DavidT - I have to echo what Ash and Julian have said, your car would look better with pukka wheels and since you do so many trackdays imho you ought to get BBS, Oz or Speedline lightweight wheels as per NigeRS4's post.

Can we start a group buy for the exhaust thingy bob. If it is cheaper than £172 then count me in. In fact I'll take two, just in case some jealous idiot steals this tasteful addition. :lol:

Eloquently put.

David I have always held you in high regard. Please don't destroy the elevated status I have reserved for you by putting those on your beast :thumbsdown:

Thanks for your input everyone.

At first I blamed my fondness for these wheels on the lovely bottle of Sancerre but then I remembered: I've been watching this item in 'My Ebay' for 2 days :shock: :oops:

I just like(d) the modern metallic look and the colour contrast. But S4TAN is quite right about the car needing 'solid looking' wheels spokes. rikrose is right too, they look too 'racey' for the S4, although generally, racey is the look I prefer (I may buy a set of white compomotives and have done with it :) )

I've always liked the Superlegerras Nige, but my web research suggests even the latest ones crack :( Wheel weight is a big factor though, these heavy cars are never over-damped, lets face it!

The silver ones look good on your car bobblier (SP?), they looked good on S4woody's Misano car too, I like them. Bound to be less effective on a silver car though.

Thanks for the photoshop job Olie, they look a bit <beep> to be honest :( too fussy and the pics of S4 SAT's car did not inspire me either, sorry. I'd imagined them with black centres which would help I think.

Your B5 sure looks good Phil :)

The bloke in ash's car looks like a gangster to me :lol: :wink:

LOL at dazzer. I won't. Perhaps it will never happen. I'm attached to those Avus 17's :s4addict:

The search continues.

Happy posting peeps.

That's the ones I have. I have the centres in grey with silver audi rings in them. The RS4 ones are black with silver rings. Got a spare set of centre caps which I'm goin to paint when I get the wheels refurbed in dark grey. Looking for a set of OEM 19" RS4 alloys or 19" bbs style wheels from the A6 S-Line. Need a set of S4 bumpers if anyone is selling them.
