What about the VMR wheels that keep coming up on the lhs adverts?

Don't know anything about them or how they'd look on an RS6 but they look nice.

The Dymags can't be that bad can they? surely the natural flex of carbon fibre means that they will be more resistant to cracking over solid alloy. Koenigsegg use them as standard on their cars so they must have some decent strangth. keeping up with up to 1000bhp must mean they are good enough to cope with an RS6. I hear you on the price though lol. Have you looked at Oatinger wheels? they have some pretty nice rims.

Well I've had the wheels back from Lepsons and am pleased with the results tbh. They look and feel much better with the Goodyear F1s on them. Re the RG-R rims, to narrow to fit the new 275 tyres but MTM do a 19x9.5" forged wheel but would be looking at £4,500 to save around 3Kg a wheel.

The problem with the MTMs is you would need the 19x9.5" ET45 @ 13Kg + 15mm spacers each side which will also increase the weight. Getting a bit close to the current wheels 15.5Kg for that kind of money. They do look nice though.
