What do you think?

Post by Adelphi2 » Fri Apr 06, 2012 12:21 am

So was thinking of upgrading my wheels for awhile now and was walking down my road the other day when I stumbled upon one of these:

I know, I know, it's an Audi but the dark grey wheels really gave it a classy look and I took inspiration from it.

I didn't want to go black on black as I felt that would a bit too much so after a bit of research and hunting around, got myself the perfect wheels.

Here's the result:

Last photo is just to show the uber aggressive stance on the rear wheels.

Comments good and bad welcome :)

Thanks for the comments guys. :)

To answer a few of the questions:

1) yes I bought them that colour and was relieved to find that when I picked them up, they were darker than the pics made them look (due to the flash) so was even happier. Previous owner had them on an M3 and wanted a smaller and lighter set for track days.

2) the offset on the rear is very aggressive. ET 17 I believe or close. On the front, it was more sensible, something around 34 (I've got it written down somewhere...) so more in line with the car's body which is how the front should be IMO.

I always find that pictures don't do our cars justice.

They good in the pictures, which to me - means that they'll look fantastic in the flesh :thumbsup:
