Hi guy's, found this on rs246.de.would like to repicate this setup, are these 19" bimoto's? Also i have h&r coilovers but this seems lower than mine, is my setup adjustable to give me this look ?

Yep, those are 19" polished bimotos. A friend of mine has them. They cost a fortune, they're heavy and buckle often.
The car is too low though, i'd never run mine like that.
Confort=0
Handling=shitty

If i were you i'd stick with 18" wheels.
I used to have 19" BBS CHs on my RS4 with KW V3s (and previously V2s), and i've just gone back to OEM 18".
The difference is astonishing. Way better handling and confort.

If you really want 19" rims i'd choose these (RS6 C6 OEM wheels):

Yeah both of them look awesome,and the 2nd one is Niils.I wouldn't have bimoto's as i've heard they
buckle easy and i've seen them very cheap 2nd hand (probably buckled)
I would love my car lower but i worry about it catching underneath and doing some real damage.

With coilovers you can pretty much go as low as you dare but as andrea said you may comprimise ride
comfort and handling

I have had my bimoto's 2 years now and have done over 12 track days. No buckles for me.

You probably look after yours Dace

I know someone with a set who knocks his car up and down kerbs and wonders why they keep buckling :roll:
