As some had advised these dont really suit the car, and after living with them for a few days the ride was far too hard, and she was quite choppy on them.

Soooooo, i refurbed them and put em up for swaps, and got offered some RS4's (reps) with brand new tyres, it appears on the vag scene the 19's hold quite a big appeal, my svag pm box was burning.

These seemed the best of the bunch. 18 inch Et38 225/45's

What do you recon folks? Better than the A8's? Haha

your car looks lopsided - got an unseated spring ?

nope just the stupid wide angle lens, or road camber, im always measuring hub to arch

Can't say i've seen a picture of your previous wheels Lofty, but those look really tidy.

cheers coops, they were huge and cumbersome

Best wheels I have seen on your car so far.

haha, 5th set in 2 months. Think ive got it this time

Looks spot on much better than the 19s

Looking good lofty. They are 10x better than the a8's.

I find my 19s fine

But then im guessing up there bud is abit more bumpy

I do like your latest rims tho mate

Cheers guys, and Lloyd, the roads up here are really good. I think the fundamental difference between 19's on mine and on yours, is about 27k miles

get ally tape and blank them center caps out thats what i done on the rs8 reps

I think im use to harder rides too... 20s before them... Mk2 golf wound to the tyres before that

Hehe

I did try to use it more but i broke it :(

looks nuts. i have a soft spot for RS4 rims old and new.

Good move Lofty!

oh yea....I bet the 18s are fluff compared to 19s

Why did you removed the diaphragms on your headlights?

Thanks Gee man, im very pleased with them, they were advertised at £350 with new tyres and out the box condition, but the boy so keen on 19's he went straight swap, all i had to do was dangle the carrot.

seasachc ive got plans for my centres, heres what im putting in instead ~ http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ALLOY-WHEEL-AUDI-A2-A4-A6-RS4-RS6-A5-A8-CENTRE-CAP-BADGES-9-cm-9cm-90mm-90-mm-/160882388534?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2575566e36

make the wheels look more OE

Iulian haha, it has made quite a difference to ride, maybe better brand of tyres but alot softer ride, at least i feel it, and i dont know about the headlights i picked em up cheap.

Motor looks good Lofty! Like the new wheels, pity u can't get Skoda centres for them. Maybe Pasty could do u some customs?

And how did u tint the tail light? I like them!

was me that tinted em mate

Normal headlamps have some diphragms ....yours don't

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Ah i see. Well it doesn't seem to affect the beam anyway and it passed the mot.

I thought you removed them for a better beam.

BTW...where can I get a briskoda stiker for the hood,like yours?

Edited 27 November, 201213 yr by IulianE

Don't know whether it would improve it or not. Would it?

I don't really think so...it helps making the beam sharper,defined and not spread all over the place

I have aftermarket xenons and the bulb itself has an extra diaphragm,and the beam is very sharp....but the glare effect is still present because of the big mirror.

I was studing the subaru forester headlamp ,OEM xenons with mirror headlamps,the diaphragm is very similar to mine,but the mirror is much smaller,like 3 times smaller,and they still glare,but alot less,not disturbing

Keep them wheels they look awesome
