Gold wheels are the new anthracite - ignore the haters, they're just jealous

Indeed, Id of thought people would of realised that im gonna do what i want by now.

Heater matrix system - weighs a tonne! My 6 has to be lighter than a rallye right now :p

Sadly I like to be able to e mist my windows and feel my fingers. The Rallye is about 1185kg so if ive taken 25kg off 1200kg then im less than a rallye already.

Hahah I could make a joke here about how you're trying to save weight so its quicker than any equivalent high spec derv ..... but I wont

Joke away mate. Im enjoying the porn noise far too much to care but defo missing boost.

IIRC You need brackets made up to 'space the calipers out further radially from the centre of the hub to permit larger diameter brake discs than 283 on our hubs...

No cos the xantia 288mm discs fit under.

The reason i think you might be able to get larger is everyone on the 6 forum says you cant use the 406 discs (305mm) as theyer the wrong offset, (the disc face is almost level with the hub face) not cos theyer too large. The calipers look too far out on the 288 mm xantia discs and im pondering if i can use the 307 HDi 136 (302mm) discs as theyer the same offset as the xantias. Also being a larger diameter theyll have a different resonant frequency so may well not squeel.

I suspect at the time people first started fitting brembos to 306s the 307 discs werent common whereas the xantia ones were so thats why they were used.

Ive put a thread on the 6 forum about it but nobodys answered. I really dont want to have to spend £70 on a set of discs that turn out not to be right.



Anyway a pic from the sunlight to show just how white she is
