Aren't the bimotos 0.5" narrower than OEM though?

They do 8.5 and 9.5 J....standard RS6 wheels are 9.0

If 235's are flush i'd suggest they are 8.5's....

I'm running 255's on 9.5's with a tiny bit of stretch.

Thanks for info Dave, so can I get wider tyres to help protect the rims a bit? Funny thing is they look wider that the OEM's on currently.
Still on for :drink: 2mo dude?

Would you believe I'm actually considering a Noggy/Sprint Blue high-gloss vinyl wrap for winter?

Yes, full C6 non-ceramic anchors.

Your wheels really show off those brakes! Top job! Did you get your rear lenses fitted yet? Keen to see how they look!

Car has been with the stealers for three weeks, steering rack issue, waranty work (been driving around in a 2.0TDi A4 Allroad - hateful car). I had booked Darth into MRC for the H&R ARBs about 6 weeks ago and it's due in there on Thursday! I'm gunna be pissed if I miss this MRC appointment, I just know if I try to rebook, MRC will be chocker full for another 4-6 weeks, popular b*stards.
I've already got the Hella dark/tinted rear light cluster sitting at home alongside three different side indicator light mountings (tinted, black mirrored and clear with black background). Can't wait to fit them.
Once MOT has passed, I'll get some more power.... that'll probably cause the gearbox to implode :boohoo:

I'm seriously thinking about finding a donor low miler for a big swap over but then I'd have to do all this over again at some point, methinks...
