56Doc Posted March 25 Posted March 25 (edited) Hi folks, Ive still got a set of 4 OEM 17” Double spoke Alloys from my previous 2004 Allroad sat in my garage taking up space. they’re in almost perfect condition with only 1 wheel picking up a stone chip. (I’d had them refurbished a few months before I sold the car - timing chan started rattling, on the V8, that’s a £6k engine out job!) Can’t recall the offset but I think it’s different to the standard C5. FREE to collector- BS22 9QJ may be able to transport to various mid to southern England places or close as I get around a bit paddling. Edited March 25 by 56Doc 1
Steve Q Posted March 25 Posted March 25 Did you have to run spacers etc to fit them? Just wondering if they'd bolt straight up to my c5 2wd. Have you got any pics? And what condition are the tyres?
56Doc Posted March 25 Author Posted March 25 Hi Steve, No tyres, just the wheels, as to spacers, not sure at all. They might just go straight on. Someone else on here may know more, there’s also a few wheel upgrade sites that can calculate the clearance for a given set of wheels on specific cars. i had some photos, but can’t find them, possibly deleted. I’ll have another look as they’re currently covered by a load of cardboard at the bottom of pile of various car related bits that’s accumulated over the years, a bit awkward to get at, if I can get at them, I’ll get photos and details of size & offset.

56Doc Posted March 25 Author Posted March 25 Steve, found this Ad on eBay, it has the size & offset details. (7.5J x 17 - ET 25) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/225783472013?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=8xMc12cKTTW&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=QsBH-A3FQcm&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
56Doc Posted March 25 Author Posted March 25 If you add your car to eBay, it’ll tell you if they’ll fit straight on but I don’t think they will.
56Doc Posted March 25 Author Posted March 25 Not sure what the offset is for standard wheels for either the 2wd model or the All-road, mine came with 18” but the ride was rough, so I bought these, I believe they were an option on purchase.
56Doc Posted March 25 Author Posted March 25 (edited) Searching for wheels for your model year A6 c5, it looks like they would have an offset of 43 (ET43). But that still doesn’t tell us if the twin spokes would fit! Edited March 25 by 56Doc
56Doc Posted August 4 Author Posted August 4 Hi Steve, sorry, I haven’t had time to look at the wheels, (they are buried in boxes in the garage). My mum is very poorly so I’ve been away a lot helping to look after her, trying to get her out of hospital and in to a nursing home for her last few months.😔 1
Steve Q Posted August 9 Posted August 9 Bless ya thank you. Sorry to hear about your mum, thinking of you. I know what it's like as had to go through a similar process with my gran.
