Should I do it? '99 Audi A4 1.8 Turbo Quattro?
Sorry I've been MIA for so long! The S80 is still running good with a few minor issues I'm going to post in the appropriate places here in a bit. She's got 240k miles now!
Here's what I got going on. I have an '03 Ford Explorer Sport Trac XLT 2x4 with 64k miles on it that I am probably going to trade for a '99 A4 1.8T Quattro with 98k miles on it. Blue book prices are about the same with the Audi just a bit lower. The timing belt and water pump were recently changed around 80k and it seems to be in pretty good shape. I know, I know, you can't calssify them all in the same group; Audi's are German, Volvo's are Swedish, etc. I just want some opinions on what I may be getting myself into. If it's worth it. ETC.. Any and all suggestions are greatly appriciated.

RE: So I do it?
Shopping for wheels for my Audi (sorry). I plan on lowering it with the Eibach 1.5" springs. Here are a couple of the sets of rims I've been looking at. Any thoughts, suggestions?

These look pretty good on the car, since it is all black:

and I like how the polished lip actually sits back in some. I am going to go with a different headlight and tail light setup then what is on the car above though.
