Wheels for the S1

[gingers3]

i think id have gone for et30 all round but they are looking great , what finish colour are you going for ?
might have to put my wheels plan on hold till i ve seen these , are you at gti international ?

 

[DTYME83]

Bronze finish
I will be at GTI international provided Audi return my car lol. I really wanted a concave finish but because Audi's have a positive offset it makes it difficult.

i think they will look the dogs , are you on audi sport stand at inters ? im only there on the sunday

 

[DTYME83]

Wheels arrived Friday, if Audi ever give me back my car I will be able to get them fitted

Still in for the paintwork Daniel?

 

[DTYME83]

Yeah it's an absolute joke to be perfectly honest with you

 

[DTYME83]

The front and rear together

 

[gingers3]

why are the front and rear so different ? only small ofset difference so why ?

 

[DTYME83]

I thought the same thing, but due to a front brake upgrade the offset had to be different in order to clear the callipers

 

[gingers3]

not sure i could live with that ! look like different rims
need to see them on the car

 

[DTYME83]

With a bit of luck they will be in the car tomorrow. I also agree they need to be fitted to the car. The problem is Audi's have such high offsets

 

[DTYME83]

That's the same wheel in an A5

Looks good

I miss having tint on my front and passenger windows and even the windshield.

 

[gingers3]

not my cup of tea, sorry

Just in my opinion, I think that look de-values the Audi to just look like the sort of customised Citroen Saxo or Peugeot 106 that you see hanging round in cinema car parks on a Friday night...

It's like a DIY mod-job on an A1, not like a nice S1.

Dear me guys, rip into the fella!
DTYME83 - If you like it thats all that matters.
Very stealth.

Ski man we are all entitled to our own opinions. I personally think they look sick and even better in the flesh.

[gingers3]

agreed , we all have differing tastes , it makes us what we are

Hmm, not sure about that. The wheels are nice, the car is nice but not sure they match. Maybe it's the staggered fitment. Maybe the rears all round might do it. Still, life would be boring if we all liked the same things.

The wheels are all the same size but due to my front brake upgrade its not possible to have the same off set all round I have ET+25 rear and ET+30 at the front but it means the wheels on the front are not as concave. Most cars end up looking like that at the front. @Huwbert

I was going to say that mine with the abt wheels is non standard too. It's nice to be a bit different, I really did not like the 18" wheels the S1 comes with as an option.

i did nt like the oem 18 s either but i ve looked at loads of pics with after market wheels and the only others i like ( that fit ) are the mtm bimoto s
