    oh you answered his question already.

    i think the overall picture looks good, however i do have an honest question... why did you put staggered wheels/tires on a fwd? i never understood this... is there any gain in handling? or is it purely just to make your car look like a rwd?

    You know...with a Passat, you could fool someone into thinking it was an RWD. Passats have a longitudinally mounted FWD layout...which is uncommon with most modern cars. Longitudinal engine + staggered setup...hah, it almost adds up.

    No gain in handling. Not to make it look rwd, but to make it look better. You put it on for the same reason you put a body kit, 2-tone paint, ect, ect. on a car. To make it look better, stand out more. Show car.

    you guys aren't very perceptive lol... take a look at the number of posts i have and the one the sn that wants to be me has.. also look at the rep bars.

    do you really think a 31 year old is going to act like a 12 year old? well, sometimes, but not in this type of wack humor. you can thank psycho for this. or you can just neg rep him for wasting bandwith.

    The more I see them, the more I like them.

    Wow man...I REALLY like what you've done with your car. I know my jaw would drop if I saw it in person.

    That style is sort of what I had in mind for my car...though I don't want to be a biter!

    Haha, keep it up man...Rollin' in Style for sure.

    I would have too if I wanted something cheap and played out...I have yet to see these wheels on any other Passat, or any other Audi for that matter. I wanted to do something different, and I think these work perfectly for what I was going for.

    thats a horrible suggestion..

    HP wheels are ugly, HP EVO wheels are the ugliest wheels.

    these were perfect for the car.

    Im debating plans for the motor. On one hand I dont know if I want to go BT seeing as the car is a FWD and that just seems kinda worthless. The other part of me just wants to throw at GT2871R on there and have some fun with it...

    I'm late on this, but you're definitely steppin it up Jordan!!! Love the classy look!!! First time I saw your car, I thought it was an Audi from afar. Testament to your modding tastes. Keep up the great work.
