So here is my first photo in this topic. Did not have the time to wash it today, registering the car here is a nightmare #bureaucracy at its finest

Those are the winter rims. Also have the 21" in titanium color but did not have the time ti change them

[RS6chris!]

You don't need winter wheels

Get some decent rubber on the 21s

Proper winter rubber is a legal requirement in some continental European countries innit.

Yes, and that's what the 20" 9.5J standard concave rims are for. These 8" wide ones are awful.

I got them really cheap from the stealer . 750€ 4 rims with 1 year old winter tires.

I don't have the high res versions yet. My friend is still editing them. Here is another pic, this time of the rear.

Having run 275/30/19 winter rubber (on 9.5j/19s) over here, I'd hate to run rubber that wide in proper snow. You'd want at most 245 section on a '6 to cut the snow. Agreed they look poo but probably a necessary for a good implementation of winter rubber.

Just read this for Germany "The law states: In the case of motor vehicles the equipment should be adapted to the weather conditions. This particularly includes suitable tyres. This regulation does not apply to trailers and caravans.
In the event unsuitable tyres are used, a driver is in violation and risks a fine. Moreover, involvement in a traffic accident beyond the own culpability may lead to joint liability as a result of which the civil liability insurance only covers 70 to 80% of the damage in some instances. Use of unsuitable tyres can moreover be considered gross negligence so that the all-risk insurance may become null and void."

Maybe someone could start another tyre thread...

Imagine them trying to make that law in this country!!

No chance

Most people can't afford decent normal tyres!...never mind a set to swap out in the winter.

A few pics from today at RAF Bentwater. Shame the sun wasn't fully out to show off Ascari Blue to its full extent!
