Title: Mk 6 alloys on mk4 - what they called and what do I need to fit?
Post by: daveob1g60 on 03 October 2013, 22:32: Managed to crack one of my rs4 alloys today so time for a change!

Seen a picture on here of mk4 with I think mk6 wheels?

What do I need to fit them. And what are they called?

Is it just a case of just getting spacers?

Want to keep the kind of oem alloy look but any other suggestions?
