I'm rather keen on the 19" Sportec Mono's. Does anyone know how they compare weightwise to the standard 18's?

Bout the same from memory - think the 18"s are slightly lighter than oem but don't look as good IMHO

Cheers Andiroo. Definitely agree, if I was going to change my 18's, I'd definitely go for 19's.

I must be the only person here who has kerbs to park beside. The standard tyres are the lowest profile I have ever driven with and with zero overhang of the rims I am thinking of taking shares out in my local wheel restorers.

Know what you mean Paul, number of times KFC trips cost me 35 quid or so :oops:

Go on Jarv, you know it makes sense :wink: 19" still the best looking rim for an RS4 B5 or B7 IMHO. They also do them in anthracite and various other colours. Be really interested to see the 20" on a B7.

Yeh but I'm not......love the look and got used to the difference in handling now!

Always park 2 foot from the kerb though
