Audi R8 x Octavia 1.4 in wet conditions

a few pics of my '07 1.9TDI. The wheels are A4 ronals, I bought them cheap with much gutter rash and refurbed/resprayed them myself.

very nice! std height?

[gldgti]

yeah standard height... does seem to look lower than normal though, must be the colour or something!

cheers!

The A4 rims look good on it! So many nice Audi rims around on their cars at the moment...want a set so much!

[gldgti]

nothing like some DIY to make it a reality. I picked that set up on ebay for $150. Spent 5 nights after work and $90 on paint. The big bonus is that they are real ronal wheels - not the lightest, but they are very strong rims, even with all the gutter rash on them they were dead straght - no wobbles or warps. Aftermarket and replica rims are always so fragile and for me atleast, have caused me endless headaches chasing vibrations at highways speeds. never again.

The cost of the tyres doesnt count, ofcourse

[zach]

are these 17s or 18s? thought audi wheels didn't have correct offsets?

[gldgti]

they are 17x7.5 ET56, the stock 16's that I had were 16x6.5 ET50 (but with balooning 215/60 oversize tyres).

I'd say with a 7.5" rim you could go to ET60 but thats about it. I think pretty much any 5x112 audi rim you'll find will be et56 or less, so you shouldnt have a problem.

I think about the widest you would fit under there without any modifications would be 8.5 with ET44 ish.

I was looking at these

which are ET50 so you'd need some small spacers (5-6mm) but I reckon they would look the business.

hmmm, wonder how these wheels would look on a white wagon ... black skirts, me like! : )

Black wheels would look nice on a white wagon but given the large panels especially on a wagon, you'd might want to opt for wheels with more or thicker spokes so that both parts are in harmony. Maybe something like VMR wheels? If I were in the market for a RS wagon, I'd go black with the oettinger wheels. Simple but real nice.
