What kind of 19's do you have Tony? Mine has 20's and I'm not so sure i prefer them over 19s, but they do have virtually new tyres on, so was gonna wait until the need replaced, but you never know

I've got the chunky RS6 style 5 spokes mate...what 20's have you got?

PsYcHe · #43 26th March 2012, 02:51 PM

The 5-spoke ones too, the flat ones (is it Canton or something).. so will stick with them at the minute

I like those wheels, the Cantona's

mmmm. What 19's are you looking for? RS4 style?

Not sure TBH Tony... Not the 12-spoke like my old one... Will probably leave it just now

No worries, I'm up in East Kilbride possibly on the 4th, fancy a brew?

Should be free mate... Where you staying?

Not sure yet, may not be coming up, depends on a client cancellation

Drop me a PM with an appropriate offer, and we can talk

They come with Bridgestones on too, that have a good 4mm+ on them

Hi Tony
My apologies I have only just seen your post, I have been away working and only have access on the phone so possibly missed it.

Things have moved on and I have replaced all four tyres and they were getting near the limit and I had a constant slow puncture which was driving me mad. This turned out to be a cracked alloy! with two hairline cracks on the edge of the rim where the bead sits

! I have just had this one tig welded/repaired to a good standard by someone who knows what he's doing and will keep as the spare for now.

I only really need one decent five spoke with the correct ET of 44 and I'm sorted tbh. So I have been searching for one everywhere I can without luck. The majority seem to have bee produced for the RS6 that are floating around for sale.
Condition isn't the concern, providing it's not cracked or buckled, as I can get it refurbed easy enough. I currently have a slight buckle in the rear o/s which doesn't seem to vibrate through the car but I would like to know I have four decent rims on the car.
Next time a buy a car I might take my trolley jack and try the wheels as this has plagued me since buying the car last year!

All the best Glyn
