Re: what alloys would you choose
I've never seen those before, like a concave version of the standard wheels. A mate of mine keeps pushing me towards the 20" version of the standard wheels, I think off an A5 fits width and offset wise. I'm not sure you'll get away with 9.5j ET21 though, a bit too far out.

Re: what alloys would you choose
I agree, lovely wheels and I think would look great on a B7 but they would stick out a tiny bit too much. It's a shame cos they would only need to be 4mm less to fit the rear perfectly and 6mm on the front though (although with my ride height I'd need them about 11mm further in).
Re: what alloys would you choose
Standard rims are et 29 and with 10mm spacer that everyone puts on makes et 19 so those at 21 will be fine. Or am I getting my et wrong

Re: what alloys would you choose
I think 8 front, 10 rear is the common choice. So ET 21 front, 19 rear.Rick_RS4 wrote:Standard rims are et 29 and with 10mm spacer that everyone puts on makes et 19 so those at 21 will be fine. Or am I getting my et wrong

Re: what alloys would you choose
are they vw or audi, and can you tell if they're 19s or 20" ?
i think they look class, but especially on black. my b7 is purple so i don't think i will consider.

Re: what alloys would you choose
They will be like your rotors with an 11mm spacer.

Always fancied seeing these on a B7 to see what they're like.

lol...it's ok. I'm not a fan of black wheels, each to their own
Yes, I have the RS5 wheels as my winter setup. They fit absolutely fine with SS+ suspension and without any spacers, as the offset is equivalent to running a 5mm spacer. Also, no problem with my larger Ceramic Brakes and Calipers which were fitted after the photos were taken.
