New wheels

[S3Steve]

Ive finally got round to ordering some new wheels. Ive gone for 18" BBS CH's with Yokohama Parada Tyres, they should be here by the end of the week. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/groovy.gif

Beautiful, sexy, gorgeous.

BBS CHs just suit the S3, good choice /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beerchug.gif

Kev.

 

[S3Steve]

I was tempted by some 19" Oettinger RZ's from Monty's but decided to go with the lightweight BBS wheels to reduce the unsprung weight and improve handling.

 

[ChriS3]

I've been tempted by some 19" MTMs, but I'm swaying towards the BBS wheels - very nice!

Better on the S3 than the RZ's. Photo's at the weekend please /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[S3Steve]

I will put a photo up as soon as I get them fitted. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[ChriS3]

Heh, just fired up the Playstation. The CH's look good on my noggy blue S3 in GT4.

 

[S3Steve]

Wheels arrived this morning at 7am. Ive got them on now and they look even better than I thought they would. I will try and get some pictures up over the weekend if it ever stops raining. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/groovy.gif

Congratualtions mate!

I myself have just this minute ordered some new BBS RSIIs and cannot tell you how keen I am to have them turn up!

I look forward to seeng your pictures!

 

[S3Steve]

Cheers mate same to you, look forward to seeing your picks when they arrive.

Piccy's Pronto /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I'd like to see how they look on an S3

How do the CH's compare to the old ones in terms of weight?

 

[S3Steve]

Heres a quick pic sorry but the cars filthy I will post some better ones once I get chance to clean it. Each wheel and tyre weighs approx 3-4kg less than the standard one.

 

[Triple_A]

Looks good! (exactly like mine =) )

How much those H&R springs lower your car?
I ordered eibach springs and hope that my car looks as good as yours with those..

 

[S3Steve]

Thanks. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

They are 25mm lowering springs mate.

Looking at your sig I guess youve got a bit more power than me /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/groovy.gif

Look forward to seeing some pics when you get the eibachs on.

 

[Triple_A]

Same power as yours...just MTM chip, Supersprint exhaust and FMIC.

Here´s one pic with std suspension...

 

[S3Steve]

Are your BBS's 17's or is it just because your suspension is std height that they appear to look smaller than mine?

Ive been looking at Supersprint exhausts myself, I was originally looking at one of their race systems but the tailpipe sticks out to far. Yours appears to sit very well I take it its one of their road systems. If I get one I think I will go for the oval tailpipe though.

 

[Triple_A]

Those are 18x8.5 so it must be that std height that make them look smaller...

Exhaust is that 2,5" road-system and it seems to fit perfactly.

 

[S3Steve]

Cool look forward to seeing the pics once its lowered.

There's not too many after-market alloys that look good on an Audi. They look great. Good choice!

 

[Rob W8]

Looks nice mate!

 

[S3Steve]

Cheers guys. Have you got your car booked in at Jabba yet Rob?

 

[vernS3]

Wheels look great!
