OEM New RS6 alloys with New Tyres

[Gareth]

Have a colleague selling these brand new boxed wheels with brand new tyres.

Was going to have them for my S4 but they don't fit due to the offset [img]images/graemlins/boohoo.gif[/img]

Wheels are brand new and still in the boxes and the tyres still have the stickers on.

Wheels are 9J x 19'' 5 spoke without a mark and fitted with the oem caps.
Tyres are Michelin Pilot Sport 2's-235 front and 255 rears

Believe (but check first!)these will fit the following cars;

RS4
S6
S4 B5
RS6

They were bought from an Audi dealer for £3,800+ and then he put on 19'' Sportecs instead [img]images/graemlins/spineyes.gif[/img]

Offers for £1,995 please via PM or call me on 07887 950400.

cheers,

Gareth.

n.b. these are not reps but the real oem RS6's.

[Gareth]

Thanks for the pm's so far [img]images/graemlins/clap.gif[/img]

Will sell this week for the knock down price of £1,600 or the nearest offer [img]images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Cheers.

I don't think you stand a chance of getting those on an S4 (B5) - no way you'd get 9" rims and 255 tyres under the arches without hitting the suspension arms.
Shame as they are luverly wheels...

[Gareth]

Cheers for that, they are lovely wheels indeed.

Might have sold them today..fingers crossed! [img]images/graemlins/3flypigs.gif[/img]

[Gareth]

Still not sold but would be open to sensible offers.

Would split the tyres/wheels and happy to see if a deal can be done.

Thanks,
Gareth

I would be rather concerned that they've got different sized tyres for front and rear - not ideal for a quattro. Also, those rims are exposed enough with 255 rubber - another 3/4" off the tyre width and the rims must be sticking out saying "bite me" to all the kerbstones!

That's what I thought [img]images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] Can anyone help please?

The pic is in my Gallery as well [img]images/graemlins/beerchug.gif[/img]

You're right about the different size tyres. However I spoke a friend who replaced the wheels/tyres on his RS6 to 235 fronts and 275 rears...seemed to work for him [img]images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

As you can see I'm actually prepared to split these up as an RS6 owner might want the wheels and the 255's therefore leaving me with the 235's...which is fine as I have plans for those [img]images/graemlins/notworthy.gif[/img]

You interested in the tyres or wheels Peter?

As far as I know, there are two issues (I'm happy to be corrected though [img]images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]):

1) Rolling radius - if this differs between the tyre sizes then you have a problem because the fronts will constantly turn at a different speed to the rear and the centre diff will be trying to compensate, which will damage it.

2) Torque split - I think the tyre sizes are the same because of the 50/50 torque split the car has, so using tyres of different sizes is not recommended.

I'm sure you're right David but as you see I am splitting these items up for the sale so the different sizes are not really an issue.

The 255's will naturally go straight on a RS6/S6/RS4 etc and I'll just sell the 235's seperately [img]images/graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

[Gareth]

Still for sale

Will take £1,100 firm for the wheels, would be £2,600+ from an Audi dealer

Will take an offer on the Michelin Pilot Sport 2's- one pair of brand new stickered 255/35 ZR19 XL and the others are 235/35 ZR19's XL.

Thanks.

p.s. please, no timewasters ( ) . Cheers
