Hi Has anyone got bigger rims on a RS4 then the original? Also pics would be great ...Thanks

There was one for sale with 20" RS4-style rims as seen on some A5s and they looked good. It's strange as I've hadd my car a year now and the 19" wheels now appear too small.
I guess you are having the same thoughts?

Would also like how it affects the ride & handling & interaction (if any) with DRC.

One frequently hears of how the Cayman S rides much better with the 18", rather than the 19", and the same with the E92 M3.

The guy at the top of my road has 20" A5 wheels ,bigger version of std rs4 wheels on his sprint blue saloon ,it does look good ,it has spacers because the offset makes the wheels sit in ,I'l try and upload a pic later

sweet, these or RS6 wheels are awesome

Not my cup of tea. Blinglischoius Surley it would have an effect on ride and handling?

Yep, the sidewall would be rock hard so the ride wouldn't be good

Looks good though! Not noticed mch of a difference going from 19's to 20's on mine.

Personal taste of course. I think the standard 19"'s look better than the 20" featured here, but the 20" wheels from the C6 RS6 did look nice. Someone posted a pic a few months ago.

Agreed, its a matter of taste some will like the 20" and some the 19" , now i think the 20" will look nice in titanium style on sprint blue RS4 ....gives me something to think about mmmmhhhhmmm

whats smallest than can be fitted (over the brakes)? I suspect 18"

I've been toying with the idea of getting some smaller than 19 and shod with winter tyres.

18" if you have regular brakes, but 19" if you have ceramic brakes.

VREDESTEIN WINTRAC EXTREME winters
245/40 18 are circa 600/set
255/35 19 are circa 740/set

so not as much difference as I expected and not worth getting another set of wheels

When I bought mine it had just been fitted with a set of these; 20"BBS CHR. Although I also got the original 19" anthracite rs4 alloys I have never had them on the car so I cannot compare 'before and after'. I am quite happy with the way it looks, feels and handles with the 20"s.

@22B, that looks amazing! No wonder you've not swapped them!
