Dark Arrow (tmavá šipka) - an evolution.

TBH, I personally prefer these ones too.

Slowly considering downsizing to 17's, purely because of km/yr I do and tyre cost.
... Do these new ones come in 17's?

hey gents, I've yet to take daytime SLR photos of these wheels so I might still be able to sway the doubters yet

also the shadow chrome refinishing makes it next to impossible to reproduce how the naked eye sees these wheels in photos ..... here's another poor iphone attempt from this afternoon -




Rob I didn't get to weight the old and new brakes, but I'm told that this ECS kit should be 1-2lbs lighter than stock, per corner.

cbay yes the wheels are Audi A8 flat fives (18x8.5 et45) ... no idea what other sizes they originally came in sorry Mysto.

Brakes are sweet - did you get a chance to weigh these before they were fitted to compare with stock? I couldnt find any info on them via google..

I have to say the wheels look better than i thought they would, but i still prefer the rays

+1
i prefer the rays too.
not a fan of these ones

I didn't think I would like those wheels but upon seeing them on an octy, I actually quite like it. are they the fat 5 audi rims?

mate, you're in luck! came across these.

AUDI A3 RIMS WHEELS 17inch

although on second look, they're slightly different. The face looks like it has a sharper edge as the spokes move inward to the centre... generally more flat and angular, particularly where the spokes meet the outer rim now that I've compared with Todd's close up.

but if you're looking for that flat five-spoke look in 17", i think it's a decent alternative! (i'd go for these if i had some spare funds)
