Got the new rims on!

[Outtlaw]

Makes the car look sort of short and fat, i think they look wicked, defo thumbs up

[Oli]

Looks great, how does it drive, handle etc? Any difference?

they look great, can you post up the cost and supplier details.

I want the 20" R8 forged alloys on mine, been quoted €2500 + €250 for the 20mm spacers from Youry at RS Quattro, these are the same style as the OEM B7 alloys

Appreciate the positive feedback guys, nice to hear after spending all that cash! And to answer a couple of questions - yes, oem RS6 rims, supplied by Global Trading in Germany as a package with PS2's fitted and balanced, with new pressure sensors, valves, centre caps, spacers and bolts. PM me if you want costs and contact details. Suspension is standard, not ss+ btw.

looks the biz, excellent

fear the kerbs though!

im gonna buck the trend, i'd personally prefer the 20" RS4 style BUT wouldnt see the point spending all that doh for the extra inch, but they do look very good and very unique

[P_G]

Call me old fashioned but the only bit that bothers me about them is the size of the hubcentric spacers you have to use and the length of the bolts and its potential effect on the suspension.

Look fantastic though and probably not so bad if it is an occasional car.

on the phone to contacts in germany now, what width are the tyres as i have sourced the wheels in berlin

I'm more with David & P_G - bit of a concern about the spacers, and (whilst I like the look) not quite sure whether the marginal difference is worth my cash

Obviously UNI555 is delighted, and I don't blame him. On balance, I'll probably spend my equivalent on a big loud exhaust & map...

they dont look right on that car and that colour is horrible not my cup of tea

[UNI555]

Just to deal with some of the questions (have replied to pm's about costs etc) the tyres are 265/30, this gives a rolling circumferance very close to the standard fitment. Ride and handling seem fine so far but I haven't had a chance to drive it much yet.
I can well understand concerns over spacers, but part of the thickness is just correcting the offset, the actual movement of the wheel's load centre relative to the hub face is only 7mm at the rear and 2mm at the front, not much when you look at the width of the standard wheels and how much of that width is inboard of the hub anyway, certainly not anything like as severe as putting, say, 15mm spacers behind the standard wheels which obviously moves the load centre by 15mm. The width of the new wheel is half an inch up on the standard at 9.5 inches but the 265 tyres I'm running are half way between the standard 255 and the 275's that many on here are running on the original rims so no issues there. The longer bolts don't concern me, as far as I can see the bolts are no more or less likely to shear (at the hub face) than shorter ones.
I'm not an expert on any of this but I did look into it quite thoroughly (and have a 30 year background in engineering). I alo spoke to someone at my local dealership who (understandably) couldn't officially sanction what I was doing but off the record saw no problem, and he had calculated rolling circumferance etc for himself.

Nice find David. I guess if I am gonna go for a set of these for my plus, will obviously need the Titan Grey colour for the 'Plus' oem look.
