Check out the Rims sticky thread at the top of the page = there are plenty of ideas on there for what alloys will suit

I currently have my eye on these 18" RS6 replicas for my 3dr TDi 140 Sport. You can upgrade the tyre package if you like and they'll reply to any e-mail enquiries pretty quickly.

I dont know how they do that....I pay £500 for 4 tires...

I got some CH reps from http://www.lkperformance.co.uk/ the other week, there pretty good. Cost me £650 with falken ze19 tyres

 

[Boydie]

Personally, I would keep those rims on the SB - look sweet when lowered!

 

[aristides]

Why would you consider selling these lovely rims?

They look sweeeet

I personally think those wheels look great on your car. Compliments it well, like aristides stated.

They look good, just lower it!

Cheers everyone for your time and help, i need 2 new front tyres so was going to change the wheels, will decide this coming week and let you know..

 

[matayas]

take your £500 Buy some decent rubber to replace the bald tyres(£90-120a corner), Some lowering spings (£140-180) and some spacers (10mm front, 12mm rear £??) those rims have quite high offset, Car will look and handle looooooooooads better :thumbsup:

i know this might be a silly question but do your alloys in the first post pic have a lip on it? or is it just the edge of the alloy?

also what did you end up getting?

 

[musclefox]

For better pics have a look on the ebay site, thanks.
I ended up getting these ones http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd125/musclefox/DSC01606.jpg

19" Splits:

19" Helios:

Neither are £500 though - buy cheap, buy twice as the saying goes!

 

[aristides]

I still don`t get it

Change some lovely genuine BBS rims, and not even bother going for genuine again?

 

[N8]

So So true!

Everytime I see this shot I like it more. Red wheels and the red tail lights, really is the one for me.

 

[N8]

Gonna be purple rims by next week!

....with purple tail lights

 

[N8]

, no purple re-trim to match

I know but ive just spent £5000 on a custom rifle so didnt want to spend that much more on the wheels.

I think you will regret buying them, the polished finish will flake off in a few months you'll see!
