They look like HRE-M40 to me. Start saving up.

Except it needs a good T-cut.

Looking at the center caps I think you are correct

If I was to guess those wheels, I'd say it's a copy/pasta 11" rear ADV.1 or Forge360 wheel from a Gayhardo or 'Vette implementation... you just can't get that sort of off-set on the front of a B7.

Good find, bam. Shame they couldn't photohop a decent paint finish in, too.

Thanks for the heads up on the rims :)

The dish on the photoshopped alloys seems a lot deeper than the wheels listed on the ADV or Forge360 sites....

It's not 'dish' it's 'concave' (or Konkave as the marketing speak will have you thinking). Dish is for 3 piece stuff, these are monos so they get the concave treatment.
You can get some good concave action on the rears but you'll be limited on the front axle due to bigger callipers. Anything from HRE, 360 or ADV.1 will be made to order. So just roll up and get measured, tell 'em you want as aggressive a concave on the front as possible and let them go wild on the rears. To me though, deep concave on the rear but not on the front... just looks wrong on an Audi, it's something in my brain that won't let it look right due to the quattro AWD.

Gratuitousness picture posting.

I've been told there is this thing called a 'like' button on facefook.

Well this is my 'like' on here :bowdown:

There is no doubt that Luke has the best looking wheels on here.

Getting what done? Wheels? Spray tan? Anal bleaching?
