    So ET30 means they will sit 5mm further out on the car? Is that right as the ET thing always confuses me

      Original centre caps fit fine on my 17" Avus wheels. See picture below: (Clockwise from top left, Wheel with non-original centre cap, Wheel with original centre cap, Back of centre caps (original on right), Front of centre caps.)

          Copies. I imagine if they were originals the Audi logos on the centre caps wouldn't keep falling off - they're just stuck on. Superglue seems to be the answer!

                Yeah I'm interested - what sort of discount are they offering? They said about £700 with 225/45/17 Toyo Proxies when I asked. Any idea on tyre prices when you were there?

                  £700 delivered is about right.... when I was in on Tuesday I didn't persue the volume discount it because no one else had suggested an interest. They being sourced from mainland Europe... so there must be a saving on carriage. I ordered a set yesterday, on a 2 week lead time, I need to get my brakes done asap.

                    oh well, I'll order mine some time in the not too distant future. What tyres did you go for?
