Anybody have personal recomendations of good companys to get a new set of wheels (metal nnot rubber) from?

Eric @ AAT has some and at very reasonable prices

What sort are you looking for (although I think I know that answer to this

I've got a few places stored in my favorites at home I'll have a look and send them to you. Demon Tweeks do loads of different ones and don't forget we get a 10% discount there (not sure if its on wheels tbh)

21" Chromed wasn't it?

Could a scan of ebay be a good one? I know I recommend them every bloomin' time someone enquires about good sources for wheels...

Anything straight spoked, 17's or 18's not quite made that choice...it's one of these spend to save debates and it's quite possible never to happen, but serves well to research these things.

Current hottys are:

There are others, but this is the general look and feel for a light green estate that do not make it look daft IMHO, it's really hard.

Play safe is RS4 Replica's

These I like aswell, how many locking nut's would I need?

No. 2 IMHO.

Couple of company's -- I bought my Kahn wheels from Demon-Tweeks -- and got my 10% discount.

Oh....I like those last OZ ones.

Personally I would go for six spokes in the style of nr 2.

Colin, does your Octy not already have locking nuts? If not, 4 - one for each wheel. Normally they come in a set.

Colin - how about Bromley?

Vagparts that Adrian found this morning has some nice Audi and VW sports wheels that might look good. People might think you were a wannabe though...

Rob.

Rochford Tyres here claim they won't be beaten on price. They seem to have some nice packages.

John Thompson (JayTee) has bought wheels and tyres from them IIRC.

Cheers,

Locking Q, was because the standard VAG one, is well standard, not really that secure is it?

Bromley asked about Fox 2, the top pic, but in the dark grey, sorry titanium, but he left a message saying he could not get as Fox do not make an fp2, which is Fox Premier 2, but hey ho. Need to ask him and not the lasss who answered, who I suspect forgot to expand fp2.

Dave,

Not the sames ones as above are they? Can't be having the same wheels you know, even if by accident.

I looked at a lot of multispoked wheels, just can't see them working on a light coloured *green* estate.

The lines of the octy need respecting and they are quite angular, thus thicker spokes are the order fo the day. There is somthing not right about a few thin spokes (4) on a large wheel, don't know keep seeing Nova's. But yes RS4 is wannabe kind of mindset...do I make this to hard for myself, I'll ask Tom, that should settle it!

Off to look at Rochford, got a tape of there music

we get 10% off at DT oh bollards.

:(

How about these?

Proper bling bling:

Easy to clean:

Q.

Like this Q?

Do they beat no2?

If you like flat spoke wheels -- you can go far wrong with Kahn's like mine :

http://www.briskoda.net/forums/showthread.php?threadid=3218

Q, that top one is truly awful, bling or not.

The second one looks almost as bad to clean as Mrs fen's Mondeo alloy. Might set the Wax Wizard a bit of a challenge.

Colin, I'm still with the original nr 2, cos of the broader spokes, but I can see where Q is going (other than mad! )

Cheers,

Colin, no its more like the ones on Jason's (but with 6 instead of 5). Wider spokes.

Changed my mind - I'm with Dave's now. Very nice.

Inded no2 Are Khan I guess as per yours Dave but without the splitter line in spoke centre...emailed relevant co's for prices...eeep

Colin

As the driver of your car's doppelganger, I agree on the thicker spoke wheels - the standard ones suit the car better than the 16" vRS estate ones in my opinion.

In 17 or 18's, I like the Oz ones you pictured and another idea is the Rondel (Audi Competition) wheels, which are chunky, discreet and easy to keep clean. (Was it DevonU that has some of these - certainly a Fabia driver).

Rob

Oooh, and what about these for style?

it must be a dutch thing...?
