I wonder what they cost for a set? What size centre bore should I get, in 19x9.5? Offset +33 with a 5mm spacer?

Can't find a price for wheels only but here around £1400 with tyres so wheels only are probably £600 - £700 bargain!!

I was planning to have a Racoon wrap this summer, but have had second thoughts because of my standard wheels & mirrors. I think you need the fully darkened package to carry it off...

Racoon were quoted IIRC £1500 for a full wrap excluding mirrors and ali trim / roof rails.

The LED lights have been done by chopping in the C6 A6 LED tail lamps but again IIRC it is a messy job.

Very Nice indeed!! The wheels are pure class and one of the few that really look as good if not better than OEM on the car.

My only negitive comment is, get that Milltek straightened up the left tip is sitting lower...... :?:

Nice pictures too :thumbs:

Oh and Welcome!!!
