How much are them costing if you don't mind me asking?

I'm looking for a set me self same size but I'm struggling to find ones I like.

Also will you be taking the tyre pressure monitoring system out of your old ones or have you just ordered new for the new set?

Tyre pressure monitoring system is not in the tyre its measured by the ABS. Nothing to swap over.
About £1k. Im using my existing tyres swapping over.
Picture above is the 20'" version.

Some great wheels here http://www.rimluxe.co.uk/shop/?prod...pcd=5x112&widget_search=yes&post_type=product

O right. How the hell does it know what the pressure of the tyre is using the abs? Is it working out the drag on the wheel? I thought it was in the valve.

Just had a look on the Audi website. It does appear to use the abs sensor. That's going to save me messing about when I come to getting new wheels. I thought i was going to have to swap them over.

5×112 9" x 20"
Rims come undrilled and shop drill them to suit my hubs. Direct fit no interface flanges etc etc. Juts bolt directly on.

Had option to put 10.5' x 20" on rear but was devised against it due to rubbing issues. So 9' all round. My put spacers on once we see rims on car.

Nice ,what are the dimensions (ET&J)

Tyre pressure sensing is deffo done with abs sensor. All to do with rolling radius
I think it's actually to do with frequency of the tyre when full and deflated. It uses the abs to work out a frequency change.

ooo sounds interesting :) . wonder how the frequency changes between a worn and new tyre ??? as you have to reset it when you fit new tyres
 
New wheels on. Need my coilovers, 30mm front and 40 mmm rear spacers, RS6 brake installs. Happy I think they sit nice. Looking to drop between 40-50 mm on the bilstein coilovers.

I have to reset mine when I switch from my 19s to 20s for summer. It just measures your rolling radius on the move using your ABS/wheel speed sensors.
