:DSo I recently sold my bbs lm alloys and decided I wanted a set of S4's,i set about finding a set of genuine 'ronals ' that had tyres and weren't too scuffed.

I found 2 on ebay with tyres for £110 so quickly got in the van to collect at derby,i was amazed when I saw them,6/7mm tread on continentals and not a scuff insight:arco::arco: Result!!

Then had a task to find 2 more with tyres which has been quite hard as most sellers sell them as a set of 4:think:
I came across a seller on ebay who was breaking S4's,,(he had 5 S4's in total),a few emails were exchanged and he's sorted me out with a couple of spare alloys/tyres from the boots of the cars for £220 including delivery:arco:

To say im chuffed is an understatement,4 genuine audi S4's for £330 including tyres..........:rockwoot:

Im going to paint them anthracite and cant wait to get them fitted to the car.I'll definatley post pictures up when there ready:D

If you think that's a good deal I had better not say how much I paid for my set of five with four good tyres. The tyres on mine only came with around 4mm of tread, but I originally bought them as winters.
People seem to frown upon not having these in their original colour, but I don't see the problem especially if you have a silver car. It breaks it up and goes really nice with the body colour.

I like the look of them and ease of cleaning.
 
Yeah mate so easy to clean, that's why I've never gone for a BBS style alloy, it's just too much effort keeping them looking nice. I had the Mk1 TT V6 alloys on my Bora which are similar


Here's the Avant in holiday mode from it's trip to Cornwall a couple of months ago

Live miles away mate but that's.

It's quite a good idea, I have a spare b6 hub too, and plenty wood, so might have a bash at making one.

Then yes give it more coats of laquer but make sure there clean:D

You could always flat them off with wet/dry then buff them afterwards.:thumbs up:

Mine had 3/4 coats of upol laquer:)

EDIT*** Yours are powder coated so not sure how laquer will effect them.
