My neighbours got a set from the a4 final edition that's been sat in his garage for about a year now and I know they were desperate to get rid of the things. Send me a pm and if you want any info I'll pass them on.

that looks wicked but then I'm abit biased mate cos I just bought a set cheap off pistonheads to spray either gunmetal or a carbon grey to match my new look. BUT....
The bstad told me they were et43 and after spending 2 hours sanding one down I now know they are 33 not 44 buggabugga bugga
ssorry to hijack the thread but love the look of OP's first pic and wanna go for it...
Will they fit or do I finish the colour work ans try to sell on????

Sell them, you will have problems unless the width is 7.5j or less. with a offset of 33.  :sad1:

...On my Steel Grey 3door, can't decide. Should I? :indifferent:



I'm torn between those, some LM reps in a similar colour, Charlestons or Audi S-Line splits  :party:
All of these will be in 18" on stock springs for now.

Opinions? I can't decide if RS4's are too aggressive or suit the Mk5 nicely?


That looks awesome!


How much are they?
Would the size be the same as standard Pescara's??
Im tempted!!!

^ The ones in the pic I posted are either 18x8 or 19x8.5 Ifti. Not sure purely because I found it on a google image search when I was bored  :laugh:  :signLOL:

I'd say they look like 18's though with a nice drop?
I'm not going bigger than 18x8 so hopefully they'd look okay  :smiley:

Pretty sure those grey RS4's are 19'' not 18's.
The tyre profile looks very low.
They look awesome on the car though!

They will fit a gem as howard states ^  :happy2:
My (unfitted) Monza II polished reps are 18x8 et 45 too.

Btw, bloody good price are they not mate, even for reps? They look a very accurate replica I must say too.
