Default mailman brought me some goodies yesterday

new summer rims for the RS2. Old snowrims don't fit over the Big Reds brakes I fitted, and I need to use my old summer rims for winter now. Old summerrims were ''16, old summerrims ''17 and new ones ''18

Porsche Turbo Cup ET52 - 5*130 - 8,5*18, and 245/40/18 Goodyear Eagle F1 DSG3's are one the way also




in the Atumn they will be powdercoated in Gunmetal.

when PORSCHE built the RS2 for Audi, they used their own suspention and boss' and stuff so that the Porsche brakes would fit, that also meant that the only wheels that will fit are Porsche wheels and Bilstein suspension

hehe, got me there.....It waqs a combination of 3:
1. Q7 wheels were $10.000 with snowtires, cayenne one's were around 3k
2. Difficult to find large enough rims and tires
3. Porsche/Audi/VAG...soon it's all the same. Even Ferdinand Piëch, CEO of VAG is the gandson of Ferdiand Porsche and it actually doesn't look that all out of place......this is my theory

Congrats Skaala for those nice 18'' turbo cup wheels, they are one of the classic wheels setup on the RS2 and look fantastic. :good:

I think PzGren had those wheels too on his previous B5 S4 Avant.

^This is the only ONE official RS2 Sedan at the Ingolstadt Museum. (as far as my research turned out)


2.891 cars were built, 180 were right hand drive.
