Anyone know of/have a set of 18's for mkV?

Dealers are way too pricey. Any the replicas aren't sprayed. Checked out performacealloys.co.uk, replica alloys are finished in Silver.

Would you consider going for an aftermarket wheel like a BBS Gavin?

Nice try, but going to keep the car as original as possible. Bar the odd unseen mod..

Was in Phoenix, behind croker, at lunch time. The have the new spilt spoke RS4's, they look savage! Anyone seen these on?

Any pics of what the new split spoke RS4's look like.
Phoenixs are good to deal with, my brother got rims off them before for his Audi, they seem to be into what they are doing, which is a good thing.

Agree with you. Bought tyres and got a few things done to my last gti and everything was 100%!!

Found this site: RS4

Compared them to a set of 17" gti alloys he had in the show room. They are at least a good 5 mm deeper where the wheel nuts go (sorry not technical enough to know the real term for this...) Presume they will sit flush in the wheel arches.

Still looking for a set of 18" Detroits. Got a list price from VW at €240 a wheel exVAT and tyres... Anybody know a place to get them cheaper? How about up north? Anyone ???

Keep an eye on uk-mkivs you might get someone selling a 2nd hand set!

Sweet alloys alright, but really wanna keep the car original. I'll have to keep an eye out on the UK sites.
