My wideopens will be on all four corners until he gets something else to replace them, the 6uls have definitely seen better days.
But I'm not putting my good wheels and tires on with that much toe
They'll be on all four corners tomorrow, when he brings me a non-bent spindle assembly.

Yes, unfortunately I never did get pictures, beyond Jack getting a ride to the vet in it.
Ed and I agree, it's just a little too much clubricer.
He's supposedly getting his RS3s mounted and an alignment today. Since he works at a Mazda dealership, he can actually get work done on it instead of waiting for a day off.

Yup. They look pretty good IMO but definitely a bit clubricer.
I will be having the RS3's taken off the old wheels today, but I can't have them installed on the konigs because I don't have the MSM with me. I can't bring the wheels AND the MSM on the same day, and I didn't have time to unload the car last night.
SO... planning on doing the tire swap and alignment tomorrow. I think. So indecisive.

Test fitted Martin's FFDs. I almost didn't go because I've never liked the monochrome look. I thought I needed contrast so thought it might be a waste of time.
Got a front on and realized it was gonna look really good.
So, I'm gonna buy some and mount them. I feel like the style fits the car perfectly. The wheel style makes the wheels look a little larger, which I like, and it looks very OEM in my opinion.
What think all of you?

Lol... ah ok. At this point I'd be looking for a stock trunk without any holes, but I'll probably just pull my spoiler and plug the holes and call it good for now.
At least until I fix the rear quarter panel

FINALLY got two wheels mounted. Yup they rub bad in the back. No rubbing in the front yet, but haven't driven aggressively. Hoping to roll the fenders this weekend.
Pics (too many, probably, but
)
rear
front
oooooo...
moar
Still too much rear camber IMO. Alignment hasn't been done yet.
