lol i have just been to have a look at the discs that my mate has in stock and they are massive but £500 gets you the cupra/r32 setup but either would look the dogs nuts behind your new rims  :wink:

ok i will give you £ 700 for the RS4 but that would be fitted.  :grin:

I think the R32 set up will be enough for me so once the wheels are on i will check the gappage and then you will have a PM.  :party: :santa:

I am pretty sure that they will clear the wheel, Luca reckons they dont stick out anymore than the gti ones and even if they do it will only be a couple of mil me thinks.

18's won't clear and most 19's need to run a 15mm spacer with this set up  :happy2:

Go on do it you know you want to they flipping Immense. I was out in an RS4 doing 150 hit the brakes and we where doing 45 within 150 yards. I was hanging out of the seat lol.

Are the calipers cast iron like the Porker ones or billet alloy?. If they are iron then they will weigh a HUUUUUUUUUge amount!!
