Just got these goodies installed. RS4 grill on the way.

BBS CH-R 19x9.5 ET45 255/35/
H&R Super Sport Springs 1.5F 2.0R

Big thanks to Alex@TAG for these wheels, fast shipping and great customer service.
Thanks to AWE Tuning as well for the springs. Great price and fast shipping as well!

Sorry for the crappy Galaxy S3 pics
pictures don't do justice

Springs should settle in and the car should be lower after 1000 miles or so.

That looks fantastic! I love the contrast of the black white, and also the machined lip on the wheels - it really sets everything off perfectly. Perfect stance, also. Definitely one of my favorite cars posted so far.

Also, that's a beautiful BMW next to the S4 and cute baby, too!

Love it!! CH-R's are the best bang for the buck imo. I cannot wait to play with the rim guard finish or maybe even pull them for a bit.

Thanks guys for the compliments. I'm really loving the look now. Planning on getting a diffuser soon in black to compliment the wheels and tint.

Rubbing is minimal so far.

Rubbing where? Front or back?

Rubbing where? Front or back?

Wasn't able to make out where it came from, I rubbed once while taking a sharp turn at a pretty high speed, the turn had a little bump that could have been why.

Rubbed another time going over train tracks. Im pretty sure its the rears though since people run 1.5 in drop on the front from other springs and dont rub at all, even with these wheels and specs.

Ya I have super sports, 19x9.5, 255 tires, and 5mm all around. So now im at et 40. I went on a mountain drive last weekend i was worried about rubbing but nothing. Id recommend the 5mm all around it really changed the look for me.

That's great man, sounds awesome. Which spacers did you go with if you dont mind me asking. Thanks.

^If JOS did not rub last weekend on our drive, rub is not possible. Very twisty roads with many dips and his trunk was loaded down. I rubbed like crazy. More than usual. Oh, if you run spacers, make sure you run the BBS spacers. Hubcentric and you ditch the hub rings.
