    Yes Tony that is the plan. However I broke my instep (left foot) about 25 years ago so obviously automatic would be better from that point of view. Might opt for semi auto at least I can still use gear hand to change up or down. Lol

    My thoughts exactly Rob Lol. It is a beautiful red s-line but I always have my hand on the gear stick and one on the wheel. i bought it for quickness but it was my fiancee's choice. I'm seriously thinking of trading it in (kill the whole wheel problem). Thinking logically it might cost me an...

    Just out of interest guys where are you all at regarding auto and manual with the s-line. I know its totally unrelated I just thought id ask. You'll probably say its down to personal choice. If there is quite a bit of power under the hood (mine being v6 tdi) is there a feeling of more control...

    Thanks for the info Tony I will have to give it some thought. In all honesty I'll probably look at 18s (original oems) as the car as it stands I feel is having performance issues anyway with the wheels I have on the car at mo due to calipers etc. Will keep you guys updated of any changes, and...

    Hi Rob I'm glad your in the conversation. I've seen Tony's rims they are beautiful I'm just a little concerned about the overall stance and performance (I'm sure you know what I mean) and I know what you'll say, "performance or looks". I just want you guys to know I really really appreciate your...

    Are they original audis Tony (sounds too cheap if they are), also have you seen the conversation I've had with Rob about the calipers as they're special edition. We both think 99.9% that they are the original set up. i was toying with the idea of just going to 18s originals but my heart always...

    Hi Rob, I've just come across genuine rs4 alloys with et43 8.5j x 19s I know they're not 18s but will they cover the calipers comfortably do you think. The only other issue apart from the alloy measurement is the tyre spec which are 255/either 35 or 40/r19 but I could change them to 235/35s. I...

    Yes mate, taking on board our conversations I feel the car would probably perform better (to say the least). Even on the et45 offset of the 19s the wheels don't feel like they are spinning freely. Also Rob, with the stance of the car it would probably look better as well. Cheers

    Yes I know Rob it's just a mine field. I just can't justify paying up to a grand for a set if I was totally sure I would probably go up to £700 for 18s or 19s. I have more than less made up my mind now to go with 18s. But no good on fleabay or gumtree at moment. Any pointers would be...

    Sorry no luck thanks for asking. I've looked everywhere, ebay etc, but no good. Looking for audi originals or bbs 18s or 19s but nothing doing. If you have followed my conversation with Rob it has been a nightmare trying to out offsets etc. Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

    Thank again Rob. I will find out as much as I can. Not sure if they are genuine rs4 breaks etc, only going by what Halfords autocentre comment today in Birmingham. What ever way dress it up the calopers are right up against alloy wheels rear. Many thanks

    No Mate I haven't changed the breaks or wheels I've been told that I might have to change the breaking system and calipers at the front of car at cost of £1500 but no way I'm going down that road. As you said in last post perhaps I can install 3mm spacers to solve issue of calipers rubbing...

    Thank you for replying to this thread GDCAUDIA4B7. I don't know if I can or not. I've got it booked into the garage for them to look at in the morning at 9am, hopefully this can be resolved. The previous owner put big rs4 breaks and canipers on the fronts originally. If I could have spacers...

    Hi again Rob, I don't know if you can help me I've taken onboard regarding alloys etc, apparently it seems I have a much more immediate concern. When I bought my car present car A4 B7 saloon recently then alloys are rubbing against the front break calipers and have been told it will cost me...
