Have you priced the rubber up for these yet? My wife has some fitted to her beetle and one is getting close to 1.6mm :cry: 235/35/19 from memory  :huh:

They are stamped "not OEM" on the inside but still look about the same and look cool



I'm enquiring about tyre prices

your alloys on the beetle are audi Rs4 replicas mate. they are most probably 8.5j with 235 tires.

this is what i have at the moment and i pay around £130 for 2 off ebay.

here is a link to the tires i have at the moment, i know they are cheap ones but they do the job!

nope just another 1, i have 4 replicas  at 8.5J but wanted some wider ones for the rear. so i will have reps up front and OEM on the rear.
