Thanks for the kind words guys, I'm very happy they're finally on the car. They've been sitting in the garage for months.

They look great!

I'm jealous and might have to buy a set soon.

Bit the bullet and went with the budget friendly SSW 15x7.5 +30 wheels ($600). Forum member 'Ross' weighed them in at 5.7kg (12.54lb), heavier than the advertised 4.6kg.
They seem to fit 195/50 AD08r very nicely. Previous setup was 195/50 RS3s on 15x8 buddyclubs. Will be interesting to see how they compare

edit: It also looks like ad08rs have rim protectors whereas RS3s didn't from memory

If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

Tyres are good so far. Much better than the Kumho KU31 that was on it previously. They are a hell of alot louder though.

16x8.25 +15 195/45 tyres.

The Tyres aren't my cup of tea. Planning to get some 205/45 or 50 series rs3's or similar
