Not sure if it is of interset, but I upgrade my wheels to 17" about six months ago. The old chrome ones I stuck on ebay and made £275. They are very popular and had three chaps outbidding each other. Didnt really see the point in keeping them gathering dust in the garage. Anyway, they helped in paying for the nice set I have on now.

Fairbrother3202 I was one of those after your wheels, didn't get them [29]had to settle for A3 sports wheels which I had refurbed my my main agents body shop and shod with 205/50/16 Vredestein Sportrac 2 tyres total cost £370.00; cheaper than replacing my 205/40/17 dunlop rubber bands which would have been £440+VAT I now have a car that rides well[23]still goes round corners on rails and will have cheaper costs when it comes to tyre replacement (and this size is easily available unlike the 185/50's) My insurance company tried to charge me extra (for cheaper wheels) cheaky buggers got away with it in the end, also the speedo now reads correct at 70mph (still over at other speeds though)

Hi thanks with the crome alloys i was going to keep one for a spare as its better than the repair kit it will fit in the false floor i the boot and sell the other 3 wheels ind
I brought some 17" TT alloys to go on but they stuck out to far as the offset is different
got some 15" A3 12 spoke alloys as well but tyres are to big 195/65/15 may try them to see if they look ok if i can't get hold of any bigger alloys

I know a chap who does a nice selection of 17" alloys for audi's at a very reasonable price. Click on my link and you will see a picture of my A2 + 6 spoke's. Will pass on his details if you are interested. You can always e-mail me direct.
