Love the stance on the first pic, do you have more pics? Are they the OEM 20"? Look slightly smaller than dougs, could be 19s maybe?

What is the ride height of this car? Specs of the wheels? Did it require the fenders to be rolled?

Also, was the foglight removed or did the owner paint the housing in aluminum?

The only reason I ran 10mm spacers was becasue it was super close to the front calipers and i didn;t want to run 3mm cheap spacers. With no spacers the 20s would sit in the arch on a super low car no problem.

Doug- Do you have any clearance issues/rubbing? What is your ride height?

I am lowered on stasis c/o's at 25.25" and I am trying to make sure there wont be an issue rubbing on the fenders.

Just doing research again :roll: :lol:

When i get mine i will defo be running 20's when i find the right wheels but will be in no rush.After reading all your comments
i'm sure i'll be getting slated :lol:
I do like the oem wheels,but like is all,i had them on my b5 for a while about 4 years ago.but since audi decided to fit them to every other model
they have lost some attraction.
I really like the 20" rs6 wheels they look spot on,but seem to be the popular choice.
As for running 20" reps :shock: Why spend all that money on such a great car to fit reps,i dont really get it.
The bbs's look good :thumbs: I may try to go for an oem 20" but try a different finish

Looking forward to you coming to the B7 fold Jules, you probably will get slated on wheel choices 

But I for one look forward to see which way you go with yours

Cheers N11LS :beerchug:

I cant wait also,its just about finding the right car.
I have a few plans but not loads.nothings cheap on these badboys :lol:

My hardest decision is air or proper low on coilys,but as low as i would want to go would stop me driving it quick so it may be air.
After after seeing Lukes feedback from his,it probably wont go down to well :shock: :lol:

Never mind,the main part is find a good one and just enjoy it standard for a couple of months :thumbs:

What colour car you thinking of Jules? - these wheels may not look as good on non-silver/grey cars?

I'm pretty much sure it will be sprint blue,Black being 2nd choice.
I think on a sprint they need to be a light coloured alloy

Yes, definitely light coloured if it hasn't got the black optics.

They do but again Audi are on the road to doing them to death on every non S/RS model, particularly on A3, TT and A5's . The last properly OEM wheel for an S/RS was the Avus III wheel which I liked.

I totally agree P_G
Why do audi feel the need to design nice wheels for the higher spec cars,then decide to fit them on all
the lower spec ones :thumbsdown:

Like i said earlier thats why i have gone off the B7 RS4 wheels a little,but i suppose rocking them in 20s is not so bad
