New style S8 rim on D2 ?

Pretty sure the wheels on that black car are not 20"s.

I wondered that in which case they are replicas, mind you the arches on these cars are huge lol hmm.. . .

not necessarily replicas, those wheels, or similar I think, go right down to 17"s on the A1 and probably the A3 too.

19"s could have come off an A6

It always annoyed me how much higher the gap at the front arch was on the 8's versus the rear

Funny thing is, and I know this is personal taste, but I think yours looks slightly too low now at the back, as if there's a few bags of cement in the boot .
The front is spot on though.

That really low German car we're discussing I don't like.

lol well strangely I havent lowered the back at all, I didnt dare with 10.5 inch wheels and 295 tyres to fit in! What I havent done is lowered the front quite enough to give the same look, which was deliberate based upon the fact that I can still just about handle the speed bumps and cr*ppy roads that the UK throws at us! It was interesting that when Guy tried my car recently in North Wales he said he was amazed at how smooth it was and how little "discomfort" the suspension and wheels gave compared to what he was expecting!

(Mind you I've just remembered, I've probably got a bootful of stuff in there most of the time so it probably would sit a tad higher unloaded)
