Pascal,

it'd be hard to notice that the holes are differently drilled, I didn't notice it on my Konigs...

As for the car, looks awesome, but good grief it must ride like shiz. With my Konis and Eibachs, my car is a rattle box with measly 17s.

Hope you don't hit a pothole.

Justin, the Axis Muse look beautiful. Very nice design.

John

hmmm....nice. like the se7en's, like the muse....might have to look into those myself. i'd be willin' to bet they offer 'em in a 5x114.3 bolt pattern (i.e., RSX-S pattern - see sig). i agree w/ JVT that 19's are more than a bit much (for me) - but if you're into the show thing, 's'all good. too heavy and too rough a ride for MY every day driver, but they do LOOK great!

I don't know about the rough ride... My best friend's 1.8t GTI rides on Racing Hart 19" rollers... and rides just sweet... I have a feeling the chassis on his 2001 GTI with all the braces he added is so much stiffer than the one on our cars that the suspension gets to work much better. Bilstein PSS9 coilovers don't hurt either.

I think us Contique owners might not have hit the best setup yet... Maybe the Leda kit would work well?? Same price as the PSS9...

I not a big fan of 19" wheels but you car looks sweet!

Pascal,

I see now! I wasn't thinking before. So how hard would it be to convert to a 5 bolt pattern, also how much? Would it mess up anything?

Man I love those wheels! (Muse)

I ATTEMPTED to photoshop them on my car:

Justin, stay with your old wheels. They already look good.

Thanks

I'm looking at buying wheels when I don't even have the money to pay for them. Just dreaming mostly.

Thanks for the compliment

When I seen those axis se7ens. I did the same thing!

Justin, not bad that photoshop job! Actually, I don't think it looks any better than your current wheels.

Gotta dump dat ride tho! Did your suspension tributations (sp?) get you anywhere? What did you buy?

Oh, forget about 5 lugs. Any adapter isn't much of a good idea... maybe fitting everything from a Taurus would work but what a headache making the driveshafts match up! Just my .02$ on that one of course...

Well haven't got any suspension yet. But I'm working on it. I have narrowed my choices down and I know I really need to lower the ride BAD. But funds are running low and I recently was laid off (Lucent Tech.) and I'm still in college so until I can find another P/T internship or job, I'll have to make due with the current suspension.

Which I really want to change bad, and not only for aesthetic's, it handles ok but I find the stock suspension ROLLS entirely too much around turns.

Anyways I'll either be getting the BAT matched Kit or koni's and coilovers. Just depends on my $ situation when I make the decision.

Thanks for the help w/ the 5 lug deal. I am going to chill with my wheels for a while. I just have some curb scrapes I would like to get fixed, and one very slightly bent wheel I need to get reshaped. But again won't be able too until I get some bling bling!

Thanks
