it's a bit of pioneering spirit to build an TÜV legal A2. Not much people have done it yet and we are a rare race!

I´m also building one, here a Picture of "Bibo"




I know he could use a little drop but it is fine for me

[Nagah]

Thanks dude! Nice A2.

[MrDanguy]

Very different and definitely cool!
Why 17s though? Slap some 14s on it and ride stupid low.

[Nagah]

Its just because I love big wheels.
(well and because 205/40 R17 is the original wheel size which I can ride without getting it approved by TÜV again.)
(and stupid low is out of question due to daily ride )
