Title: finally got new rims on
Post by: gazbutS3 on November 22, 2008, 10:26:05 pm
Had them for a week, not had chance to fit them, really pleased with them, thanx John, they are in mint condition, tyres are top. They are an inch wider than std wheels so fill the arches must better, wot you think fellas

I have to admit i never liked these wheels when you and Hurdy were discussing them on the other side.
But on the car car they look stunning and really suit the lines of the car.  8)  :happy2:

Looks nice Gaz,

Next mod lowering  :grin:

don't get me started, bin lookin at it this mornin, the rear ride height is ok, front little bit high. So if I put springs on it will be to low at the back, I've seen this on a few S3's, so it will have to be coilovers :smiley: Money's a bit tight at the minute, christmas etc so it will have to wait :smiley:

They are not far off a good height IMO, as you say just a bit on the front.  :smiley:

Check out the quatroporte' ride height, it makes a scirocco look slammed.  :chicken:

Those rims really suit the Audi. I always think the S3 looks a bit 'under-wheeled' as standard despite the originals being 18s. Those wheels really toughen up the stance.

Coolio  :drool:
