Default 2001 1.8t A4 - New Summer Wheels

Just got these on a week ago, 18 inch TSW Sakata 5's. Tell me what you guys think. Also, is it worth gettin the car lowered for the summer? It'd probably look really fresh, but being in Ottawa I'd need to get it heightened again for winter.







Also lookin into xenon headlights and a new exhaust

I really like the wheels - very classy.

On my B5, I swapped out my OEM sport shocks for Neuspeed Bilsteins and added a rear sway bar - the handling improved immensely (not to
mention the look). Frankly, unless you're slammed you can keep the car lowered through our Ottawa winters and still not have an issue
(obviously you should be using snow tires!). I don't have a pic of the B5 lowered but here's my B6 at approx. 25" ground to fender height
(ran it that height through winter):

Due to a deal I cut with Startup Racing my B7 is set at 25.5":

Alright sick, any suggestions on where I should get some good coilovers for the car? I agree that it sits pretty high.
