This is the sort of concave look I was after and what inspired me to change wheels:

I was sick in my mouth a little bit.

Mike, likin' the RS4 saloon - what are the specs of the wheels and tyres?

@ Shop - clearly you have no taste... :D :assflash:

Mart
It's Luke's car from Plush Automotive.
I think the wheels on the front are 360 Forged Mesh 8 and the rears are the Concave Mesh 8. Both 20" I think the front are something like 9.5 and the rears are 10" but don't quote me on that. Not cheap though.

I like the b5 but Luke's B7 is waaaaaaaaay too low for me.
previous- Pug 205 gti, 306 gti, 309 gti Goodwood.
Audi S3, S4 V8 avant.
Porsche Macan Turbo.
Gone but NEVER forgotten - C5 RS6 Misano red avant.

Now - Empty garage

It's on airbags... you know, bookfather spec. You hit the switches to get driving height and then 'airout' when you park up next to your bitches/homies.

I'm pretty sure those Forge360s are 10.5j (all round) - very extreme, expensive and a serious performance compromise. That said, it was a daily driver, according to Doug.
No matter where you go, there you are.

Here's a 6 with 19x10 light concave wheels (pinched from the other forum). I don't think the wheels look overly small, and I do like the chunky look that the wide tyre/wheel combo provides. Thoughts?

Also, I've found another wheel - what do people think of this:

Ok I think I've decided on the above wheel after seeing it on a B5 RS4 Avant. I think I'm in love:

That's a nice wheel. Much better than the other one's you were thinking about (however I can't see the first 3 pictures in your post above).
