RS6 alloys 18" ....will they look any good?

[daz_cymru]

ive seen thease on ebay but im not sure if they will look any good as there quite big...there 18" from an a4 s-line and ive got a 1.6s leon.....comments anyone?

 

[DannyC87]

they look like the rs6 reps which look great on a leon. however if they are original audi ones i think they will have the wrong pcd? someone confirm

You can get PCD adapters as they're 5x112. You'd be better to get the reps and could prob get them with tyres for the same price as the genuine items.
Have a search for 'RS6 Wheels' there is loads of threads and pics on the forum.

The problem i've found with reps is they are made to a budget and crack easily, the metal is also softer. Get the OEM ones and spend a little more.

Edit: Forgot to say, they will look wicked!

How does that work with PCD adaptors to fit the 5x112 in lieu of 5x100, do you still need spacers to clear the Brembo's?

[sorry thought you had an LCR]

 

[lc_allan]

PCD adapters due to their size will act like spacers as well as they are either 15mm or 20mm I forget. Handy for people who do have Brembos or brake upgrades.

As said by daboy, reps can be a bit hit and miss for quality but there is still a lot of people on here with a set.
Not so many with genuine versions.

Mine were 8inch wide rims and 10mm spacers and they were right in line with the lip of the wheel arch.

So if the adaptor is ~20mm you'd need to make sure they were no more than 7.5inch wide rims

Assuming the same offset obviously

 

[lc_allan]

Just looked and the minimum seems to be a 20mm thickness. So yeah would have to get a higher offset. Might be close with the wheel arch as with yours.

Reps with spacers would be my choice as well.

cheers for the info ...does the audi a3 have the same stud pattern ect as the leon?

 

[lc_allan]

No I think all Audi's are 5x112. Not sure of the latest 07/08 models but I'm pretty sure they'll still be the same.

they would have to be different yeh ...trying to be posh :haha:

Hi guys. I got RS6 18", have a look at pic on left! Fitted straight on . Oh I did need to get new wheel bolts though, as my original SEAT alloy wheel bolts had the round seating and the RS6's had the tapered type.

But these are not original RS6's by Audi. I have the Italian made versions. Correct offset and centre hole diameter 100mm.

Get some RS6 replica's I think they look good........just depends on quality
