Just so you get an idea, this was mine last year on 16" Imolas. The main reason I went for 16's was because they were cheaper and so are tyres. I'm also looking for a set of OEM 17's due to a possible brake upgrade in the future.

Will your Imola's be up for sale anytime soon? Thinking of getting a set to put on my car to sell as I sold mine, and keep the Classix for winters on my next car (for the same bigger brake reason).
Used to have Edition 30 - number 009 and a GT TDI 140.
Now have an S4 B8 Avant (stage 2)

They will be eventually but probably not this winter just because I'm also saving for a holiday in Florida in march so having to do little bits at a time. Would would you be needing them just out of interest?

I don't need them as such, but as 17s are so expensive I'm thinking of keeping my current Classix for the next car (it'll have 345mm brakes) and putting on some good condition Imola's as they were original to mine.
If I go this route I'd need a set within a week or two as I plan to sell the car at the end of the month once it has 13 months MOT.

Ok no probs. Tbh the ones I have are not in the best of condition. Think I paid £150 for them and they could all do with a refurb. At the time it didn't matter what they looked like too much. As long as they were round being winters and that. Bought them to keep my fragile Charlestons away from the gritted when they decide to go abit mad with the salt.

I wish I'd kept mine as they'd have gone straight onto our Altea too, they all look a bit messy with the whiteworm after a while.

Will keep my eyes peeled, got a set of OEM 16" steels here that I won't be using but can't sell the car with those on!
