1. Why are my wheels different than others sold on this forum? They arent a tilted spoke (like others & p5)... they are straight spokes.

2. I am getting a horrible high pitched squeak coming from what sounds like my brake rotors... ? I recently got a brake job (new ceramic pads & rotors etc) and had to take it back TWICE over a really odd "clunk" every time i stopped (one revolution of the wheel = huge clunk sound). So after the second time, thew clunking stopped and then after about 3 days it developed this sqeuak that gets more consistant as i speed up. like it starts out with large intervals of time squeakkk.........squeakk....... squeakk.... squeeak. (its very high pitched... like eek eek eek) haha

3. i am purchasing msp wheels from another member. i know the car will look funny. and i will need it to be lower.. what suspension are you other people who ride on 17s with an es sporting? i want a very mnild drop that wont sacrafice too much ride quality

I know I have more question, but I am already pushing it. :) Thanks everyone.

Are your wheels 5-lug pattern or 4?

As for the first question, I'd have to answer that after you posted a picture of your wheels :)

Those are the 03 wheels. I have the polished version of that on my 2003.5 p5.

Well, I am gonna get the tread life out of these until i put on the new ones. but i will give them away.. a few have bad curbs so they arent worth anything. if you need any extras let me know. probably wont be for a little while though.

EDIT : Me too. :)
