I'm officially joining the 19" club :whistle2:. I originally wanted some oem rotor style rims but since looking about I have narrow my search down to 3 potential candidates ;)

all of which are 8.5x19 et45 which is probably the max I can get away with without rubbing as I will be fitting coilovers at some point.

Also I'll be wrapping them in 225/35/19 Goodyear eagle f1 or verdastain ultrac vorti as iv heard good things on tyre review.

Any suggestions? Thank for looking
 
I prefer the 2nd one, try get someone to photoshop it on your car
 
I think I'm pulled to the last one that gray/silver effect looks really nice. This was the first picture I noticed that caught my attention

I'd really want to see them up close to be sure though. The picture might of been filtered
 
That image looks like it's been touched up. Yes best to see it in person, and personally that looks a little too grey, I'd go for anthracite or something slightly lighter. But of course it's your car at the end of the day
 
audi upgrades
Had a chat about the avus alloys (first picture) they only available offset at the minute is ET35 which I think is too low :sweat:. I'm sure the minimum is 43 if I'm right in thinking?
 
Couldn't say I like any of them. There rip offs of other wheels.

Yes I no but I don't want to spend thousands on just alloys alone. It will cost me best part of £500 squid for decent tyres which should make up for it.

You could say the same for replicas I suppose, which is what my budget (the missus) will allow :whip:

You don't have to spend thousands. Just look around on the used wheel market. I'd much rather have a good genuine used pair then some new rep brand that you don't know much about.

With enough looking around you'll find something nice. I got some audi speedline splits in 18s for £200.
 
I am not a fan of most after market wheels that are reasonably priced as they are usually soft and have thin coating. Yes they are cheaper but in the long term they become expensive unless you avoid all potholes and take a taxi to the curb. If you don't want to pay the price for the rotors but want something that can take a few punches then go for HRE FF01. Yeah they are a little pricey but are great quality and much less than rotors. the above wheel you like has a dish that appears to sit outside of the rim so you will increase your chance of rim rash and highway debris. The FF01 sits flush and comes in the right offset. just my 0.02
