If you buy a set of wheels they should come with new lugs. And yes chances are stockers won't work. Are you getting OEM Honda Rims? might want to get a set of OEM chromish lugs. Im sure the stock steel ones would look awful

New wheels are used (no lugs I bet). Not Honda rims.

yeah I would reccomend looking into getting some aftermarket ones, I'm willing to bet the stockers won't work because they are too short. Best bet would be to do some checking with the wheel manufacturer to find a lug that will work. I've seen some bad stuff happens, Lugs arent just lugs. Lol remember that.

Freeride, on the A4 there is a service mode for the frt clip to be put into. The entire frt clip will slid forward to service the motor. really easy to do. FYI

G8! 6.0L V8, 360HP. How can you go wrong? Screw the S4!

The S4 is a toilet compared to that car...

Mike, get the STI.....Fing killer car...and black too! right on....


Dan, carefull buying someone elses problems. If you buy a car that's already been turbo swapped and stuff, you know the car was beat on (at least some of the time). Audi's are road raced alot too so you have these cars for sale that the previous owner had at the track every weekend. carefull!

S4's are awesome cars but buy one from a business man or older person who didn't beat on it. Private sale.....

the g8's are really nice looking and seem to be a good car so far. If you want the ultimate luxury with decent speed and just plain bad ass, Pick up a used maurader!

Sorry it's the ford in me lol

Absolutely. Any car I look at will likely be private sale and gone over with a fine tooth comb. On the other hand, some of the people that are hard on their cars (the true enthusiasts) often do a lot of preventive maintenance and take really good care of them. It can really go either way.

S4 and S60R are looking like the most realistic cars for me to be considering. I would love to get into a Supra but the NA ones are slow and the Turbo ones are $20k+. When I can afford a toy someday a Turbo Supra will be near the top of the list. So hot.

Just make sure your not driving with a friend in the passenger seat and your dad is a famous wrestler.

I don't know why I keep looking at Supras. They are growing on me.... but I know that I couldn't fit shit in them. (MAYBE 2 bikes inside if I were lucky and I don't think it's a bike rack worthy car. So hot though.....
