would a set of mint condition MTM Bimota 19in with 235/35/19 P-Zeros (less than 3k miles) be of any interest?
Wheels and tyres are as new £1500.

can't offer you 18's, but I am looking for a spare set of Avus 17's for my S4 (B6) for use with winter tyres + snowchains. If yours become free, and they become available, have you an idea of their size ? eg 17* ?? and what offset/ET ?? (suppose I could surf around for this info but if you already have it in your docs it would help !).

S3 Avus wheels will not fit your B6 S4, I have a spare set of Avus B5 S4 wheels im thinking of selling but im not even sure that they will fit your car. Although they are ET45 112PCD

thanks gavster... my handbook says 17*7 ET38, so Im assuming yours are 7.5" section. I dont think I can take the chance "blind" that they would be OK as I think 7.5" would "intrude" about 1/2 inch further into the wheel arch, which is exactly the corner space needed for the chains.
fyi, mine are 112*5 too.
If you could send me a PM with a price, the section size and where you live !! we could maybe arrange something such as a trial fit or something ???
sorry for stealing the thread so far

; I'll disappear now

Rochford Tyres do some good prices for RS TT wheels (replicas or oem)

Yes, i have called them already, but the guy i spoke to reckoned that i needed some different sized tryes which bumped the price up to £800 for replicas!
