looking for some cheap alloy wheels, ones that look okish lol. Need to be correct offset so i dont have any issues with clipping my calipers. 18's i prefer. And dont need tyre's. Got a set just now but they clip my caliper's when new break pads fitted. Dont really want spacers. Any1 any idea's?

why do you not want spacers? you wouldn't really notice 6mm in appearance; and it would sharpen up the turn in at the same time:) win win:)

fair enough; I am running 15mm rear spacers with no problems and soon to be putting 10mm forge ones on the front.

The offset you are looking for is et35; and wheels such as rs4/rs6 replicas can be had for £300 iirc. The grade of alloy used in these reps does vary, so pick carefully i'd say! :)

i've heard loads of bad things about them? Plus i may get some rubbing with them

you have to make sure you get hubcentric spacers and then you won't have any problems, using spacers is the same as getting different offset wheels so there won't be any rubbing
