    I dont want to get the new wheels put on a day or two before some tech has to take them off again to work on the brakes etc...
    More chance of them getting damaged.
    and I dont want to put in the new lower springs before the workshop sees the car...then possibly uses those as an excuse not to fix the brakes / abs....

      have a look here for some great quality rims. I purchased my last ones here and the rims are great, prices and service is great too

      Knock 20% off his list price as they include VAT, and add around £250 for delivery
      Going way back to the start of this thread; there seem to be some great options at that BM Autosport link. Might chase some of these up.

        How would they compare quality wise to the Apec package that Tigger promises us is happening?

        Ha fair call, and good point, same reason I deferred a few of my ideas until I had some work done under warranty last week.

          They've been on for something like 8,000km now... No dramas.

            These two pages are cool - list of VW and Audi wheels (a little out of date/old)

            18 inch VW wheels 5x112 bolt pattern

            18" Audi 5x112 wheels

            Anybody vaguely thinking of a big brake upgrade should consider the Audi NS4 wheels
            They have heaps of spoke clearance and can take the 330mm big brakes without the need for a wheel spacer

            These NS4 wheels look pretty good on the Octavia

                been obsessing about Vossen wheels lately. no doubt will cost several kidneys...

                    that may just be an option for the future ideally i'd like to go 18 but at the moment i've got a set of 225/45/17 tyres waiting for me.

                      They are probably a really good option for both performance and comfort

                        That Tempe Tyres mob where this thread is still heading do a RS4 replica look in 18s, although only silver on the website.

                        AUVW 18x8.0 Style201

                        I wouldn't mind a black set on my GTI either; although also love the style that Tigger has his eyes on. I think I've got my eyes on other mods first still tho..

                                The exact lens I used to take the photos on the cruise - Tokina 11-16mm. I borrowed one on the day and I was so happy with it that I had to snap one up!

                                And budget! They'll have to do until I can afford some Vossens and KW's
