Can a wheel be too big? Remember the S4 Has nice big arches which are begging to be filled :)

Nice choice of wheel there H8cak.

And 19"s you say? No way!! They do look a touch massive Doug's running the same wheels on his saloon and they don't look as big :? And I don't think it's cuz he's sprayed em black either :?

May I ask how much and where from please? I'm still torn between these and the RS6's... when I finally decide to/can afford to buy :)
01 RS4, Milltek, Dahlback Racing rears, RS6 fronts and a few bits to be added.

Also, as I hate driving, my toy to play with - a Honda CBR F Sport

£410 from a guy in bolton and £600 for the Conti Sports. I think they look so big cos the inserts are painted matt black?

I think they look too spindly for the car, because of the black. I was tempted by some BBS Air II CYs, with a similar idea (sections darker), but then I realised I don't like the look of BBS wheels, and they looked bad in my photoshop trials anyway.
