Thanks everyone, you know how to make a guy feel welcome here.

Anthony, plans are to keep her stock, get some winter tires, and enjoy the hell out of her! Nice car list by the way!

Forgot about those wheels for a minute. Be careful though if you do go with them they are known to crack and will need spacers. I believe there is two different versions actually to try to fix the cracking issue.

Got any links to yours? I'd like to see some other EBs.

So far as the 16"s go, it's no problem. I'll just get some 17" tires (what's the thinnest I can run on the stock wheels without getting into the VW "stretch" look?) and get some summer wheels next year.

hey, congrats on the purchase!
you can run 225's on your stock wheels, but i'm not too sure about 215's with the stretch though.

Beautiful car, love the color.

Lovin the 300M Special too, I have a regular 300M and its a pretty decent car, wish I had the Special though! Sets the car off sooo nicely.
