mine does this, and as several other people say its just a small amount os slop between the pad and the calliper thats "taken up" when changing direction. If it was a bearing it would do it on every application of the pedal.

thanks, but, that is too rich for me, I would rather say now before you go to the effort of sorting pictures. much appreciated, Rich

Thank you would you be prepared t send some photos and to ship them? I used yodel the other day and it cost me £49.00 to send 4 from chichester to Leeds? How much are you looking for?

Hi, What is the ET of the rims and width please? what tyres have they got on them? I would be looking to put them on an 04 plate 3.2 quattro, so need to be careful of them fouling the callipers. Where abouts are you? thanks, Rich

3mm is not enough! need 5mm, and then they poke put of the arches too much for my liking, any one know of some BBS LM's or replicas that will fit an A3 3.2 Quattro without going over flush from the arches?

thanks Martay

Hi All, fitting some new wheels to my car that I have spent some time refurbing. went to fit them today, and, despite a ton of research the fronts foul the callipers by about 1mm or a little more. I am going to fit a 3mm spacer, hub centric on each side, do I need to fit them on the rear as...

thanks, away at the moment, will take some when I get back but be prepared to be underwhelmed!

how do i post pics? Rich

no thanks Ian, I am going to stick with mine for now, the wheels on mine do not seem to be standard, they are "dished" quite a lot, and the mre I look at the car it looks good. It is an AUdi Germany development car, I got through a gut I know where I work, its well tricked up underneath and has...

thanks both of you, those look perfect, just saw a set of Bently alloys on an A3 today and the stretch looked a little too much, but probably needed it to get the clearance. My car is Phantom Black, so, with a set of these I think it'll look good.

thanks, have replied to guy with 3SDMs for sale, just a bit concerned that 225s on 8.5J's look a bit too stretched?

thanks for the tip but Ipswich is too far for me, I'm on the south coast..........very near 3SDM actually, I;ll see of they have some ones that need a refurb?

3SDM rims look stunning and at 140 a corner they are indeed a good deal. my budget inc tyres is about 600-700 so I really need to go for the second hand option. anyone know of any LMs or other rims like the 3SDMs? thanks to all Rich

perfect, thank you, grey one looks tough :-)
