18" rims, no slam???

[Ringo]

Be honest guys.  Do I really even have a choice here?  If I throw a set of these



on the stock S4 without having a dropped suspension is the gap going to look like sh;t?  Is this the chicken and egg thing?  Should I just get the wheels and by having them on force myself to get the coil-overs as well?

BTW-I'm pretty much stuck on the five spoke (call me old fashion if you wish) but if anyone can think of nice five spoke that I might like better please speak up.

I say you have to have suspension. In fact, I would go with the suspension first. AWE has a nice combo HR/Billstein for around $700.

I always assumed that 18's on the stock suspension would look bad...but they look okay on Brian (Selkie)'s car IMO.

As for a 5-spoke rim, I highly recommend the Oettinger RE's...so clean.  ;D

I forgot about Brian's. His looks pretty good.

Thanks guys  8)

I haven't taken any pics yet otherwise I'd post 'em.  I have the Kahn RS-S 18s and I think they look good with the stock suspension.  Here's a pic of them on Carmen's car.  I think that he has the stock suspension here:
