Thanks CV. Yes still stock motor, sadly (or not I guess). Still going strong. Let me know what you need from me. I actually have an older flash loader still. Unused.

Testing out the advans. Not really in love with them.refinish them in silver most likely.

I love the look of those wheels, car looks great…
Thanks man. I’m not 100% sold. Color, style, ride height, but it just hasn’t all come together yet for me. I’m going to drop it slightly next weekend to see if I like it better but I’m very hesitant to do so because I don’t like an overly low car for practicality reasons. Will post results.
Hard to beat BBS CH on that car. That’s the problem.
True. Looks wise I agree. They are a bit heavy though. Oh well.
There is something about those black Advans on an Imola that I just love!
Thanks monty. I guess I like silver wheels better, but I’m going to take the car down a little. As far as I can without any rubbing issues. I think it will look better but I’m not going to sacrifice functionality solely for looks. If I can’t find a happy medium I am removing them.
OK, lowered it about a half inch. Looks much better IMO and no rubbing at 25 gtf. Let it settle reassess then realign.

Not that it matters, but they are actually a dark gun metal. Might as well be black though.
Yeah, I’m generally not a fan of black wheels (atleast they look black in the photo ;)) but the color contrast with the Imola body and the black wheels just looks so nice IMO. I also like black wheels on Nogaro as well. But it definitely takes away from the design (look) of the wheel when they are a super dark color.
Oh and the current ride height looks perfect BTW! That’s a very sharp looking s4 you have there.
Now I guess its time for $220 worth of center caps. F me, hahaha. Oh well. Need to make sure and order version that clears the hub though. Unfortunately the flat caps offered won’t and I’ll need to opt for more extended. Probably go with silver caps to try and make em pop a little more.
For reference http://www.evasivemotorsports.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=ADVAN-CC
They have full flat, flat and middle caps. I’m 99% sure full flat won’t work, 50/50 on the flat and pretty certain the middle will safely clear.
you can’t get something generic and paint it?
I’ve looked. Trust me. Blank 73 mm center caps are nowhere to be found. I absolutely would if I could find them. Slap on some 4-ring decals and call it good. I cannot source any though?
It looks like some caps for mercs might work. But they are flush fit and I need some depth to clear the center hub / nut
Ordered a set. F it. Got the hyper black (match the window trim, owning it along with amber corners). Wheels aren’t black so didn’t want black caps and the silver may be too stark contrast.

Lowered a tiny bit more, no rub under spirited foothills cruise. Aligned / balanced this week.
Threw on the center caps. They’re huge. Just not used to 73 mm center bore I guess
No Fly Zone from Saturday. Good times

maybe plastidip those grey
The wheels? Na. Maybe powder coat them down road. They’ve grown on me.
no man the caps. They stick out like sore thumbs being white/silver on nice dark wheels.
Wheel colour is awesome.
Oh! Hahaha! Too funny. You know I went with that “hyper black” as the silver are even lighter and the other option was black (which the wheels are actually dark gun metal). Besides they match the window trim. Ha!
A little exterior cf accent. Ordering b/c pillars and that should help tie it all together. Goes good with the dark gm wheel color imo
