Not really an update, but I'll have a real and proper update tonight, and several the next few weeks.

So, if/when I buy new rims and tires, here's what I plan on getting. ATS Classics, which are pretty popular with the VW crowd. I would get them in size 13x8" with a ET of about 20, I think. Car would sit 3/4" of an inch lower, plus the extra 3" or so I can lower the body after that. So, the car would pretty much be on the ground. I would be going from/to:

205/15/15 Yokohama S.Drives (23.1" x 8.4")
215/50/13 Sumitomo HTR 200 (21.6" x 8.6")



Now, I'm not changing rims/tires anytime soon. These rims are kinda hard to find, and from looking on ebay, they're like $800, plus $200 in tires, plus mounting, balancing, and a alignment. So $1200 for new wheels/tires is kinda out of budget atm.. Would rather spend it on an alarm or quick release, or interior stuff.

Speaking of interior stuff, I'm gonna be re-wrapping the headliner next week. Just gotta barrow a sowing maching and buy some carpet. Gonna roll my fenders in the rear tomorrow afternoon (via PVC Pipe) and paint some tidbits in the engine bay.
