Default Insane CH's.....

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/88382/m3_ch.jpg"></center><p>Has anyone ever seen this setup or know where to get it? I've seen plenty of BBS CH's... but never quite like this. The rear wheel bowls inward giving the car an insanely agressive and unique look IMHO. Gotta have them

Default You have wider wheels on a BMW with the rear drive

I think that is all you are seeing

Default Insanity may just describe the set-up

Having owned 3-series BMW's before migrating to Audis, the staggered look may seem aggressive - but for the most part it increases the understeer too much. It's not fatal on a BMW, becasue of the rear-drive and very neutral handling. A staggered set-up on an Audi would be a spooky thing. They already understeer and would wallow when pushed if outfitted with such a set-up. The overall wheel design should be a natural mimick, however, given the Audi off-set.

Best,
Eric

Default fyi: i know people with that bbs ch setup, doesn't work ...

if you lower the car, unless you roll the rear fenders, because the rear offset is too low for a 10" rim (ET20). the lowest rear offset on a 10" that works on the m3 without rolling the fenders is ET24.

Default Re: Insanity may just describe the set-up

I was thinking more along the lines of "faking" the staggered look. I'm in agreement regarding staggering being a no-no on quattro.
