Not as bad as I would have imagined, but still too ricey for my taste. To each their own though, sounds like you got a great deal!

As far as the rice comment, i think you need to look up the definition of rice...

here you go


umm rims / euro plate (im from europe) / silvervision turnsignals?

here's audi rice

more

well, you're pretty close.

You are following the rice philosphy.

The turnsignals are a dead giveaway.

Nice ride though, please don't muck it up anymore.


they are stock oem headlights with silvervision bulbs. The european headlights are entirely clear and light up orange. Since the us spec headlight dont have the little cover things the corners always come out amber because of the bulbs. I got a set of silver vision bulbs to get the amber out and still light up orange....whoopedy fvcking do :roll:

rice philosophy is to make your car look like it's faster than it is. That is big ass fart can, stickers left and right and wings off commercial jets.

Lately there's been a wave people that call everything left and rice, im guessing because theyr either can't afford the stuff or just prefer their stock gonna-have-a-midlife-crisis-soon camrys. I'm not trying to make car look fast or anything. It's a 4 door sedan... i got my rice rocket for that purpose. I suggest you look up what a stock non-sport package a4 looks like and then tell me if it looks better than my car

Your WHEELS look great, I think they suit the car.

However, you're right that it does need lowering to get rid of that gap between the wheels and the arches.

I like five spoke designs. I don't think I'm ever likely to get any that big though.

You know what you want! Yo, can't decide
Column A, column B, I like fried
Barbeque spareribs, my fingers I'm lickin
Waitin' for the main course, Kung Pao chicken
Spicy! I mean hot like a stir fry
If you can't take it, order Moo Goo Gai
Pan! Means chicken and mushrooms
While you're on the soup, the food is here too soon
No substitute and betcha get hot tea
They say vegetable but that means snow pea

If I get desert, yo I deserve it
Check out the chow while the waiter serves it

Rice rice baby...
Rice rice baby...

You're eating sweet and sour
But you'll be hungry in less than an hour
Use chopsticks it don't, it don't matter
Fingers were made for a pu pu platter
Egg-rollin, with egg foo young
My dinner is cookin' like Connie Chung
Noodles on standby, chow mein nearby
Eggdrop? No, I'm a wonton soup guy
Soy sauce, hot mustard smokin'
My plate is clean and my fortune cookie broken
Bustin a bite of Mongolian beef
Got a mint toothpick for my teeth
Takeout, leftover lo mein
If I eat any more I'll have a weight gain

If I get desert, yo I deserve it
Check out the chow while the waiter serves it

Rice rice baby...
Rice rice baby... to go

:thumbsup: :laugh:MAO!!!

i dont understand all the rice comments..

me neither. some of these people obviously haven't seen some of the real ricers in california, note: bay area. i think the car looks perfectly fine, i agree lowering it would make it look better though.
 

I remember the original post about how you fixed it up, kudos to you. :thumbsup:

i think rice also includes cosmetic changes that actually make a care look uglier. i think that those rims are ugly and don't match the styling of the a4, but then again it's not my car so i really don't give a sh!t.

i like the mille miglia evo5's better. you get yours used?

looks awright. like you said, you got the 4x4 style going on... drop it, tint it and itll be hot.

Um, most A4s are pretty slow.

No offense, but I didn't know they made rims that try to look like $15 Shopko hubcaps

Personally, I prefer the "dish" wheel, that curve to the inside, not the outside.

meh,
a4s are made out entirely out of organic lines... not sure how those rims would clash with the b5 shape...

I didn't wanna get ricer thin 5 spokes or some deep dish bbs knock offs and ride around as if my car was a GT tourer. Especially since the audi makes marginally more hp than my bike. These rims look classy as hell and for 550 shipped w/tires i can't compain.

I got neuspeed race springs in my garage right now, though i think i'll have to go with something less drastic. Those things drop non-sport b5s over 2" which would be little pass my ghetto trashhold

i'm not familiar w/ auto terminology, so don't really know what "organic lines" means. although i think the price for the wheels+tires is great, and that the rims might awesome for your taste, saying that they are classy is a stretch. although preferences change from person to person, i think everyone can agree on elegance and class - i'm willing to bet you won't get many people saying that those rims are classy.

Don't listen to the idiots. I think it looks nice and if you're happy with it, that the whole point.
