They certainly do look nice on that noggy, they suit it perfectly.

I keep changing my mind about which ones i want!

CHs all the way - one of the nicest wheels by far, IMO.
And for £1500 including tyre a bargain ! You could also try German Ebay - that's where I was bidding...

OK, I've gotta stop looking at bloody BBS, im gonna end up even more undecided if i keep looking [img]images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img].

Carps, i think you're spot on, CH look lovely. [img]images/graemlins/bowdown.gif[/img]

To be true theres not much in it between the CH, RC, RX, LM .....

I think im just gonna bite the bullet and go for those CH.

Wish me luck, gotta go and convince the wife now (i think that frodo had an easier job than im gonna have convincing the wife)

I made the 6 pot brake kit using Porsche GT2 Brembo's and RS6 discs. I also have Porsche 996 rear brakes.

I have now added pics of these and the new 19" RS6 replicas on my gallery.

Excellent brake setup. Did you make the bells & calliper brackets yourself ?

I like the RS6 replica alloys too, they suit the car really well, tempting.

The RS6 discs come complete and fit straight on the S4 hub. You need to file a small lump off the hub casting due to the slightly different offset of the disc. I made the 2 alloy brackets for the front and 4 for the rear.
I really like the wheels - cheap too at £500 all in! Only problem is the tyres cost much more than that.

Sorry, I misread your original post. As you say, the RS6 discs are one piece.

Where did you buy the rims ? and dare I ask how much the tyres are ?
