Got a new set of wheels for the Summer. I had seen these on a white Porsche GT3 in Florida, and liked it so much, decided to place an order.
Size: 19x9
Offset: et29
Rubber: Michelin PS2
Price: $5K USD (plus some change)
Supplier: Eric @ SupremePowerParts ("http://www.supremepowerparts.com/)
Clearance over big brakes is huge. Could probably fit a coke can between spokes and caliper.
I do have the "special" Michelin PS2 in the front, which seem a bit rounder on the edges, and there is no rubbing.
On the rear, I have regular Michelin PS2, and also no rubbing. Tried these in the front, and heard slight rubbing when doing extreme left/right hand turning.
Cleaning anything with more than 6 spokes as I had before is a bit more laborious. However, I am extremely happy with the Mov'it setup, as they don't supply as much brake dust as the stock setup did. What you see in the pix, is pretty much how clean she is most of the time.

First set I've seen that I like as much as the factory ones. Not enough to fork over the ca$h to switch, but nice choice nonetheless.

Nene, factory 19's are ET35 (19x9), how does yours sit under the wells or sticking out? Will it rub the fender if you "bottom out"?

Yeah, it seems we have "moderators" that were active at one time but now MIA.
There is so much information here that its hard to just search another location. So much potential here but hey we still have fun.

There are several members that have had their RS6's taken back by the f@#$ing banks, so trampling on someone's "grave" is quite cool, but that isn't the point of this thread.
Either way, Nene needs to deskribe those seats...

Oh the banks indeed. If the folks only understood how they have been duped.
RIP property rights in this country. haha

You're right, it isn't cool. I was born with an a-hole gene.
Bad things happen to good people every day.
Apologies.

Ditto me too for all the other bone head quotes that tend to steam some folks. Greg was a stand up guy and did not damage his car before return. Speedtrapped has taken the torch and the beast lives on. While it was fun jabbing Greg with his very liberal view and he used to hate any political or economic rant I would have. Sad to see him go.
Jim was another stand up guy and returned his RS6 in perfect working order. After I took many of the goodies off the car. ooops. ;-) And for those that wish I would stop posting funny pictures and youtube vids? Never going to happen.

Please continue! I, for two, enjoy them (especially the dead horse with Monty Python)
Back on Topic: I have a big chimpo for the Sportec Mono 10's in 19" - Matte Black with PS2's. If this EVER happens, the OEM's are getting some Blizzacks installed for a winter drifting paradise with Menards in the trunk for extra measure...
