Absolutely PMSL - it just gets worse!

Back to the wheels: after seeing Olie's photoshop work I think those wheels look horrid! Ash's comment is right on the money...

HobsonS4 has the best wheels i've seen so far from an aesthetic point of view - don't know about their weight or build quality though - and I guess you're not going to beat the OZ stuff for weight-saving and quality ...

Don't talk to me about Hobsons alloys :roll: I was so close to getting em :( They do look 'kin amazing though. Darned good choice dude :thumbs:

But, now that Ive found a place that sells em, I've decided to toy with the idea of going for an RS4 B5 :?

Best wheels to get (If I had the dosh) would be super light forged wheels, unsprung weight and all that malarky...

And those LM's look great on your motor Philip (£££££) :lol:

Love to see them on a cam and more importantly for a stealthy performer like your car David - be interesting to know the weight.

They look OK in silver , but for me 'AVUS stylee' only for S4..... 17" (or 18" if you need to fit some brakes...... :shock: ) I've got 3 RS4 style 18 and one in the style of an 18" RS4 alloy doing a nice 50p impersonation after seeing Mr Kerb....Thought they looked out of place on the S4 :?
