Title: Need your opinions on alloy swap?
Post by: CraigDavieBeattie on 08 July 2010, 14:26
Hey guys, right today got a fone call and this guy wants to swap me alloys, ive seen his now and he's gonna change over all tyres to his wheels if i want to swap, so im not out done by my new tyres. He says there the real audi ones but to be honest im not fussed however i like the style. Theres no marks on them either. Mind mines are reps and both sets are 17 inch. Do you think its worth a swap?

Mines..

am i right saying they are the Audi TT Ronals or something? I think they'll look good but is it worth swapping? The reps of mines are nice but i only got these previously because i got a good deal.

looking good  :wink: how about a nice 40-50mm drop to just to sit it a touch lower :afro:
Title: Re: Need your opinions on alloy swap?
Post by: CraigDavieBeattie on 09 July 2010, 23:37
Well i might look into it, its sitting on 35mm springs at the moment, maybe better getting coilovers for going 50mm so its a safer and nicer ride. Do u think on 17s 50mm is 100% fine or will i get problems later on?

Post by: Wazzzer on 09 July 2010, 23:57
