Anyone done this, how much would 2 RS3 alloys (the 8.5J ones) cost?

From Audi prob close to £1500 for the 2. They occasionally come up on ebay.

I wouldn't bother Nick, there is little difference in it and changing tyres (Cointinental to Goodyear / Michelin) is a better spend and will probably get better results.

I thought as much, Good Year AS2s are ridiculously cheap to be honest :D

+1. I replaced a run flat on Mrs Geeks 1 Series last month and that cost £12 more than the current price of the F1's :shock: :bash:

If I weren't so attached to Michelin I would be buying a set to stash in the garage - ridiculously cheap comparatively speaking.
