with a slightly different purpose.... i want 15x8 wheels with 225/45/15 Toyo R1R ... for better gearing ratio.
I like your style sir!

Not sure how well 15x8 will work, you will probably need a pretty crazy offset as some people were saying they had rubbing on the inside with the steering knuckle IIRC. Either way if you do it before me let us all know how they go!
ditto!

Not sure how I feel like running something like this although if they are torqued down properly they should be fine I would think. Anyone have any experience with these?
Since they're not going to be on track wheels... I'd run em. I never do more than 65-70 on the street/highway anyway. I'd just check em week to week to make sure they're tight (which I have a feeling they will be). I'm gonna pick up the Avus' this weekend and order tires and the lugs I posted. Flat Black VW and/or myself will post our findings.
