The thing that sucks about living in Chicago is that everything pretty much dies in the winter. I’m not just talking about cars, but life just seems to slow down. I mean, can you you blame us? With snow and freezing temps, all you want to do is stay indoors. Just when I thought I was done with most of my shoots for the year, Tan hit me up on JDMC. I spoke to Tan months ago when he first picked up this lovely set of Work Meister S1’s from my friend Jason. Unfortunately, he wasn’t really able to enjoy the wheels for too long due to an unfortunate “pot hole incident.” After speaking to several wheel repair shops who said they could not fix the wheel, Tan decided to send the wheels to the good guys at Rotiform. They stepped up to the plate and ordered a new rim and refinished the set. Originally fitted on an Acura TL, the 19×9-19×10 Work Meister S1’s were redrilled, and back pads shaved down for et: 27(f) and 32(r). Rotiform also refinished the lips to a brilliant chrome with a matte silver center.
As you can see from the above diptych, fitment is on point! Obviously this is achieved with a air bag suspension system. Tan went through various suspension setups, but settled on a full Airlift air ride system.
Here’s a nice side profile of Tan’s B6 S4 which highlights the amazing stance. Tan has had his S4 for a few years now, but it took him about three months to locate this beauty in Nebraska. You’ll notice some very subtle mods, which is not by chance. Tan has a very clean “modding style.” As a car that needs literally nothing, Tan went with that theme and chose modifications that only enhanced the original lines of the car.
Thanks Tan again for the opportunity to shoot you S4. Hopefully we’ll have another opportunity to shoot this car in the future and focus on the interior/motor/etc. See below for more high res pics. We’ll close out this small feature with a quick mod list:
