I got them from wheelbase (try Ebay). Think they where £800 or £900, cant remember exactly as it was a while ago. Thanks for all the pos comments chaps.

Looks nice mate . Maby could do with spacing the wheels out a bit?

Totally agree, i am actually on the lookout for some Sec Hand spacers at the min, bit reluctant to splash out on brand new ones, but will if i need to. It needs lowering aswell so will get these both sorted pretty soon.

The polish is Autoglym, This is the first time i have actually tried this polish and found that it is really easy to apply and buff off. I was using meguairs paste wax before, but it took a fairly long time to bufff off. The autoglym stuff was applied and removed within half an hour and i am pleased with the results.

have a fiddle on photoshop or similar to an u can get the darker pics looking prety good, just takes a bit of time.

needs a bit more time an patience, but u get the idea

 

[amoani]

To be honest im sure i can get better pics with my camera but i have just gotta get round to setting it up properly.

Nice looking car.
I like those wheels, although the brakes look a little puny. How is the ride quality?
BTW, you could do with the proper badges.

looks very clean, well done mate

am liking the facelift badges on the car

The ride quality isnt too bad. it hasnt been lowered yet, so other than the low pro's ride is pretty much as standard. Although i must admit that the handling isnt as good as it was on standard rims, but hopefully a few suspension tweeks will sort this.

Defo prefer the facelift badges though.

just saw those wheels on ebay, going for about £800
would they just go straight onto my A3 seeing as they r 19". (got 18" at the moment)

Not sure mate, as i dont really know too much about A3 fitment maybe someone else can shed some light. They went straight onto mine no probs so would imagine they are the same.
