Anyway, back on topic :-

It's a difficult call David.

At first, I agreed with S4TAN (apart from the airy fairy way he wrote it... :lol: ), but now I've seen them on Blobbller's car, the "MTM bimoto look" does suit the S4, although I'm not so sure about the black and the ebay pic isn't the best. Can anyone do a Photoshop job - black wheels on a silver S4?

Transforms the ride quality completely (in a good way).
Got a linky Nige...?

Blobbller's car
PMSL!

Yeah Clive - it's the black bits on the spokes that make them look "skinny" to me - the ones that blolbbler has got look better ...

... but iirc the spokes stand out proud from the tyre and can be kerbed ....

Indeed they can, and do :(
I did my front left within about 10 miles of putting them on after white van man decided he didn't want to wait in the passing place down a narrow lane. It was a choice of either kerb the wheel or loose the front wing...

Quote from website .... "The O·Z Superleggera is the most lightweight wheel present on the market"

Reducing unsprung weight is one of the most under-estimated mods you can make - it allows your suspension components to react quicker, thereby improving both traction and comfort.

NO no no dont do it dave i think they look crap(my opinion) youve spent thousands on your car ,nice new seats soon as well so dont spoil it with a set of cheap replica wheels.Do it right first time dont do it again.

You're all missing the point - forget these wheels - they look like they're in the process of eating up The Black Hole!!

What you want are a set of... and now yawning from anyone... RS4 B7 wheels :rock:

Alternatively, a set of 19" BBS's
01 RS4, Milltek, Dahlback Racing rears, RS6 fronts and a few bits to be added.

Also, as I hate driving, my toy to play with - a Honda CBR F Sport
