Yes they remind me a little of the helios rim, not sure what size to go for yet was really thinking of 18's with a nice drop on the car that way i can use the tyres i already have which are brand new,then get the car lowered  with the money saved :wink:

imho 19's will fill the arch better, then save and get it lowered at a later date?

sell your old tyres and put them towards some new ones job done  :party:

Yup - because the rim is black, they may look a little small in 18" as it'll blend into the tyre??
Sideways yo!

I like the Schmidt range of alloys and these are good looking too. The only thing I know I wouldn't like if I owned them would be the fear of white worm as they are polished and laquered fronts on that design. :happy2:

They are nice too. It was one of their new alloys last year. I still like the Jack-line alloy, but again they make them in 18" and the next one up is a 20"er :surprised: which I think is just a little too big.

They would look okay but look a bit out of place , why not consider the Helios wheel or another stock VW/Audi rim ?

failing that BBS CH ftw ! :laugh:
