Opinions on alloys

PenfoldXT · 14th May 2014, 19:30

I intend to get a set of 3DSM 0.01 alloys on my car, but I wanted to know what people's opinions are on these.

These are the alloys on a an AUdi A4

http://www.alloywheelsni.com/user/cu...=306&crop=auto

I really like them as they are concaved a lot on the rears as well as being staggered, et 8.5 fronts and et 9.5 rears I believe.

At the moment I have the straights on my car in satin black ( how I bought the car, don't like black alloys

), but I intend to get the 3DSM's sprayed in a shadow silver of some sort so they're not blindingly bright, have a slight shadow on them. My car's XPower Grey by the way.

I'm not sure on how they look on the ZT, but I'm looking forward to a photo of yours wearing them.

They look extremely similar to hairpins

We'll in my opinion you may as we'll save a whole heap of cash and just buy some hairpins as they are so similar. Just fitted hairpins to my 75.

Me too! There are a lot of oem wheels which look the part

Granted they look similar to hairpins, but I want the concaved look which the hairpins don't have.

ET refers to the offset of the wheel, not it's width!

What offset are they, what size tyre are you intending on using with them and are you sure that they will fit?
