Hi all,

Wanted to show those who're interested my motor on its freshly refurbished Bentley's.

I don't want to bore you, having another A3 on these wheels, but i'm hoping these stand out slightly!

The specs are 19x9 et41 and i've found they fill the arches absolutely perfectly with the right amount of stretch (That being 215/35/19, or 225/35/19 if you're not as low as i am) without rubbing.

Here are the pictures, i'll try not to bore you :)

Looks nice mate. So thats 215 on 9s ?

Should get mine on at the weekend. 9.5 on the rear with 225. ET 45.

What you lowered with / how much ?
 
saw it on intstgram earlier, looks nice, put the audi badge back on the back and some my11 rears would finish it off. Other than that looks great :applaus:

Glad you got a decent camera now too!

Thankyou, yes mate 215/35's on 9's, that should be a nice amount of stretch :)

I'm on JOM coilovers bud and pretty much all the way down, bar about 5-10mm, rears I have adjusters out :)

Thanks matey. Each to their own, I prefer the smooth rear personally, I colour coded the rear badge to my wheels and trial fitted it but I much preferred it without the badge.

I will with time get an s line rear bumper, s3 spoiler & my 11 rears! :)

Haha unfortunately it's not my camera, it's a mate of mines!
 
Ive only got Eibach Sportlines on, so not going to be as low. Think there 40/50mm. Looks reasonably low on 17s tho.
 
where did you get the rims from? im guessing they were pretty expensive. looks really good

Sourced them on Edition38 and drove to London to pick them up. They weren't in the best state when I got them, but the refurb sure freshened them up.
Uhm, well, they're not the cheapest set of wheels you'll find, but they're not the most expensive either :lol:

Thanks! :thumbs:
 
That's stunning wheels and love the colour, suit your motor really well.
 
I like it, Alot! Looks very nice :hubbahubba:. Whats the ride like on them??

Thank you!!
Honestly, not great.. low profile tyres, alot of stretch, 19's & budget coilovers hand in hand is never going to be good. But I'm sure if my car wasn't as low, I had better coilovers & thicker tyres it'd be much better! I'm not concerned about the ride quality though, it does me fine :)

Yep I'd go more for the looks than the comfort myself!
 
Fills the arches nicely and those rims are rare and look amazing on audis
 
I like the colour, looks good with coded front rings... but not a fan of the yellow fog lights. Does that make me a bad person?

Thanks mate. Aha not at all pal, everyone's entitled to their own opinion but I like the fogs, I only recently did them and I found they livened up the front end quite significantly.
Admittedly the dont work with my whole colour scheme thing going on, but who cares :)

audi upgrades
looking lovely brad:wub: S3 spoiler and my11 will finish the rear off nicely. I do prefer audi rings on the back even though my bootlid didnt even have any badges to :laugh: Was suppose to get around to doing that. Look forward to seeing the updates

Thanks mate, agree with you regarding the spoiler and my11's, they're both on the cards for sure.

But again, a little unsure about the badge, think I might put it on for abit and see how I like it :)

Cupra splitter was bought and fitted, upper and lower grill surrounds sprayed gloss black. Just need to get round to fitting them.

Cupra splitter is being plastidipped gloss black this week to match the paint.

Looking into a remap next month, £295 for 180-190bhp and bang on 300ft/lbs of torque, before and after dyno & DPF delete. Happy days :)

I assume you mean the wheels?

You're best to keep your eyes peeled on eBay mate. The monoblocks are harder to get hold of, hence the splits are rather played in comparison to these... IMO anyway. sorry if that offends anyone :lol:

It shouldnt have a DPF mate, only the 170 did, all the 140 are without. EGR delete maybe ? Thats quite common.
Been toying with getting mine done, but i drive like a grandad :)
