Holy s**t!!

Didnt think I would like that but WOW!!

Amazing.. what size wheels and tyres?? How do you get around the issue of the wheel fitment?
 
I like them too. Would remove the Bentley Badge tho'
 
badge is kind of a main part of the wheels otherwise they would look like reps

cheers Jonny

the wheels are 9 x 19 with 215/35/19 tyres stretched on and ET 41 so the fitment was easy
 
Looks really good Simon. You want to get some new rear lights and also some lamin-x to finish off the black and white look.

by the way, what's up with your exhausts? They look a bit wonky.

Do you know how much room you have on the inside of the wheel before you would have problems, I was looking at a set of wheels that were ET52 19x9 so it would be 11mm closer to the inside of the car than yours..

What coils are you on by the way?

I just think it would tone them down a bit. The whole less is more kinda thing.

Surely it's about how the look on the car and not about whether they are genuine Bentley items. With an Audi badge I think they would 'belong' more.

Still it's your motor and bravo for the bold decision.
 
im loving the wheels, stretched those tyres on ? what are they? any rubbing?
 
Just out of interest which tint did you go for Marc and Jonny?
 
audi upgrades
Was just checking as Mitch and Marcs' seem darker than Jonnys' - wondered if they had gone for 'gunsmoke'.

Wonder how it would look on sprint...

might remove them now as they do nothing with these wheels being so wide. Yeah im going to STAR performance Jim has been a friend of my dads for years but i still dont get any discount lol
 
That looks awesome, keep the bentley centre caps definately. Baller status :cool:
 
that looks stunning mate! very nice. you selling your old wheels? PM me if so :icon_thumright:
 
They looked pants on the golf but christ they look kick *** on your A3 mate...........quality work, well done!! Would never have guessed they would have looked that good!!

............how much lol??
 
These look absolutely incredible!

That will look so cool pulling up with those on - can you imagine if you could incorporate the gyroscope system Rolls Royce has so that the 'B' stays upright all the time? Has any other manufacturer started doing this yet? Ultimate status.
 
I'm sure most people in this forum would disagree, but mate, they look stolen. People in the 'scene' may love them, but regular folk on the roads will think you're a dodgy f**k with stolen wheels (who wishes he had a Bentley). Just my two penneth. :angrymod:

Personally, my first thought would be 'how'd somebody manage to nick a set of Bentleys? what balls!'
