nothing like some DIY to make it a reality. I picked that set up on ebay for $150. Spent 5 nights after work and $90 on paint. The big bonus is that they are real ronal wheels - not the lightest, but they are very strong rims, even with all the gutter rash on them they were dead straght - no wobbles or warps. Aftermarket and replica rims are always so fragile and for me atleast, have caused me endless headaches chasing vibrations at highways speeds. never again.

The cost of the tyres doesnt count, ofcourse

are these 17s or 18s? thought audi wheels didn't have correct offsets?

[gldgti]

they are 17x7.5 ET56, the stock 16's that I had were 16x6.5 ET50 (but with balooning 215/60 oversize tyres).

I'd say with a 7.5" rim you could go to ET60 but thats about it. I think pretty much any 5x112 audi rim you'll find will be et56 or less, so you shouldnt have a problem.

I think about the widest you would fit under there without any modifications would be 8.5 with ET44 ish.

I was looking at these

which are ET50 so you'd need some small spacers (5-6mm) but I reckon they would look the business.

hmmm, wonder how these wheels would look on a white wagon ... black skirts, me like! : )

Black wheels would look nice on a white wagon but given the large panels especially on a wagon, you'd might want to opt for wheels with more or thicker spokes so that both parts are in harmony. Maybe something like VMR wheels? If I were in the market for a RS wagon, I'd go black with the oettinger wheels. Simple but real nice.

The black stripe down the middle is actually quite different. Couldn't do it in any other colour then white, but I think it looks unique!

Nice! Nur sticker, where from? Also, needs M1-300 sticker.

+1 for vmr rims!

I got my set and am very happy with the quality.

Supercheap

Nah, went to the ring a few years back, stockpiled a load whilst I was there....problem being I have bought and sold a ****load of cars in that time, so this was my last one!!

Oh yes that black VMR wagon is what I am modelling mine (well Mrs's) Skoda on

Although I am reluctant to pay fro VMR wheels as I reckon they will get rashed within hours of fitment.

So it will be one of these from the Tirerack, all 19" all under $200AUD



I am loosing a lot of sleep....wheels....serious buisness!
