i would say go for the SEAT Sport BBS...DanGB's looks mint and those black coated ones look tip-top as well

u just missed me selling a set of bbs seat sports a week or so ago

as for RS4's, wouldnt touch the normal silver ones... they look shite imo... mine are the hypersilver kinda ones that are like a chromey colour.

theres a guy on here with 2 white leons in his sig and one has a aero kit with fr rims i'm sure... the fr 18s actually look pretty damn good if u want to maybe see if theres any of those going cheap 2nd hand

 

[Rangers]

Yeh cheers I was looking into them, think there called Andromeda's.

As for me just missing you sell a set of bbs seat's...Just unfortunate.

A few pics of my car, with the 16's. I'm planning on getting the rs4 18" replica's but before I do that anyone know what the offset/ET for these are?

19" BBS CK's a popular choice although not cheap. I've had mine since December and love them.

The following Pics will give you an idea of the size on a Red Leon

This will also give you an idea of the 18" size option:-

Aren't yours CK's the same as mine?

Sorry my mistake, it's was a typo through lack of sleep (8 month daugther keeping us up)....I've corrected my post to avoid any confusion.

Nick started the trend with these with ZBoyd following suit. I personally prefer the CK's to the CH's.....

RS4 reps.. highest offset u can get is 45 so make sure u get that.

 

[Rangers]

Oh rite cheers. 5x112, offset 45 it is then thanks.

I know its been a little while since this thread was properly seen by anyone but myself but here are some pics of the rs4 rep's I got fitted yesterday...But first of all this is what it looked like before the transformation...

Pro Race 1.2's seen here. Maybe not the prettiest wheels out there, but they save 3kg per wheel off the OEM jobbies.

Can You tell any difference (ride, handling, performance, consumption?) after switching to lighter wheels?

Performance is sharper, handling seems a bit keener. Not sure about consumption yet because of the performance and handling tests

Edit - By the way I am not a person who thinks the slightest thing gives gains, but I am sure these have made a difference, albeit a subtle one.

Can understand that
