Here you go. Off the mrk4 website. Its a guy called Sisson on here. Ask him about the RS6's...

 

[hon_n_gem]

yep, im liking the rs6 definatly. now all i gotta do is convince my insurance company. wot sorta prices do u think i could get for my alloys?

I'm personally not a fan of RS6 wheels on an Ibiza - they look great on an Audi mind.

I just think they look too chunky and clumsy. I'm going to go for some of these BK Racing 299's for mine...

[andycalvia]

would you be selling your old FR alloys? if so how much for? and what condition are they in?

 

[hon_n_gem]

yeah i am looking to sell em, the only thing i dont like about em is that they dont fill the arch and that there a bit annoying to clean! basically cars done 8000miles and all wheels are basically brand new, one of then has a nick about a cm long. keep the pics coming in. hopefully after my exams i will look into new alloys and will post in the selling section!

Sorry to jump in on your thread, but I am hoping to replace my fr alloys soon. They are the 16s from the mk4 with only 600 miles on them. There are no marks on them as they are almost brand new.

Make me an offer.

Thanks

Sorry to be dense but I have never quite understood this. If you replace your 16" wheels with 17" ones, the normal course of action is to replace the 45 profile tyres with 40 profile versions to maintain the gearing and speedo accuracy. This means that the overall diameter of the tyre remains the same, so I don't see how it fills the arches more than the original wheels and tyres. Could someone please explain.

lol yeh goodpoint. If you want the arches to be filled all you can do is lower suspension!

***Christopher M*** where abouts do you live? If you live close enough to me il be interested in the Alloys you got.....

I have a set for sale too, just been too busy to stick on ebay, Newish tyres, all clean apart from one which was slightly kerbed when i got it. Also has a fifth mullered FR alloy which could be refurbed, and will also chuck in the 16" steel spare as i do not need, sitting in the garage looking sad not on a car , so make me an offer. Oh i'm in Kent, so can meet half way ish, if need be

 

[Deleted member 11127]
