The Definitive Alloy Wheel Picture thread (Alloys)

I had a few wheel sets in the past. Please let us know what you think. Trying to look up some more. Happy driving?

They feature in post #9 Mark. That said, your lovely car deserves a place in this thread, those rims look great against the popping red paint.
Doh!!☺ Oh dear, I retract my previous statement. Thanks for the kind comments though Darren.
Edit:-It's post #3 I believe but your still correct @Darren C ?

Has anybody on here fitted the 16inch pepperpots to an A2 which, I think, were on the original A6:

Sorry if I’m being dense but assume a spacer pushes the wheel further from the hub? If so does that mean the car has a wider stance?

Yes and yes.

The A6 pepperpot has a specification of 7Jx16 ET45. If you used a 25mm spacer the offset then changes to ET20. If you then fitted 205/45R16 tyres they would be 18mm further out than the standard 205/40R17 tyres on 7Jx17 ET38 rims. You would get severe rubbing and the tyre is unlikely to fit within the bodywork so would be illegal.

I think the word ‘spacers’ needs to be amended to ‘adapters’. They will act as a spacer but the bigger issue is the stud pattern is wrong which is why you need them. The wheels I’m running require them.
