Hi Guy,

Well I've spoken to a really nice guy called Mark from AirDrop link Suspension company and talked me through the difference and the evolution sets that we are now seeing hitting the marketplace, after some more chatting and a bit of negotiation, I've had delivery this morning of the evolution drop link suspension ready to be shipped off to the body shop to fit.

Regarding the alloys, the short answer to whether I have a set of alloys and tyres in my garage is "No!" I've see loads that I like, but the set I like the most are a set of excellent conditioned used Bentley wheels but staggered, and I don't want the staggered look.

I currently have the OEM 19's what size do I need to go for to get the 100% exact rolling circumference on the 21's? Ideally I want something that comes as close to the edge of the arch (without using spacer) and obviously clear the calliper. But although there are plenty of 20's out there it's definitely the loom of the 21's I'm after... I've seen them on the latest 2015 Audi's at the main dealers, they look awesome.

The MTM's look amazing and a style I like. What are the sizes of these? Anyone know?

Regards,

Mark.

Used magnesium set

MTM produce this wheel in various widths, diameter, finish, alloy material. Personally I'd go for 9.5 x 19"

10.5" Wow, why so wide? Seems massive, I've seen plenty of 21" x 10's but that is as big as I've seen. Yeah I have 19's now, a definitely want the look of the 21" that large alloy with little tyre look, a compromise between looks and comfort I know, but it's what floats my boat the most +++

The 19's I've got now I'm pretty sure are 9 x 19" and the tyres from memory are the 255/45/19's giving a rolling circumference of 2,237.1mm so providing I can find the correct size for the fronts and rears to match this then I should be fine. Some people have suggested the 295 width and reducing the profile to just 25 but I want more air and distance between alloy and ground. Any suggestions as I would like to get these bought this next coming week and get them shipped to the body shop so that it leaves looking as it will continue to look. :cool:

Regards,

Mark.
