thats a scary stretch at the rear .... Bolted straight on like that?
 
This your car? :) I'm looking for these wheels! :)

yep ;)

Obviously BBS, thinking they're 19"?? CH's?? I want to know exactly and I'm guessing there's spacers involved with this stance? I have no idea Haha!

These are 19" CH-R Winter Edition without Motorsport sign, Graphite Glanz colour. Params: 5x112, ET40, 8,5J. Only 6mm spacers at the front, because of the caliper size.

Please check my prev post: http://www.audi-sport.net/xf/thread...of-specific-wheels.93198/page-69#post-2508594

Sorry to ask a question that's probably been answered, though i couldn't find it.

Sprint blue S3's facelift, did they not come with rotas from the factory?

Love these wheels, definitely getting some... dumb question, but what are you gaining with the spacers? Looks? Performance? What do they do? Push the wheels out? Cheers!

better steering on tight corners (not understeer as stock) but I have also using the HPA Haldex blue controller for gen2 (actually at sport mode).
Definetely better look, wheels are push out and they aren't hidden so much as without.

Anyone got pics of the diamond cut rotor alloys but fully powder coated? Any colours will do - just looking for some inspiration!

20" Rotors from a A6, but fully painted in Hyper Silver in case of interest to you mate :)



Fitted to my previous A5

They look smart, I need to refurb and don't think I'll be going down the road of diamond cutting as its just too expensive. Out of interest how much can I expect to pay for getting alloys painted? Does the finish last?
 
Got those done at The Wheel Specialist for £400 for all 4. That was towards the higher end of quotes though....12 month guarantee on the finish which was handy (sold the car about a month after )

A fully painted, baked and lacquered finish will be much more durable than a diamond cut. No worry or white worm or other issues
