They are very different, I think they show the arches of well.
I guess they are an expensive wheel?

Agree they are different, I wanted some that were easy to clean, show off the boxy arches and to be a little different

They also reminded me a little of the original Gallardo rims which I love

They look good really shows the arches off well, gives it a nice boxy look
They look well finished

The more i keep going back and looking at the photos the more i like them.
Really suits the car and I think the car sits well, looks spot on actually,
Good choice, I like them a lot.

Any rear side shots?

Can you share the specs of the wheels like width and offset? Thanks.

Sure guys, The suspension (Coil overs) was supplied and fitted by MRC (KW) beforehand. Love it the best mod I have had fitted to the car.

The wheels I bought from STANCED UK in Wokingham. They are manufactured by 3SDM and are the .008 model. They are 20 x 9.5 and also come in 20 x 10.5 (was thinking of the wider fitment for the rears). They only cost me £ 1,080.00 which I think is a bargain.

Hope this helps, will get more pics at the weekend

I'm interested in the coil overs, I had them on the b7 and thought it transformed the turn in and out of bends at speed massively, how do you find them on the b8?

Fantastic, works well with the Audi Dynamic Drive settings, soft is a little softer and nice for munching the miles, dynamic is really firm but the car doesn't crash along as it did in Dynamic in standard Audi form, Hey its much better now that I have put my rear parcel shelf back in which used to creak badly all the time.

With the setup MRC put in place, the car turns in much sharper and has reduced the under-steer. It's really good couldn't recommend it enough. As will all these things it's about getting them properly fitted and setup to get the best results. Again we could have lowered the car but it is my daily driver and I am doing 28,000 miles per annum in it so had to be fairly sensible.

hope that makes sense

That's great!! Really interesting to hear your thoughts, I'm no doubt at some point going down this route, as I find it hard to dial in something that works well with what's on offer
