Hey guys,
I just put my new rims on today, Audi A8's. They're 19x8.5 and ET35.
Just wanted to see what people think.

I have to agree mate,rs4's suited it better..a8's have been on thousands of mk4's and a3/a4's.... not really suited to mk5 imho.

hehe, I was expecting mixed opinions. When you see them in person, or when the car is driving, you won't say that they dont look good (IMO anyways :P)
Thanks for the comments guys

They suit the white car, plus they will really look special once the car is moving :)

looks great... as a fellow owner of a mk5 dumped on h&r coilovers, i know you must be scrubbing insanely much :D
reminds me of this car:

I like it I think everyone with RS4 reps needs to take a look and realise the same thing that the rs4 wheels are overdone!
Nice work mate love the lowness to :)

I thought RS4s were the ONLY aftermarket wheel that fitted Mk5s :biggrin:
You mean there's OTHERS?
They look great, Aleksii. And good luck with the scrubbing - it looks fantastic, but must be a bitch to live with!

They are the wheels I want for my car!!
I reckon they looks heaps better than the RS4's!! As much as i love the RS4's, it's the same as putting BBS RS on a mk1, so damn common it's now boring (dom's is an exception, no sick of that yet :cool:). I reckon it really suits your car especially being lowered and with the black bonnet.
Since when have you had the red pinstripes on the bonnet??
time to get one of these stickers, you can find them a lot cheaper on e-bay (about $7 to your door) - http://www.empiregfx.com/shop/product.php?productid=16381&cat=253&page=2

Thanks for all the comments guys :D
I've had the pinstripes on the bonnet since I got the bonnet and bumpers etc. colourcoded.
Here are a few more pics I took yesterday

Love it..looks fantastic slammed down in the weeds. I'm biased though as have the same wheels on mine but in 18's. They look great on Candy white MK5's.
Love the bonnet work as well.

Just noticed you have the AUDI center caps. Did you know you can get ones with VW on them?

looking clean as hell! and just as a side note, please after attaching your images, insert them into your post so we dont have to click the links ;)

Thanks again guys :D
I have been trying to source the VW centre caps, but with little luck. Someone on ebay in the UK has them, but refuses to respond to my questions regarding postage to Aus.

www.tempetyres.com.au in Sydney has them. They come as a blank chromed plastic center cap and they put a vw decal on them when they fit the wheels. Not sure how much they woud be as mine came with them but can't see it being too expensive.

I reckon they do work on white and silver MkV's, yours looks sweet mate. :biggrin:
My only major problem is how damn heavy they are, doesnt worry me though as I dont need to race people. :) I was too scared to go 19's as i drive on some terrible roads and have hit some bumps that probably would have destroyed 19's no problems.
