Thanks simon92, These are an exact replica and I can't tell the difference as compared them to my mates who has an Audi TT with these oem wheels on.

I got them in 19x8.5 ET35 the rears fit perfect and don't need any spacers. I have got a slight stretch on the tyres too. Having the camber and alignment done Saturday. Does anyone know the max camber you can go on these?

I wouldn't go daft on camber unless you were going really low and needed in my opinion, im running -2.5 on rears looks spot imo on hope It helps

Sounds great. If the replicas are seemingly close enough to the OEM's then maybe you won't have to steal your mate's wheels when he isn't looking, haha. Do you mind me asking where you got them from?

I'm afraid I don't know much about camber, but i look forward to seeing the car with whatever you decide!

Can't make my mind up about these alloys. I like the shape/design, but I'm not sure on the colour.

These are 225/35/19 which gives a slight stretched look but fit perfect.

I know what you mean, and I felt exactly the same, I see everyone else's and thought they were better but you can never tell until they are on. The pictures don't do it justice. When you have to change the direction in your wing mirror to see your alloys then you know your onto a winner ;) go with your heart!

Hi Barbs, I have always liked those wheels and if you are not sure you could always change the colour or do a mad wrap?

It's often said like previously in your thread that 20s with 30 profile tyres might be too hard but to be honest I didn't notice much difference when I changed from 19s with 35 profile tyres.
