I would go with 18"s rather then 19"s... Altho I'm not sure how bad Ottawa is, in TO the potholes really do get to you...

kastro

thanks for the reply, the a8 spoke ones dont come in 18s, unless i get replicas, what u guys think of replicas? good the bad, etc, i never got any before, any problem with quality?.. and my main concern wasnt potwholes black_rs, it was would it look like a truck sitting high.. ..

well i've heard that your car will ride very rough on 19's

The reps are good. I got RS4 reps and the overall quality of hte wheels seems to be very good.

Hi guys, I can't seem to get the road grime, brake dust and tar off my wheels.
I've tried pressure blasting, washing, light scrubbing and car cleaner but so far nothing has worked.

I haven't yet tried some of the Crappy Tire wheel cleaners because I'm worried that they may be too harsh for the BBS paint job.

What should I do? are the tough cleaners and engine detailers you see at Canadian Tire okay to use on these?

Black_RS4

have you tried brushing it with a foam brush?

yuriperez

I was worried it may ruin the finish on the inside.
But as it looks, many people scrub the hell out the dirty inside and use cloths for the outside.

Maybe I baby my wheels too much.

I usually just use brakleen, I haven't had any finish related problems, but I'm not really worried about the inside of my wheel, I'd look into, it works like a charm, and there is very little work involved as it dissolves dust and grime on contact
