Your best bet is, have a look at wheels and see what YOU like. Don't worry what others will say, some will like em and some won't.

Yup, I looked for ages. I only asked 3 gheys on here what they thought of them, I'd have still purchased them if they'd said they would look toss.
Your opinion is the most important, you're going to have to look at them all the time.
What kind are you looking for? Deep concave? A lot of spoke (fat spoke), or many thin spokes?
What size 19", 20"? It's amazing how wheels can look different just by the size.

19” I think are perfect on this car.

These Rotiform alloys could work, just need a better image and someone with mad photoshop skills :-)

This is on an S6 but I think those 3SDM 006 look great and I'm trying to hunt those down soon

The Sportec ones look good.

The S6 could be interesting. Need to see more photos.

As noted above, everyone will have a different opinion, but given the age of the car making it now a more "classic" shape rather than current/modern I think it just looks wrong with newer style wheels on. Stick to designs from the same era.

That said, if you like the look, go for it. 8)
