Lovely.

Just recently been looking at getting some of these if i can get them for the right price! Mind me asking how much you paid for them and just how bad condition they were in???

Also, are they heavy and how much is your car lowered?

Thanks.

I live in Australia, so not much help for a price comparison.

The rough costs were:
100 pounds for the wheels
40 pounds to freight them
20 pounds in cleaning, filling and sanding products.
100 pounds to spray (I did the prep and sanded back the undercoat).

These rims are heavy. apparently around 25 pounds each.

I'm on AP Coilovers, the car is running without the perch at the rear and could go lower at the front but scrapes occasionally on the Seat lip.

They work very well with my suspension, but could feel heavy with a softer setup. I would love to have a set of the Phat 5's / Audi Comps, but I've not seen a set with our PCD in the country.

These look fantastic dude - really suit the car. Top job!

Really like the red and black detail on the centre caps also.
