Looks really nice Chris!

 

How do they 8.5J fit at the rear? Any rubbing or fit completely fine?

 

Is your car lowered btw?

 

Thanks,

 

Mal

Hi, they fit great and there is no rubbing as of yet but not particularly pushed the car hard since they've been fitted will update in a couple of days.

Yeah my car is lowered it's running Bilstein B-16 PSS10 coilovers :)

Thought so, you've got a really nice set up going on there Chris  :)

 

I'll await your update as im looking at getting some 8.5J's all round 19" ET48 - So im guessing it will fit just fine (Im not lowered either which should help fitment etc)

Did you ever buy the bbs chr's? And if so did they fit ok? Im looking to go with them also as for resale value and easyness to get rid of when i dont need them anymore. Im lowered 25mm all round, what setup should i go? 8J all round? And et50?

Can't make a decision on what new rims to go for...CH-R are obvious choice as suite the VAG cars...almost pulled the trigger on a set!

 

I'm liking the look of some of the TSW collection though and I like what I see...these in particular...

Any thoughts on TSW as a brand and whether they will do the car justice?!

It's a matter of taste I know, however opinions don't hurt :)

Sap my opinion with TSW dont rate high, i think there a bit chavvy, especially compared with BBS. But that is souly my opinion on them and just a personel preference. If you like them thats all that matters :-)

See I kinda agree with you...trouble is BBS are damn nice wheels just see too many of them on German cars.

Vossen would be my next port of call but the RS3 wont fit those sexy concaves under her arches!!

 

Group buy sounds interesting to me too...just need to decide on a rim first!!

ABT wheels are made by Borbet who have good designs of their own at a fraction of the cost.
