i got them from ebay..
No spacers atm, although tyres are too big and are scrubbing so will be spacering them out only for this reason not brakes. Just make sure they dont put the weights where the caliper will pass the wheel as it will catch on the mtm reps for sure.

Think mine are just looking like the back of where the spokes blend into the main wheel circumference are the trouble areas. Just need to get another dry day to do a proper test fit with an abundance of washers to see how much.

Thanks for all the input though lad/lassies, much appreciated as always.

Phil - BBS are a bit rich for me at the mo, can't justify the price especially as I look at my less than a year old wheels and they are scuffed to pieces all over. Hurrah for the missus and her kerb jumping habits. I can just about stand it on £500 of tyre and wheel, £1500 (or there abouts) is a different matter entirely LOL

I got B7 RS4 wheels for mine when I fitted the ECS stage 4 kit. They fitted no problem, no spacers, straight out the box. Pm me if you want the suppliers details.

Yep - Lambo reps, but 18". Added bonus is that they're lighter than my B6 reps (result!) - handling is better and they look great on the car IMO - but my photography skillz are non-existent.

I'm liking the way they are at the moment, look really nice 'in the flesh' - but they may go a very light gun-metal/anthracite at some point in the future (like when I've kerbed them and they need refurb) :wink:

I dunno. the photo's awful.. i can bearly tell :D

i wasn't there at the time, hones.t i definately didn't buy ARBs front and back, and droplinks, and have them fitted, honest. Car handles really nicely now though.

Also had a quick ride in Doug's car. It was quick, yes.
