Phaeton 19x9 rims
I'm thinking of a change. What do people think of the Phaeton 19x9 ET40 on a D3?

I like them a lot, plenty of spokes for strength but a smooth design so relatively easy to clean, I reckon they'd look great on a D3

My thoughts as well Ron. Apparently they were for the V10tdi and W12 so I'll take a guess that their weight loading will be fine for the D3. Also they should fill the wheel arch nicely being ET40.

they look awesome, my main worry would be kerbing, because due to the design there is a large part of the main spoke sitting flush of the surface of the wheel - could end up being multiply-scuffed very easily methinks

Yes, the design does look prone to be easily kerbed. Found a few Phaetons on ebay with scratched alloys.
Good 2nd hand value though http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/371547378881
