The original RS6 never came with 17" alloys? Did it?! I would have thought any 17" RS6 wheel is a replica.

i know this is the thing, lots of people are saying different things?!

Done a little research and they are called 5 arm but mainly known on the rs6 and the 5 arm was optional a3 s-lines in 17 and 18 but wer available in 19 on the rs6 aswell. 17s are very very rare in genuine form. Just go with the reps as they are made in the correct width and et.

S-line fair enough, but never the RS6. I don't think the original RS6 brakes fit under anything smaller than 18s.

The silver vrs in the pic with k8mtg is my old car, is it still about guys??

that's not his plate, must be the previous owners private plate when he bought it does look good though.

Thats my old car lol

Yupp, just most people call them rs6 as the style is more well known on that car. It would be great if the brakes fitted underneath 17s, how good would they look on a fabia.

The ones i put on there are 17" reps by the way i had them from wheel base

Really suits the Fabia IMO

17" S-line wheels wouldn't go on without adapters. They're 5x112

im fitting tt 312mm brakes on mine tomorrow?!?! wont they fit under 17" rs6's??

Yer be fine under 17s

cool cheers pal! shall i paint the calipers?? what colour, so many out there

Orange

i know all jokes aside eric, they seem pretty smart lol! but i dont know i dont wanna make it look chavvy or gash, i just wanna bring good attention to my new beefy calipers!

I was going red with mine but changed to kawasaki green last minute just to see how it compares to the original green. If not just go black, the new bigger shinny discs will draw enough attention.

Red is the standard for performance, brembo etc... Mine are red and look ok, sincs their nice big calipers they look decent.

Green is popular for skoda though.

hmm yea i know.. but is red too common, thats what my bro is saying anyway?? i like the sound of the new black look with the shiny disks, but they wont stay shiny for long lol

I'd say its common but tbh... Dont think i've seen many in a while. I couldnt decide on colour and cant go far wrong with red.

Vrs green looks best I think

My old car:

most 17's will be replicas, genuine ones are more concave, and 18/19" (think 17's might have been an option on A3/4's?)

yea medium ive done my research now and they did do genuine 17" which im definatly sticking with the size, i dont know what wheels to get man!!

might just paint my calipers gloss black?..

Just searched every S line A3/4 lists the wheels as 18" so I`d check over any "genuine" 17`s carefully.

Matt, how much was your strut brace mate, im looking for one, wheres the best place to get one to fit?
