They look quite nice, its just my personal opinion but you cannot beat stock wheels.
These cars are modern day classics and I just think they should be left alone.

They look good because they suit the colour of the car. Not sure how the silver ones would suit my colour sprint blue for example, but hey, they will be a hell of a lot easier to clean! What size tyres are you running on them? I gather that they are a bit lighter than OEM as well?

I am running 265 30 20 on them, your right they will be easier to clean & they seem to be lighter than the original RS4 wheels.

They are genuine RS5 9" x 20" ET26 with Michelin PS2 265-30-20, needed spigot rings 66.6mm - 57.1mm, I have spacers but not on at the moment will be putting 10mm on the back & 8mm on front when I install the ARB's will post more picts then.

Really look good! Well done, I knew they would suit the rs4 but it's even better. I agree they particulary suit your colour, should be nice with the phantom black as well I guess.

Using 20" 255 30 keeps it exactly the same as 19" OEM...

However using 275 instead of 255 in standard 19" format alters the diameter!!!!!!!!!!

255/35 x 19 = 661mm

275/30 x 19 = 648mm

255/30 x 20 = 661mm
