They are indeed mtm bimoto's

They are MTM Bimoto replica's, I should know, I just sold a set of genuine ones!.. in a similar shade of anthracite aswell!

Genuine ones are only available in 19" for 8L S3 5x100 fitment, these replicas are available in 18" and doesn't have 'MTM' stamped on one of the spokes, like in the pic below.

Just for reference, the replicas are called '007'(double oh seven) alloys, and are as rare as the genuine item to source!

Andy, you need some 15mm spacers on the rear and 10mm ones on the front!

That's an older pic jojo! Spacers were fitted to pass an MOT as the tyres were rubbing on inner arch on full lock. Personally, think the size of tyre 235/35/19 is too big and will be fitting 225 or 215/35/19 when they need replacing next. Drove the S3 with the RS3 engine in it from Storm and car was running 225/35/19 and tracked much better. Purists of course will argue (rightly) the case for 18"!

I've tracked my S3 on 19s and 18s, lightweight 18s is the best compromise for performance and agility for my car's setup it has to be said! I would still have the MTMs for looks though, they suit the S3 down to a tee, but I also have a set of 19" Porsche Cup rims, so had to let the MTMs go... sadly.

I originally bought the set from FazS3 with tyres for £900 and they were mint. On the way to pick up my new bike my mate buckled a couple having gone up the kerb. To replace cost £350 each + VAT. Delivery was an additional £50.

There's a set on Pistonheads if you search for RS4s... £1200 I think...

QST do 8x18 and 8.5x19s
£1k for 18s and £1360 for 19s, both +VAT

Interesting, the pics of the 18" versions are not of the same design as the original 19" versions.
