dont really like the oem s3 alloys so got these , really impressed for the price ! :happy2:
-
Very nice, whats usually the best place/price for getting some of those?
cheers
-
they are ch reps , but they seem real good quality , not got the car yet to fit them !!!!!!! £400 delivered :happy2:
-
What size are they matey?
They will look cool on the S3! :happy2:
-
8 x 18 et 45 could nt afford the 19 inch ck s i really wanted so these will do for now , et45 should make them stick out more than oem which the s3 needs :happy2:

Why didn't you go for the VZ's? OE wheel and not much more money?
-
these were £200 less and will only be a temporary thing till i get 19 "ck s :happy2:

and the fact they are 1/2 inch wider, by my reckoning they will stick out 17mm more than the std(which are ET56 IIRC), which is desperately needed especially at the back :happy2:

Yep but come sale time the VZ's would have held there value far better than reps! :wink:

imo they ll still be worth £300 and if they re ok and look ok might get them re finnished in renault grey and stick with them AND the £200 left can go to custom code !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :wink:

Do you know what weight your new wheels are?
Those are my favourite BBS wheel I think.
-
i have t a clue what they weigh , there not that heavy to pick up! Tbh i dont really change wheels for performance just cosmetic

....Fair enough - Nothing wrong in changing your shoes your wheels for only cosmetic reasons. I have just recently become curious in knowing what weights various wheels are.
:happy2:
-
just not too keen on the oem s3 wheels and i thought they were a good buy , i would have wanted 2 sets of spacers on the oem ones to so have nt cost me too much more
gave them a few coats of polish /wax tonight got to say im impressed :happy2:
-
looking nice pal, id like to see them on the car
i might get some of these as winter wheels
-
me too mate !!!! cant pick car up till saturday morning now !!!!!! :sad1:
-
can you get those reps weighed if poss please mate? Guess circa 11-12Kg.
-

-
they weigh bang on 10 kg ! is that good ? :happy2:
-
not too bad at all, a couple of kg's lighter than stock I think :happy2:
yes stock S3 12.5kg
gen BBS CH 8x18 10.9kg
-
That's pretty dam good for reps!
-
will be interesting to see how they compare strength wise, I sure they'll be fine
