Wheels
« on: September 11, 2012, 10:28:56 pm »
Unfortunately I don't have the £ to buy genuine BBS alloys, so have to get some reps.

Can anyone point me to a good place to get some ED30 style wheels? looking at 18's. whats the best size to get just for a straigh bolt on/std fit not modding.

when you say SAFE < any other size is problematic?

Might be worth keeping an eye on the for sale section on here as sets do come up for sale.

Also check some of the Audi forums as they were an option on the A4 but are not called Pescara's, and i can't for the life of me remember what they are called.
