What do you reckon guys......

I will be need ing 2 new front tyres very soon 225 x 50 x R17 and would be going for Pirellis or maybe Continentals. For 2 new I'd be looking at around £300, If I shopped around I reckon I could get that figure down to approx £240 fitted, maybe.
Anyways....I've been thinkin about another set of alloys for some time and saw these on Ebay, watched them for 4 days and bought them today.
£435 all in incl delivery for 4 brand new 5 spoke Genuine Audi alloys c/w brande new tyres on them ( continentals ).......jeeeesh, the tyres alone woulda cost me more for 4

17"-genuine-audi-alloys

Thoughts?

Jim

nice nice very nice...those almost look like my rims on the Jag. Very basic 5 star design but yet so sporty and unique looking at the same time! Those are going to look great on the Audiiii. Cant wait for the pics!

true ken, true.

I got my new alloys today and fitted them straight away

Took the 16 spokes off and thoroughlt cleaned them prior to storage and then fiited the new 5 spokes c/w new continental rubber

I cleaned down all the wheel wells and calipers, hubs etc prior to fitting............Jeez they look great on the car. 18's mighta looked a little better though

....lol
Maybe a set of lowering springs is in order?

Pics to follow next time she's clean and time allowing....hopefully soon

Jim

You're soo right bro, just been so busy with other crap.
I've had lots of compliments on them so far and am really pleased with the look. I promise without fail that over the next 3-4 days if the weather is good and I can get her all cleaned up to take some pics and post them up........just to shut you up

Sorry I haven't been around much, but no doubt you've been holding the fort, you n Biggie.

Catcha soon
