I know of wheelbasedirect.co.uk but are there any others? Due to careful consideration and after arguments with the missus, the audi is undergoing a major revamp which will include 19"/20" wheels and im struggling to find any i like. Please post up any suggestions/websites/photoshops of some big wheels on the audi

After a couple of insurance quotes this morning, its a little out of reach mate. Lowest quote was 2800 quid fully comp with tracker and aftermarket cat 1 alarm/immobiliser. We are gonna wait for a little longer, have got plenty of time to get one.

Yep, its looking that way. It is gonna have a major revamp, might even take it off the road and get a little run about. Some major plans being organised as we speak. Im disappointed though, really wanted the GTR but we are only 23, plenty of time to get one

WHatever you do DONT use SWT tyres. You can have a 5 page e-mail with reasons not 2!
I went on R-tecs website, allthough you can order online they show their range and fitiments n stuff, decent pics too!
