i reread my response and felt it could be interpreted Im slagging of replica wheels.
Im not! Each to their own.
I just feel unsprung weight / strength etc can be real issues with most 'replicas'
Not to mention slowing your car down/ruining the handling
For the speeds/load you may be doing in a modded S3 (ED30  :grin:) you need a good wheel imho of course

Torn between two sets, but you'll all be the first to know when I post. :cool:

Still undecided between 18 or 19" and whether or not to go for a non-standard 235 section on 18's for a smidge more grip. :undecided:

Post by: gazbutmk5gti on 22 September 2008, 22:51
For handling 18's, for looks 19's :cool:. I know what it is, you can still get your free tyres with 18's, that'll be the yorkshireman in you :laugh: :laugh:
