Audi Calitos

http://i518.photobucket.com/albums/u342/RATBOYMK3/calito.jpg

18"-5x112-ET48-8" wide

He's selling 4, brand new and boxed for £600. £1680 brand new from Audi. Get in there quick if you fancy them. They'd look great on a lowered Octy. :thumbup:

I'd probably buy those if I hadn't just bought some wheels. Still slightly tempted now. :giggle:

LOL, what a joker (with the postage). Not the same guy as the e38 ad I posted.

Interesting there are suddenly loads of brand new sets of these flooding the market. The same thing happened last year with 19" hollow-spoke BBS Audi A4 accessory wheels below

I think they were going for £800 a set.

Apparently, Audi forces so many sets of these accessory wheels on dealerships. Obviously, the dealerships aren't managing to up-sell that many customers to nicer wheels and are dumping them through various channels.

Some good bargains to be had though.

Calitos were fetching at least £650 2nd hand in good condition before these cropped up.

[Brimma]

The same seller I posted above has those 19"ers on offer as well at £900 or best offer, and looking at his feedback some A4's went for £700, and A5's for £750

And also looking at his feedback, some buyer has been buying up quite a few sets, so obviously thought there was some money to be made (unless he's got lots of VAG cars :( )

Would these be a direct fit for the New Superb?

[Nick P]

Yes, but I think you want slightly lower offsets for a Superb II. Can't remember what the OEM Superb wheel offsets are (~41?), but I'm guessing you'd want something like 10 - 15mm spacers to look good?

Wega3k, why did you have to post this.....................been think about these wheels all day!!! :giggle: maybe its time to get out more :(

[Nick P]

Just buy the damn things, then you can stop thinking about them. It's the only way with wheels. :rofl: Bet you'd get them for the edition38 guy or the ebay guy for a £500 best offer, but don't go paying £150 for delivery. Tell him Paisley freight will pick them up for you - only £30.

Who wants an audi logo on his alloys in the first place?

[Nick P]

That's what I used to think. Then I resigned myself to the fact that there were Audi logos on practically every other component of my car so why not the wheels too. :giggle:

Photos at last as seen in the Superb section.

Just to say thanks to Cathal for doing the deal.

Got the wheels fitted today. I need to get it lowered in the next week or two as i think it is sitting too high.

Once lowered, i'll get some better pics

They are 18"x8" - 2 Piece Audi Calito wrapped in BFGoodrich G-Force
Profiler 225-40-18

Hoping to get some photos next week also with these on my vRs Combi...

[Nick P]

They look great on the Superb. Is the suspension that high because it's just been jacked to fit the wheels? Would look perfect lowered. :thumbup:

[vRS 170TDi Cork]

thanks for the comment, they are a nice wheel alright. do people think i should leave the audi badge or try and get the BBS ones. I don't think i can fit skoda ones to it.

i think the car was settled in the pictures there as i drove 20 miles and i was bouncing the car up and down in the back trying to get it back to the orginal position.

Weird as i know the the greenline is already dropped 15mm.

I told herself we need to get the suspension lowered 20mm and she nearly had a stroke, she had a look at the car and say thats fine looking.

i think i'll sneak it away from her next weekend and get it sorted.
