:lol: was seriously thinking about it, but these will predominately but used for track days etc, so will stay bronze for now :)
only problem now is the racing Harts look a little sunken in the guards compared to these. What too do about that... :twisted:

If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

They look the business! Would you care to share where you sourced them from and for how much?

Enkei RPF1's definitely fall into the category of "If you have to ask "How much", you can't afford 'em" :P

Thanks for the kind words guys, I'm very happy they're finally on the car. They've been sitting in the garage for months.

They look great!

I'm jealous and might have to buy a set soon.

Bit the bullet and went with the budget friendly SSW 15x7.5 +30 wheels ($600). Forum member 'Ross' weighed them in at 5.7kg (12.54lb), heavier than the advertised 4.6kg.
They seem to fit 195/50 AD08r very nicely. Previous setup was 195/50 RS3s on 15x8 buddyclubs. Will be interesting to see how they compare

edit: It also looks like ad08rs have rim protectors whereas RS3s didn't from memory
