eBay (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/?cmd=ViewItem&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649&item=270813279216&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT#ht_4726wt_1167)
if there's one thing I'd like to do with my car, well, ok, on top of a whole lot of other things, is to Euro-spec my car - battery in the proper location, RECAROS...and the 19" wheels that nearly all Euro-spec cars came with. Come to think of it, I really want to move my freaking battery - I fold down my seats and use the cargo loading capacity of long items quite a bit, and that damned breadbox sits in the way like a massive wart....
Anyways, these wheels...for $500 a set, these are cheap enough to be throwaway wheels, so quality may not really be an issue. Bend one? For $125 just get a new one! Thoughts?

Not bad, and if you don't mind bends, go for it.

Funny I've always liked those Rims. But they just never came wide enough for me. I wouldn't want anything less than a 9.5" preferably 10.0" wide wheel. 8.0" is way to narrow for me...........

I thought so too, but aren't the stock rims also 8"? 8" is certainly wide enough to support a 255 tire.

As said above, the correct size for those replicas should be 19x9 ET35 for the RS 6.
If you do run 19x9 ET35 in the replica, or the real deal (4B3601025Q1H7 or 8AU), be aware you will need to choose tires carefully as most tires will rub the front uprights.

The callipers are the one thing I haven't got to cleaning and waxing yet, I'm putting the 390MM V10 RS6 brakes on anyway and that photo was taken the day after I got the car.

Carbon or metal?

Metal ones, so if anyone wants my old brakes... Only 36k miles old, discs and pads are OEM and only have 7k miles on them. PM me. Not sure how much shipping would be though from the UK. Might be a deal breaker.

I'd like to go with 19's on the RS6. To avoid fender rubbing up front, wouldn't it be wise to go with an 8.5 inch on the fronts and 9.5 inch width on the rears?
