Couldn’t get our M140i off our road last night due to Ice, and that’s with Sotto Zero winters on!

I used to carry a couple of 20kg bags of road salt in the boot in my old 3 series - helped get a bit more traction... and if the tyres failed I could use the salt! :lol:

where you get them looking at 19's for the wife's S3
Yes - I got them here: http://www.ldprestige.com/

Excellent quality alloys and a decent company to deal with... just turn on Google translate on the page (unless your French is good!) :thumbs:

One thing I will say is the seating position in the m2 is near perfect, when i sat in the rs3 it felt so high up, not a problem in the b8 with the bucket seats.

Can't see those wheels any longer but you can check the offset on http://www.willtheyfit.com/

My new wheels are a slightly different offset 43 - the OEM rotors are 53 I believe - and they fit fine :thumbs:
