RS6 replica alloys

[Benny]

ok decision time ordering later tonight.. 18" RS6 alloys and some Falken FK 452's 225/40/18

What you guys think?

will they rub on the arches or will they sit nicely?

 

[jonjay]

Rub arches? What on earth do you think LCRs have? 18 inch wheels

 

[Benny]

just checking better safe than sorry

last thing I want is have rubbing arches ruining the new tyres

 

[jonjay]

It will be fine mate. Only think i will say it the car will probably handle better (wider wheels) but go slower because they are much heavier.

handeling at the moment is pants lol got 195 firestone aka ditch finders

not too bothered about speed, there tends to be a speed camera around every corner here..

LOL Rik wtf?

You span at 70 and nearly crashed into a police car? Car damged? you ok? you joking?

Interesting point regarding the weight of replicas vs oem. I have some 17" original Audi TT wheels for my Golf, they are very heavy.

A friend has some RS6 replicas and one genuine Audi RS6 wheel, all without tyres, which he plans to sell. The genuine wheel is noticably heavier than the replicas. A higher unsprung weight is bad for the way the car drives, however I'd still rather rely on genuine Audi wheels for strength.

Very interesting indeed. Thinking about it m3ssy on here bought some rs4 alloys which buckled...

i came round the corner, slammed on and cos my front brakes will stop even slick buying a set of wheels for 50 quid the front end went left and the back right, corrected it and it went the other way-snaked about...then just let off the brake and rolled out of it. doing about 40 by time i passed pc plum of the bradford-mory police

 

[jonjay]

Admit you drive really fast on the ring road up there?

bradfords constabulary isnt the best i must admit. I remember once going a little bit fast towards one then slammed on, they didnt even look at me! Great success.

On another note alloys have been ordered ordering tyres next week so will post pics once fitted

Very nice. I would have said to lower it slightly to finish the look but that looks pretty damn good anyway.

 

[RikH]
