Title: R32 replica wheels 8J
Post by: dirrty-derv on January 29, 2013, 11:49:02 am

Hi, been looking at some 18" R32 replica wheels on ebay, says they are 8J where as oem wheels 7.5J. Anyone fitted these and hdd issues with rubbing etc. Will be lowering misses MK5 GT TDI on sportlines before put the wheels on..

Or views on replica wheels, ive got some reps on my A4 and tbh there weak as piss

Thanks in advance
