Anyone though about trying these R8 reps? (Collection 490 from elitedirect.com)

Look quite smart - don't know about offset and things like that though

They look better on the car than I thought they would.

I suspect those in picture posted above are 19s, however have just ordered a set of 8x18 ET35 with PS2s from elitedirect.com. They won't be with me until mid May, but will post a picture or two when they are on. Fingers crossed they fit over RS4 B5 brakes (which are on the shelf waiting) without spacers.

They should fit fine. The B5 RS4 brakes give loads of caliper clearance.

Looking forward to the pictures...

Don't look bad.... still prefer B7 RS4 alloys out of the Audi range.

Preliminary photo. Will take a better one after a good wash! Didn't realise how tail down she is on stock suspension (next on list of purchases!).

They fitted fine over my standard brakes (temporarily, before fitting RS4 B5 setup currently sat on bench), but I suspect they would not fit with new pads pushing the sliding part of the caliper further outboard.
