These could be winters but c'mon 8.5 width & high offset on an RS4 is too thin
:bash:

Nasty wheels but winters are winters! In Germany most of the cars still run steels for winter

Anyone that keeps an adult sized tricycle on the roof of their shed must be a c-unit

Apparently it's the easiest way to get it on the roof rack

hmm suppose I'd better not post the any pictures of mine then when I put the winters on... lol

Deliberately dropping to 235s on 19 in rims, but not sure as yet how its going to look. Bought some these...(and I'm preparing for some flack...)
New Wheels 2.jpg
Will post some more piccies once they're fitted later in Nov (just to get some criticism.. I mean feedback :bigblink: )

Most important for me is the larger side wall (for bouncing off the curb!) and thinner tyres (for better grip in the snow).. not that we get a lot of snow, but I'd hate to stuff it and then think I wish I'd fitted some winters

Those are the narrower winter wheels, not the standard 19x9 RS5 alloys?

Car should go nicely, although looking at the tread pattern, I imagine that tyre is for the right hand side

Typical cheating roady - he had a ramp up the front for his back wheel that got tajken away before he walked around in frame.. 2/10 for that effort :)

Yep they are the winter wheels rather than the RS5 alloys. And well spotted, it is the RHS tyre (I didn't notice at the time, but I just wanted to get a feel for what they'd look like against the car)

Haha, sorry
You can see as he rides up to the front of the car he only lifts the front wheel, but miraculously rides up onto the bonnet rather than just smashing his chainring into the grill and eating crap :)
