Hello. Needed new tyres but I couldn't resist a wheel/tyre package I saw online. Bad time of year to put wheels on but hey ho..

Wheels are Fox MS007 19x8.5 ET32 with 235/35/19 Good Year F1's. I'm happy with the fronts but let me know what you think of the rears. Tempted to put a small spacer in there. I was ET35 before with a 10mm spacer (final ET 25) but I did rub in certain circumstances, very rarely though. Lowered on H&R springs.
Disks are EBC grooved and dimpled and Yellow Stuff pads all round.

EDIT: Meant to say thanks to Gary (Boombastik) for doing my brakes, top job! :thumbs:

Nice!!! :thumbs:
Yeah love that style of wheel. I originally tried to get a hold of VMR 710's but couldn't find them in the UK. These were the closest I could find and half the price! lol

That looks brilliant. I wanted them for mine. It is amazing how a good set of wheels makes the arches on the S4 pop a bit more. So much so it is difficult to tell the S and the RS apart. Lovely car.

Thanks man. Yeah really pleased with the look. Should've done the wheels ages ago. Got a couple more things to do to freshen it up a bit and then I might actually sell it.

The anti rattle clips were direct from Audi, circa £50 for the pair. H&R springs are 30mm drop.
