Cheers for that guys, I dont think they look big enough in 18's which I assume the black car is, and it def needs lowering on the 19's which I cant really do, so looks like its no for now!

I think they look great on a mk4 but not so much on the mk5, there are nicer wheels out there IMO. What wheels are you coming? The reason I ask is that I swapped my 17 monzas for 18 BBS LMs and they sit high a need lowering, if your getting new wheels chances are to get them looking perfect you'll need to lower.

Alan I currently have the 18" monzas that need refurbing, but for the price of that I could buy some reps so just playing around with the options!

That's exactly what i did Alexander. I had the 18" monzas on but where all damaged so just decided to change mine to the 19" rs6 type. It made more sense than to pay a bomb to get them all refurbished. To be honest 19" will look fine as they will fill the arch more anyway

RS6's are really cheapo now.
I wouldn't, would you?

I would and I did!

plus a point that is sometimes overlooked. They are an absolute doddle to keep clean. You can reach right inside the rim and behind the spokes very easy, and keep the wheels really clean without ever having to take them off the car.

Spot on mate!!!!

That's the main reason I bought mine. Had alloys in the past with 12+ spokes and I cried everytime I had to clean purely because it would take forever!!

Just wondering mate, are they reps or genuine Audi?
Title: Re: RS6 Alloys
Post by: hib747 on 26 November 2009, 10:09
Reps mate. Tried going for the genuine ones first but they won't fit.........miles too big!

Ah, ok. Were they too wide or were the offsets wrong?
