Guide to 15" Audi rims that fit over Subaru 4 pot brake

[Venom]

Found the suplier in sydney for ball seat 19 hex 12x1.25 but they dont have the the stock until a month later. Only concern is they just say ball seat but no diameter.

@venom: could you measure your wheel nut and post the specs? Thank you for doing that.

Can't do about to fly to Japan for two weeks.

Nice one. Was there much brake deposit inside the rim? Mine were caked with it. Bugger to clean, but I have some tips.

use Rim7 cleaner, and IronX. These are the only things that will work: believe me.

4 were spotless & 1 has a few scrapes, good for the spare. Also got Audi centre caps, hoping to sand off the Audi logo & add Subie badges

5 rims & 4 centre caps for $280 so pretty pleased :biggrin:

Shame you never said you were looking for a set of these. We just brought in 3 sets of wheel nuts from the US.

By the way Dulagarl and tuckerbag: they arrived today. I will be in touch next week to sort out the details.

mine were also absolutely filthy. especially the fronts.

I have gotten rid of some of it but some parts just wont let go. Any tips on where to get Rim7 or IronX?

This mob will send some to you.

Look forward to hearing about the nuts. Thanks.

I just left my wheels overnight for 4 nights, let them soaked the water and cleaned with fine steel wool. Turn out ok.

Does anyone want to get lugnuts for their Audi wheels?
Audi/Subaru Lug Nut - 12mmx1.25, R12 Ball Seat, Hex 19mm

They are approx $40 per set (x20) plus postage (~$80), we would divide postage so its cheaper for everyone :biggrin:

^ I'm up for that.
I just got my set of 4 Audi rims for $100... hell yeah Thanks to Dulagarl for the eBay link!

 

[vincentvega]

now that was a bargain!

Woohoo!

I'm trying to find a cheaper place to buy the lugnuts here in Oz...postage is a killer! I'll put you down for a set when I get mine :iconwink:

Thanks Nachaluva. ... $190 for freight plus $100 for the rims. Not too bad of a price I guess. ...

$190 for freight...ouch! Who was that through?

 

[taza]

TNT. But remember getting something from QLD to WA isn't gonna be cheap. Cost me $300 to get 5 tyres to WA from Sydney. My bullbar cost me $300 too from OLD.

 

[vincentvega]

ouch! not such a bargain

One of the joys of living in the west I guess

You get used to paying the rediculious prices for things here. In fact Perth is the 10th most expensive city in the world to live in as Todaytonight said the other week.

Everything in QLD, Vic and NSW seems extremely cheap to buy for us whether it be new or used.
I still believe that $300 is a steal for rims with such benefits without going aftermarket rims and easily paying over $1000.
