They go out in Birmingham?

 

[Weeman]

how do birds end up looking like cheap leather jackets out of interest?

Very good point, They spend an age rubbing cream's and fancy expensive things on, yet still end up with skin like that. They actually need tanning, then they will stay youthful.

Wheels.

I have the opportunity to get these:

What do you reckon?

 

[Scutch]

Really like that, Mike.

Big no from me on the above wheels, mind.

 

[Mike_182]

I'm going that way. Plus I've got to think about issues of clearing calipers on Audi rims.

 

[Scutch]

 

[Mike_182]

Want. Did they do them in 18s?

 

[Scutch]

Sadly not, mate, only 13's. PMSL.

Still, would look good even at that size, no?

 

[Mike_182]

Word.

 

[Waitey]

They did do them in 18's. Ronal made them to order!

 

[mugglesquop]

Are they 18s, and are they for sale? Link is dead.

19 Inch Audi S-Line Split Rims

Ceramic polished and lacquered.

Fronts are 8.5 ET48 - BBS
Rears are 9.0 ET52 - Speedline

These wheels are perfect for the Mk5 Golf or new A3 due to the widths and offset.

Condition is good but there are some signs of discolouration to the polished finish. I ran these for about 9 months. The rain and road salt penatrated lacquer so I took them off before any corrosion was able to set in. Very slight imperfection and may polish out. The BBS have a slightly darker tint to the finish for reasons unknown to me. Maybe due to the difference in the alloy between manufacturers? A couple of the bolt holes are slightly raised on the 9's. This does not affect the wheels -tyres hold pressure fine.

Wheels are located in Beaconsfield or NW London.

Can post at buyers expence but prefer collection.

£1400 or near offer.

 

[Mike_182]

Got there in the end, and no, and no. Not at that money!

 

[Waitey]

Wahts wrong with the new RS4 rims?

 

[Mike_182]

Pics?

 

[Waitey]

19" so will fit over the stoppers

Extra-long cable ties = done.

 

[Mike_182]

19" is too big for my plans. Probably won't tuck under the arches either. And they're a few hundred notes a pop.

 

[Aluco]

Don't be so gay, both of those sets of wheels are incredible !

 

[Waitey]

They'll fit! Old style RS6 round here with 20's on it! Ceramic brakes in it though mmmmmmm

 

[Waitey]

Win?

[Mike_182]

Want. But I'd get castrated if I spent a grand on wheels. It'd have to be the blacks as well.

 

[Waitey]

You'd get £500 back from selling the others wouldn't you?

 

[Mike_182]

I like the thought. Stop it! You'll get me in trouble!

 

[Waitey]

Call BBS up direct and ask for a price.

I did the same for my TVR wheels. Got them at £80 each rather than £300 each.......

 

[Mike_182]

BBS on the Trev? And how does that work?!

 

[Waitey]

BBS on the Trev? And how does that work?!

No i didn't mean it like that.

Trev's wheels are made by Team Dynamics. I called the factory and asked for one. I paid £80 for it.

Try calling a BBS stockist direct. Or get some sent from Germany.
