Loved it on these, but can't wait for the Bentleys, will test fit on my time off, and get them resprayed.

The Bentleys were just an OEM Bentley colour to start. Not sure which one but was way to light for my car.
Yeah hoping to head over, you?

Bought four of these for the Bentleys from the States, Grey and Red should be a sick combo!

Update
First of all since last update, had tyres fitted to the Bentleys, and then dropped them to refurbers.
Then after a 3 week wait, my lamin-x arrived.
Still yet to fit this, but will do soon.
In order for the lamin-x to work better with the rest of the car, I ordered some tinted side indicators, comparison shot.
Then these arrived from the states, cost me a bastard extra £20.02 on what I had already paid for these on import tax.
Then my glass bung from Germany arrived, so after a ballache of a job, was supposed to be easy but clearly wasn't, thought it was ceased on but after a trip to halfrauds, bought a ball joint seperator which got it off in seconds, then took it back and said it didnt work and got my monies back.
Notice debadged too for extra smoothness
Changed my rear brakes at my mates house earlier today, but was close to the floor before jacked up.
They didn't need changing as in wear as mileage isn't that high, but they were so old rust deposits were being left on my wheels, and with the Bentleys going on didn't want to risk the chrome bits.
And lastly, started to strip the blanking plate, and will do the front Audi badges in the same grey when I get round to it.

Sorry for the late reply, haven't really bothered with tinterwebs recently.
So as you can gather the Bentleys were indeed refurbed.
Their currently off as I started losing pressure in the one front, only around 6psi a day but that meant I had to repump them every few days and started to boil my piss, so took it to the usual tyre place, and they took it off and resealed it with tar gluey stuff, filled it to 45psi and all good so far.
Comments welcome.

Somethings making me think, if you could get the back down a bit more, would need some bad boy camber, it would look so much more put together! It looks awesome, but i've always thought it just needs a bit of dialing in.

Cheers for the comment mate, I'll have to take a photo of it showing arch gap, you can't get a finger inbetween the arch and tyre. All adjusters are out too, if I was to go lower would need a notch and new set of coilovers and a new job as I scrape getting over speedbumps now

Ive never been a fan of Bentley wheels on a Audi. But that looks subtle. I like it.
How does it drive being that low and stretch?

The wheels look perfect but I agree with Miller, the back really needs to come down. It almost looks to be at standard height on the back...

Cheers for that. Well next post down says its almost standard height lol
Honestly scrapes like fuck, I know I take shit photos but the arch is only a few mil from sitting on the tyre so if we go shopping or take the little one out we neeed to use my fiances feista as it scrapes with the pram in.

Cheers, but if you loom at the photo whirly quoted at the top of the page, well the bentleys sit lower than that again. Idont do the car justice with my S3s camera. Im sure Simon can say its not standard height at all.
The second pic was for a friend also with bentleys wanting to see how they sit with 8mm spacer on the back hense the almost skyward looking into the arch shot.
