Wheels or Tyres: 5x 18" Audi Fat Five Alloys

[Lyons]

I have for sale a set of 5 genuine Audi Fat Five wheels made by Ronal. They are 18", 8.5" wide and ET45. From memory all have a little kerbing. Come with tyres too, but they are A8 sized so 255/45/18.

No photos at present, but I can get some at the weekend for any interested parties.

£400 ono

To give you an idea;

It genuinely breaks my heart a little selling these as I always wanted a set, but I don't think they'd look right on my Golf when I take the springs out so no point in keeping them!

Hmmmm.

 

[Bono872]

Get them on! I think you'd be surprised! I loved them on my b6 at stock height

 

[Lyons]

I'm not sure Brian! I can't find any photos of them on a Mk5 st standard height, and I don't want to go to the hassle of fitting the right tyres etc only for them to not suit it.

Thats as close as I can find... I think they would look grand. Why are the springs coming out of the Golf?

 

[Lyons]

And it would be lower than that too as the GTi is 15mm lower than standard I think.

Springs are coming out because the country roads I spend most of my time on are absolutely brutal and do not lend themselves to a lowered car.

wish id the doe, but timing belt on fri and engine fault to be investigated...possibly turbo or the actuator humph

 

[Lyons]

LOL, I'm having second thoughts! Brian has planted the seed now!

Man up! I'm 45 and drive a mini on coilovers! Can't be that bad surely?

You live in Belfast!!!

True, but I live in the street with the most speed bumps per linear metre in the world!

 

[pablo]

you're still 25 in your head though D!

My car takes speed ramps with ease!

Then keep the springs, fit the fat 5s and drive it

 

[Lyons]

Speed ramps aren't the issue!

 

[Deezer-D]

True, really need to grow up, buy something sensible and leave it alone

 

[Lyons]

Lol, ironically it was you and your suspension/age combo that made me decide to go ahead with lowering the GTi .

 

[Deezer-D]

Speed ramps aren't the issue!

Pity, reckon it'll look bang on with a slight drop and wheels.

 

[Lyons]

Me too. I love how it sits now, but just isn't practical for getting the best out of the car.

Always a compromise. Even expensive coils can be tiresome.

I hope you sell these before I can get to them!

[Lyons]
