Well, I hope he slapped you once for me! (for getting them) Thats a smoking 
deal and you can always paint the wheels a lime green color to match.... a 
Lime! 
13X8 wheels are damn hard to come by in a size 13, so your one of the lucky 
ones. Sure, all that steel isnt great (Brakes will get hotter) but at least 
your gonna have lots of grippy cornering speed to maintain now. Im suprised Mr. 
Mannix didnt tell you not to buy them and snap them up himself!

The smaller brakes wont hurt your autox times. (Well, it shouldnt) It might 
even make the front end lighter! (Yah, I betcha didnt think of that? eh?) 


>...Oh, what's that?  Mannix put coilovers on his GTI?  Dang.


Ah, just think that they're junk and you will beat hit Rabbit. No problem! Its 
a mind over matter thing.........
