Good morning

Wondering if anyone can help. Have a b9 rs4 on 20" and would like to go down to 19"

Interested in a swap if any has a nice set of the OEM 10 spokes or something similar.

Just got the Goblin so I will post some pictures in this section soon as i work it out! Be nice to know if anyone on here owned it before me.


Ps. What an amazing car.

Welcome Jb

Hope you enjoy the car as much as the rest of us. I had a B7 and B8 before the current B9 (fastest colour too 😁) and although I sometimes miss the V8 rumble the V6 performance is so much better.

I’m running 20” winter wheels and tyres at the moment on the basis that (unless I take it to Glenshee) we probably won’t see much snow.

I presume from the car nickname it’s Sonoma ? A brave choice but looks good. Looking forward to seeing some pics from you soon.

Cheers

Rich

Hi

I am new to the B9 also, just a couple of weeks in and loving it. I came from a B8 with a Capristo exhaust which sounded superb. This is completely different in sound but I do actually quite like it inside when driving, im yet to hear it on the outside howver. It feels way faster than the B8 also :)

Welcome!
I run 20” summer and winter tires, comfort is great.
Why would you change to 19” ?
Ebay.de is a great place to find oem, sourced mine too there at a good price.

Because everything feels even better on 19s - they just don't look as meaty.
