Very nice indeed...

I called Audi Australia today for a price on the Audi RSTT alloys to suit my S3. $1500 AUD PER Wheel without Rubber. And thats if I buy 2 sets (1 for a friend), normally the price is $1680 PER Wheel , again without rubber [img]images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Convert that to UK money and be scared....

Looking really good. Really like the 18" RSTTs on the S3 - and those gorgeous red brake calipers set them off a treat. So what's next on the mod front?

I do love that wheel design, and it really goes well with the design of the A/S3. Tyres are looking pretty good too! Don't have any experience of the Toyos. And those brakes, oooooh Porsche calipers yummy yummy. I know hitting the brakes is often referred to as "slamming on the anchors", but those babies on an S3 really must be like chucking a QE2 jobby off the back!

You should be very proud

Cheers people... loving the car even more now !

As for the next mod, will just have to hold off until i can replenish my stocks [img]images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] but may look at an exhaust system or intercoolers when the time comes

Joshie,

Are they the same ones you have on your S4 with 225/40 tyres ? because looking at yours made me want some.
