I like the rims, even if people call them "rice." At least your rim
doesn't say "turbo" (Ronal Turbo rims) on it, making every moron and
his brother think your car is eqipped with a turbo. It was funny at
first.....

For coilovers though, I have H&R's on my '79 and I love them. I havn't
driven/rode in any roccos with other coilover setups though so I can't
really compare. I hear Ground Control is nice, you might want to look
into them.
