my new wheels rs8 18"

[bluepassion]

i think the mrs got fed up of me asking for new wheels

:)Very nice ....I like :D ... how much?

I want these wheels too, I think it gives the car a stronger stance, and it makes car look bigger and more powerful, therefore it should be safer to drive as the ****s that dangerously overtake it will think twice ... My opinion anyway :)

Dear Sir

Did you have to use wheel spacers when you put on your wheels and have you lowerd you car or do the wheels fill the space between wheel and arch

Thanks

Mr b

[bluepassion]

hi Mr b no i haven't used wheel spaces and i haven't lowered it but there isn't a lot of room between the tyre's and arches

[Mr b]

Thanks for your reply, so i take it, it looks like its lowerd having the larger wheels and larger tyers


Thanks

There isn't much of a gap with the standard 16'' rims so the larger alloys make it look lower but it's also fairly low to start with! A side on shot might help a little...

Looks fapping great on those rims too btw :D

I have these wheels (albeit 17") on my A2 - I pointed them out to the Sales guy when bought the car, saying I didn't think they were standard, but he insisted they were! :rolleyes:

Anyway, I had a pretty impressive blow-out on the way home last night. When I took the wheel off to have a look at it, I noticed it had worn quite a bit of the inner rear wheel arche away! The other side doesn't look too bad, so I'm not sure if the puncture caused this or not. The tyre showed quite heavy wear to the inside...

Tyres are 205/17/40.

I just wondered if the offset on these wheels are suitable???
