OHHAI! - New wheels

[S3IZZO]

Thanks to Philip Walker for sorting me out a fantastic deal on some new wheels which just arrived.

These could work out to be more work than it's worth getting them to fit but there's no harm in trying...quality of them is outstanding.

Forged centres and titanium bolts, look better in the flesh than I thought.

Ooooo weee! very nice, good choice! 19's?

 

[S3IZZO]

Yes, 19 x 8.5 all round

They work so much better than those square wheels

They look lovely, when they going on?

Tyres are going on today/tomorrow...I may do a test fit but the car is going into Quattronics next monday to fit the coilovers and new grill so may wait until then.

 

[marriedblonde]

I think a test fit and some teaser pics are required!

They do look better than in the ad's!

Gorgeous look forward to seeing them on the car in June at the Dyno day.

GET THEM ON NOW!!! awesome wheels mate - cannot wait to see them on the car

what tyres are you going for? i have 235/35/19 on mine but a slight stretched look would be awesome on them - 215's or 225's!

 

[S3IZZO]

They'll have to be 215/35's to compensate for the ET, i'm not even 100% they'll fit yet...may need some time in a bodyshop.

 

[marriedblonde]

Ah I did read your post in another thread about them having a low offset...

So chuck em on, take some pics sort out the rubbing later

 

[Boydie]

what is the et on these rims?

 

[S3IZZO]

ET27 ..... I know they're going to POKE.

 

[Boydie]

If it was easy it wouldn't be worth doing

Here's an A3 wearing 18 x 8.5 and 18 x 9.5 both ET30

Gives me a little hope that it'll work.

 

[Boydie]

you will have to have it decked on the coilovers to pull off the phat rims and stretched look!

next thing they need to make are the "down and out" A3 stickers

like so: http://www.volkswagenstickers.co.uk/index2.php?cmd=search&cat=14

Going to look the nuts S3IZZO, looking forward to seeing them on your S3 already.

 

[John @ DW]

mmmmmmm, wheel porn!!!

 

[Boydie]

do you have pics of the car as it is already lad?

 

[N8]

Very euro theme S3IZZO, thought you were selling?

Very nice, i love genuine BBS rims. A mate of mine has them on his old Mk2 Golf GTi and they look the dogs. However IIRC they cost nearly as much as the car. Look forward to seeing them on an S3.
