I thinking of going euro by losing the kit and dropping the car some more but trying to decide on wheels, Going to go for 19s but not sure what to go for. Was thinking about a set of A5's, BBS LM's or CCW Classics but I'm open to any suggestions.

I had some A5 19 inch 9J wheels fitted to my A4 (MY2010) they have a very extreme ET which meant the clearence on the front arches (ie. how far they stuck-out) was not a lot. Plus the A5,A4 and Q5 have different spigot sizes, so you would need spigot rings.

I like the look of the VOLTEC T6 from Barracuda (in Blackchrome with an INOX rim).

(Just had a look at the data sheets for the A3 models from barracuda and they also have a similar ET as the A5!)

No worries the wheels I'm runnin at the minute are a different spiget size, I just got the wee plastic things in them and they fit sweet. I have it lowered but doesnt scrape too much as I have it pretty hard, I value looks over comfort lol

This wont be too much of an issue soon anyway as I'm ordering a set of OSIR wide fender kit soon

Those Voltec T6's are sweet, a lot like the BBS LM's but a bit of a change, must take a look an see what sorta money they are

are those tints on the front legal? coupled with that (dare I say, chav?) sunstrip, I can't believe you've not been tugged for that!

Ive actually made some changes already since the pic, Tints an sunstrip are gone a while ago now. Kit is coming off in the next couple of weeks. Shes then going very low an then a new set of wheels are on the cards. Fancy a more subtle look lately

any other suggestions about wheels?
