Thoughts please

Post by Batfinnk » Wed Jan 22, 2014 9:23 pm

What do we think of these? They are 19's. They look a little like the new RS6 ones. I love the look of them. Probably one of the few non oem wheels I have seen that I think will look good on my B7.

It's between these and a set of the new RS4 V spokes. Have you got your new wheels on yet?

Like em. Almost a cross between the rs6 and an AMG wheel. I also think OZ superturismos work well too...

The other appealing bit is easy to clean and being 19's I will be able to get my hands in around the brakes to clean them properly. The down side of not having a drive means washing the car in the road which stops me having the wheels off the clean them.

Mine arrived today, havent had the chance to even unwrap them yet let alone fit them. Hopefully tomorrow :)

Also fingers crossed that the tyres fit, as we have already discussed the 245's will be tight. Will find out soon enough.

When's your S4 back Batfink? Any news?
