Guest imported_El Mamerro Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 That means they're at least at Level 6 Mage and can perform basic Lightning Spells and Heal. Note: You may need to acquire the Staff of Undurin to perform some Lightning Spells. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRAMP Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 ctrl v offset The offset of a wheel is the distance from the mounting surface of the wheel to the true centerline of the rim. A positive offset means the mounting surface of the wheel is positioned in front of the true centerline of the rim / tire assembly. This in effect brings the tire in to the fender well more. Conversely, a negative offset means the mounting surface of the wheel is behind the true centerline of the rim / tire assembly. This will cause the tire to stick out away from the vehicle. http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=149042 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRAMP Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 IMO, All the holes in universal wheels are lame, the dish looks good...Are these going to work with the styling of your car? Do you know the weight? did you ever get your suspension? Seeks, what are your plans for your dub, I'm curious. -twentyquestions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seeking Posted April 13, 2004 Author Share Posted April 13, 2004 they're going on a 03 jetta. they look alot like the oem BBS rims off the wolsfburg, but 2" bigger. they're 18x7.5, 21lbs each. teh stock center caps can probably be replaced with vw ones.

seeking Posted April 13, 2004 Author Share Posted April 13, 2004 dude, i forgot tires were expensive as hell too. i'm used to bullshit cars that you can get some '4 tires for $99' deal on. these bitches seem to be starting at about $110. WACK. that would bring my new wheel purchase up to about a G, which im not prepaired to do at this time. bogus. i need to go steal some rims.

nomadawhat Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 The rims are ok. they just look like the rims on half the vw's and bmw's on the road. but i have been shopping for rims and its hard to find an affordable pair that isn't seen alot....or isn't gay, cheap, ugly or too blinged. but they do look good on the bmw's and vw's.

MrChupacabra Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 its all about the nice looking rims that are super flashy. I'm a big fan of the darker shades of metal rims on cars with dark paint. Getting rims that are just super flashy usually ends up looking ridiculous, granted, there are some situations where chrome looks really nice, but for the most part i'm not the biggest fan of it.
