    Default upgrading my RS

    I've got a couple questions regarding upgrading my 2010 RS.

    1. I want to put SHAMROCK wheels on it. Is that possible en can I replace the front fenders for the newer ones?

    2. I want to upgrade mij front shocks. What are my options?

    Thanks.

    put America first, the Netherlands second

    I have not done that. From what I understand that it can be done. You will need new 15 inch tires to go with the 15 inch rims. There is an offset difference between the 2012 RS - earlier rims and later rims. So that means there will be some adjustment needed to the fenders to center them on the tires.

    and now that you know it is possible we will be waiting for the pictures... you could also get the lower profile tires though the handling is different....

    Here are some "glitz" items you can consider. I did not put any "performance" stuff on either one. I did have special wheels on the 08 though.
