Not the best picture, but still the sight I was greeted with when I opened my parents' garage this morning
Going to hoover the interior and give it a wash this weekend. Not much else I can do until I sell the Cupra - which I have rented out to my mate from work - but with a bit of money from next payday I will be acquiring 16" Avus alloys and sending the 17" Avus IIs off to Mr Sidrick in Aberdeen.
Got a feeling though that I'll be spending money on it matter what. I've already got an S2 badge keyring, an S2 badge for the bootlid - plus I need one for the grille - and am thinking of replacing the grille with the RS2 mesh (but with the S2 chrome surround), new stereo with usb connection.... plus I'm always on ebay to see if there is any Corrado/Mk3 Golf recaros up for sale in good nick
Don't know if it's because it has been slightly lowered but it just doesn't look right and not as I expected. Now thinking of getting some BBS alloys like sjw185 and TimE-J have on their S2s, but I now know that the ride and steering is much more to my liking with 16" wheels...
Haven't found any of that style in 16" 5x112 but don't know if 16" ones will look too small just like the Avuses...
Any suggestions on how to sort the ride and steering with 17" wheels?
jack i have had this dilemma for the last few weeks and have gone through 4 sets of wheels , have finally got some 18's and im gonna live with the ride , 17's dont quite look right on a lowered avant either purely because of the side wall size on a 225/45/17 , so basically you can run a 215/40/17 but this affects the rollig radius and gives practically the same ride effect as 225/40/18 . my advice go 18's
my avant has fashioned many many rims,I always come back to the 18" mk1 S8 though
I had a set of the BBS Rx's in 18" ,the ones you thinking about,ther are pictures of it somewhere on here that would give you an idea but god knows where
If you like pm me your email and I'll send you some
