Brand New Bolero's x 4 - Page 3

I don't use the S2 Forum!

Your having a laugh about the tyres I have bought 225/45R17 Pilotsport 4s. They are supergood and would save me a fortune in engine tunning, as I would be able to carry way more speed through the twisty bits! It all about good rubber and that's the best on the market right now! At least I can send them back!

Boleros weigh a ton realised that when I got both my sets refurbed but they do look nice and audi specified them at 7J ET45 for the A4 TQS with 225/45 x 17 as standard fitment.

The 2nd set I have is destined for my S2 as winter wheels when I finally get it back on the road, I just like the style of boleros as I think they look great on the B3 coupe body, you can always use spacers to fill out the arches.

They sure do,.......... but like you, i think they look superb on the cabriolets and B4 coupes.

Well may be a 5 stud conversion thread going on at this rate.

No,i'm not laughing, 7j wheels like the ones your bought are tiny nowadays for a 17" rim! Too much tyre bulge going on affecting handling. But..... i'm always fair though and agree the best rubber out there is priceless in the twisty bits!! You do have a major advantage on us lot though,your staff discount! Still i'm very happy with my Asymmetric 2's I've just bought for my freshly refurbed S8 8J Alloys i picked up Friday. Which buy the way, weigh less than 17" Boleros which are a soft as cheese!

That's right. While the ideal rim size for that size is 7.5" they will sit quite nicely on a 7" I'm not to worried about the weight! Compared to that V6 lump! It will be barely noticeable.
