theyre all a bit rubbish, buy decent second hand wheels for the same price.
S4 Avant. Eibach springs. 18" Avus. RS4 Intercoolers. Viper Tuned. Goes Fast.

i get what you mean mate, its just that my limit really is £250 for a set of 4 15"

if i could find better for that price then i would be more than willing to consider them.

Calibre Vintage if it has to be some of them but real splits would be better. Go down the second hand route. I know D90's are a bit done but they still look good IMO.
