Very happy with the look!

Had to raise the front up ever so slightly due to tyre/coilover contact, but will fire a pair of 225 or 215 wide tyres on to combat this.

Opinions?

Looks good, although personally, i hate reps, probably because of the popularity. I had some bling ass 18'' reps on my mk4 when i got it. I changed them for a set of BBS 17'' splits, and lowered it quite a lot.

Im not bothered in the slightest what the wheels are tbh.

Really this makes them cheaper to replace when i belt a kerb at 200 leptons or stick it through a hedge.

Looks alright, bit too big imo and i certainly wouldnt have put them on in this weather just in case lol

Lol very true. My 18's were pretty tired. Now im too worried to drive it anywhere! Hopefully it will be sold soon anyway

Cheers mate, i really appreiciate complimants. But they do get mixed reviews. I just try to be different where i can. Even if it means spending more on the adapters and bolts than the actual wheels! Theres 40 bolts holding those bad boys on!

Opinions?

With wide ass tyres you're getting stuck in the snow! lol

Suits the RS6 reps a treat though. Makes the car look a lot newer.

I agree it does look newer which is win. Those wheels 18" would have been better.

How does it handle now Stanley?

the bora don't suit those wheels but the A4 certainly does. ive been looking at 8P S3 prices and there dropping quite nicley atm, the 8L prices are really low now a good S3 is really cheap now, i paid 16k for mine 7 years ago and would be lucky to get 5k now :(

I usually hate big wheels like that on hatchbacks but that actually looks REALLY well. Those wheels suit it perfectly and sits lovely. don't listen to anyone who says they are too big, looks great imo.
