What wheels would look good?

Andrew@A.L.D · Dec 7, 2015

I was looking at some 18 inch RS4 wheels in grey/dark grey/gunmetal

Thoughts and suggestions?

BigCat · Dec 7, 2015

If its the new RS4 wheel top job, thinking about it myself. Think you should go 19s though IMO...

They do look smart though!

BBS LM in 19's are what I want for my summer wheel.

Gazwould · Dec 8, 2015

Love Audi oem's.

Twin 7 spoke some darker ones too ,

Triple 5 spoke , and a 5 spoke found on SE B8's etc .

JamieOS · Dec 9, 2015

Avus 18s would be my personal choice. I've been after a set for a while now. Still holding out for a set of 5.

Andrew@A.L.D · Dec 9, 2015

I was looking at a set of wheels you can see on my S3 but can never find a good set for the money.

Andrew@A.L.D · Dec 10, 2015

What do you think of these?

Andrew@A.L.D · Dec 10, 2015

They come with 245 40 tyres and a offset of ET28

Gazwould · Dec 10, 2015

Audi A5 V10 spokes. Not sure how they would sit on the car with the offset and 245 tyre.

Im guessing they are 18s as from his other pictures i cant see much stretch on the tyres, i say this as i have these wheels in 19s and my tyres are streched to stop rubbing on the arches!!

1wheelonly · Dec 10, 2015

I went for RS6 on my TT,
think They'd Deffo suit a A4

JamieOS · Dec 11, 2015

+1 for BBS. I love some of their models with a deeper offset. Its like the B7 RS4 alloys. I'm not a huge fan of them on a regular A4 B6/B7, but I really like the deep dish look on the RS4.

They are 18 x 8.5J, ET35 with 225/40 tyres. (Winter tyres in the pic so look a bit bigger)

I didn't have any issues with running at the front, only the very occasion rubbing from the rear going around corners under load but my car is quite low.

Pretty much perfect fitment if your not too low.

Loving that. I think you can only get a genuine set in the more concave style in 19 inch. Unless you go for reps. My set in the picture above are a genuine set (CH012)

dangriff540 · Dec 11, 2015

My bbs's are 9j on the front and 9.5j on the rear, standard ride height and got 235/35/19 tyres on, not a massive fan of streched tyres but cant really get any wider as would rub on the rear!!!

Andrew@A.L.D · Dec 11, 2015

I ended up getting these wheels Audi A5 V 10 Spoke speed lines, same as the ones I posted above. They have been refurbished, powder coated in anthacite and with 235/40/18

SoulGlo · Dec 11, 2015

^^they look great

mattyboyc · Dec 11, 2015

So what is the spec? Genuine or reps, what ET and width? The look like the fill the arches very well.

Andrew@A.L.D · Dec 11, 2015

Genuine Audi wheels, 18 inch, ET28 8.5 wide I think.

I'm fitting 235 tyres the picture above is with 225

mattyboyc · Dec 11, 2015

They look good, and the added bonus of being genuine quality. Are they the same centre bore or did you need spigot rings?

Andrew@A.L.D · Dec 12, 2015

That I'm not sure but will find out soon.

mattyboyc · Dec 12, 2015

I think you'll find A5's have a 66.6 CB and we have a 57.1 CB but I may be wrong.

Andrew@A.L.D · Dec 12, 2015

Your right. Got that bit sorted and parts on the way to take up that slack.

mattyboyc · Dec 12, 2015

Look forward to seeing them fitted, I have been looking for some new rims with a better ET and I don't want to use spacers.
Looks like A5 could be the way to go.

Andrew@A.L.D · Dec 12, 2015

My car has not been lowered yet so not sure what it will look like with its 4x4 stance.

DieselJake · Dec 13, 2015

Nah in all seriousness I've always thought 19" RS6's look spot on for B6's, old pic but here's mine:

Edit: Noticed your also now talking about lowering, anything bigger than 17's and I'd highly recommend going down a couple inches else your car will look like it's on stilts. Obviously a bit of bias in me saying this but 19's with Eibach are a good combo... would maybe go air ride or coilovers if I started again just for a change.

Andrew@A.L.D · Dec 19, 2015

Well here they are. Will be fitting some Koni shocks and springs with a 35mm drop soon.

BigCat · Dec 19, 2015

Nice wheels..

Gazwould · Dec 19, 2015

Big thumbs up .

Andrew@A.L.D · Dec 19, 2015

thanks guys. Well happy with the look of the car now. Shocks and sorings, remap and a repaint and I'll be very happy with it as my daily driver.

mattyboyc · Dec 20, 2015

Loose the chrome, twin pipes, job done!!!!!!!

Wheels do look good, I love the way they fill the arches.

Andrew@A.L.D · Dec 20, 2015

Was thinking the same thing.. Will do the chrome over Xmas.

What wheels would look good?
