WHy are there suddenly a bunch of OEM C5 alloys for sale??

There's a goodwood green one on pistonheads with the 18" and non drilled brakes. The 18" option was 9 spokes like a B5 RS4.

The goodwood car was in at our Preston branch for DRC repair a couple of months ago, it's very clean bodily but the natural leather looks a bit odd compared to Valcona.

I stand corrected. Thanks mate. It must look wierd with the b5 rims

Not that bad tbh.

If you remember the (excellent) film Layer Cake, the Avus Silver RS6 Avant featured was actually on the 18" option.

It looked OK, and I wonder if it makes it any more involving in cornering to be able feel "tyre squelch" more with the higher side Walls?

I ran a set of OEM 18s on mine for a while. The main difference is that they are MUCH more comfortable than the 19s. Not much difference in handling otherwise.

Personally, I think the 20" C6 OEM alloys look better on the C5 than they do on the C6, especially as the C5 is a smaller car, so those 20's look ginormous on it! To me, they look stunning!

If only I could afford a set.. they'll have to wait a good while though..

Yeah, what he done just said...

Mee too!

Along with that front end respray, C6 brake conversion, miltek down pipes and zorst, digital TV, and radar jammers that would complete my car!

I'd better go sell my last kidney!
