OP's car looks like an Allroad.

A strange response given you've asked people what they think & then back it up with you don't care.

Personally i think the style of wheel looks OK, but they look too big & thus really don't suit the car. If Audi thought it was a good idea, they'd have offered a 22" wheel option.

As a comparison, i recently (before falling out with it) had a new FFRR Autobiography (that's the big Range Rover) & that sat on 22" wheels, so putting the same sized wheel on a medium/large sized estate car is pushing things a little too far & that's before you factor in safety, comfort & performance.
Thanks for your input buddy, I didn’t put the picture up to ask people’s opinion just put a post up to show some changes I’ve made, a forgot how much hard work this site is with the negativity on it when you change some things on your car,it’s nearly Friday enjoy your weekend guys :beerchug:
To be fair Gaz, i'd be pretty sure you'd get similar responses from any car Forum. Making quite drastic changes to a cars appearance is something most car enthusiasts don't buy into. I'd also guess that most C7 RS6 owners are huge fans of the way the car looks from the factory & thus would unlikely agree with what the Yanks would call 'pimping my ride'.

Aftermarket 21's depending on the style would look anywhere from good to amazing, but over sized wheels on a car such as the RS6 is a little OTT i feel.
I love the fact “enthusiasts” like you feel the need and feel you have the right to speak for “most” car enthusiasts on “other forums” who died and made you the voice of the masses!

Im an enthusiast, I’m on other forums but not everyone including me share your opinion.

As for the wheels I think they work mate, you crack on and do what you like Image

Wheels are a real personal thing on cars. IMO factory wheels look best on the RS6 unlike the Mitsubishi Evo world where virtually everyone including me put on after market wheels.
I assume that front splitter is the Maxton one ?

Each to their own... Its your car and you can paint it fluro pink or cover it in dog fur as I've seen on some examples on Instagram and the likes...

Wheels are a very personal thing and can make or break it in my opinion. But that said If we all did the same thing as one another, life would be boring!

22's aren't for me be but at least you didn't go as far as 30" spinners.

Enjoy the car!

Chill out man he’s only given his opinion just like you and OP, invited the opinions when he posted.

That secondary front splitter just looks chavvy and cheap just like all the bits ABT offer. The C7 is one car which does not need aftermarket body parts - Audi nailed it when they designed the RS6.

And the 22s, think I will stick to what the manufacturer (who spent millions developing the car) specifies.

How am i speaking for "most" car enthusiasts & where exactly do i say i have the/a right to speak or be the voice for them? I gave my opinion & given this is a car forum & the O/P was clearly looking for or expecting opinions, mine's as valid as anyone's & given the number of "badly modded threads" around & by the comments above i'd say less are in favour of the big wheels that more.

That said, you are right in that i'd never expect everyone to share any opinion of mine & in fact is a view best used by most people, however i think the majority would prefer to see a car such as the RS6 on either OEM or at least more relevant aftermarket wheels, but i also accept it could purely be me who thinks that & if that's the case then it's no skin off my nose.

Bizarre comment. What has not liking something got to do with snobbery??

Surely not liking something is down to taste & me thinking what the O/P's done to his car neither looks that good or really doesn't compliment a C7 RS6 is hardly snobbery (unless i'm missing something?)

I put the link in not to piss on your thread, but just as a quick info message for those that are considering your 22's option but have not done the physics part.
I personally run the deep dish 20's because the roads here are crap and I want the extra sidewall.
If I lived in Germany I'd be running the 21's.

don't mind the wheels but personally I would be fitting the carbon pack and getting the window trim and roof rails in black, but we all like different things.
