Wow Neil, I love the look of that...especially the rears...they really fill the arches quite nicely.



What's the ride like? ... hard as balls? lol!

Enjoy the meet guys...i've got a wedding to attend unfortunately

Love those rims. Khan RS-X Diamonds...lovely. What size are they? Looks like you have a slightly deeper dish on the rear

I've seen them on D3's before (insurance_jon had them on his S8, looked sweet) but this is the first time I've seen 'em on a D2 before, and they suit it better than I thought.

Thanks Oli yes they are looking pretty good considering it was a gamble to fit 21's lol would ultimately love to fettle with the suspension to get it just so.

The ride is harder than the 18 inch sports wheels but surprisingly not as hard as i thought although I can feel the road better through the wheel now. My Audi A4 with 19 inch wheels is much harsher ride but I guess the sports seats also help in the A8 as they are pretty comfortable

Have a great wedding, see you in Swindon soon no doubt!

Tony they are a staggered set up -
Front wheels: 9J-21-ET32 255/30/ZR21
Rear wheels : 10.5J-21-ET35 295/25/ZR21
Always liked them too - fatal in the end!! *Grin*

Jammy, jammy, jammy git!!!! Sooooo envious.

I've always thought that 21's would fill the arches just right. 22's too big, and 20's, depending on design, can still look small

Don't worry about A8 Owner nabbing them tomorrow though, I'll be in there first
