Post by: kingell on 15 July 2005, 13:06: Well would you recommend getting 19's or would it be too much of a squeeze?

How would you rate them compared to 18's?

Post by: Flipmode on 24 July 2005, 16:54: sorry to hijack this link a bit......i am currently using pirelli p6000 and have no compaints on my standard "16 mk 4 alloys. however, am considering upgrading to 18" myself and thinking about getting the 5-spoke Audi RS6 style alloys, have found them on internet for Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£380 alloys only and Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£899 with Goodyear F1 tyres. hard to find such good tyres at much less than this so am thinking about this Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£899 deal. Does anyone currently run either the RS6 style alloy or the Goodyear F1 and have any advice?? spending big chunks of cash like this makes me nervous ha ha.....also i think the tyres come in various off-set positions and i know virtually nothing about that !! any advice very welcome. many thanks. :wink:
