New 19 inch wheels for the ZT-T

Rick-sta · 26th February 2019, 15:05

Picked up some new wheels for the ZT-T today to replace the 11 spokes. These are a set of 19inch Audi RS6 Reps. Need a bit of a refurb which I'll do at some point. Think they suit it quite well, will look even better once the side skirts and rear bumper pods are on I recon. Now to find some centre caps that fit these, shame the original ones are missing.

Very tasty. Suits the car very well.

I'm liking them
Seem to fill the arches better with the bigger spokes.
I take it the ride and handling haven't changed?

The total size of these wheels is actually pretty much the same as the factory wheels, as these have 245/35/19's fitted to them at the moment. My Tourer seems to be a bit lower than most for some reason (no idea why as it's on standard springs), which makes the arches look more filled. The front arch gap is pretty much standard, the gear arch gap makes the car look lowered.

Took it for a run and the ride is a tiny bit harsher as would be expected due to the drop from 45 to 35 profile tyres. These tyres have quite a lot of tread on them at the moment so will be leaving them as they are, but once it's time to change them I think I will go for 235/40/19 tyres, as I know of others who run 19 inch wheels with this size tyres fitted with good results, stops the ride being too harsh, fills the arches a bit better and has a very minimal affect on the speedometer as well.

Very nice Rick, I like those

Sort of remind me of the 120 alloys

Look very nice indeed, do Audi wheels go straight on then? no problems with spigot bore size etc? I've toyed with the idea of fitting TT wheels to my 75 cdt but maybe painting them in anthracite.

Shows we all have differing tastes

I think they don't suit the car all all .

Look fine on an MG!

They look like oversized Mirage wheels, sorry but it's another no from me I'm afraid.
