What are the BBS's in the accessory cat? are they pictured on their website?

I do like the 19" split rim BBS's but refurb and new tyres will bump the price up and I don't want to spend too much on this car as its meant to be a more a of a cheaper workhorse than previous Audi's.

The Calitos are too similar to the Mk4 R32's Aristos and the Clio V6's so I want a bit of a change.

I've found some new 20 spoke BBS's with Conti's on German Ebay starting at 1280 euros but I haven't emailed about them yet as I don't know if I can be bothered using a translator trying to find out whether or not they'd post to the UK and if they did how much the postage they would charge, and with the Euro the way it is against the Pound it may work out too much.

How about these ones?

They're £749 with premium economy tyres so maybe around £900 with decent tyres.

I quite like the S3 wheel, never saw any reason to spend money on changing them on the S3.

The Wheelpower Forum link was really meant so you could post what you fancy and they'll tell you what they got / can get - they're fairly helpfull like that, and it saves spending tiem on the phone to people.

There were some OEM S3 wheels on Audi Sport a couple of weeks back. How about Oli's wheels in the Classfieds, maybe a bit pricey for you if its a run around.

Cheers SK

I quite like the MTM's but again pricey for my purpose and I would prefer silver alloys as the car is black. The tyres aren't desparate yet so I'll just keep an eye out for anything that catches my eye. I may just end up having a refurb and new tyres.
