Hello to all.
Possibly moving to the RS6 C5 full time 'hobby' soon
Have a lot to ask, but I 'll come to that soon.
For now, just wanted to know if the attached wheels are by any means factory C5 avant wheels.

Do you actually own this car or is it one that you are thinking of buying?

Is it my eyes or is the camber off on that back wheel?

guys - i don't own this car. I am currently considering buying it.
a few more images attached
car needs some work but if there is anything weird externally that you see (besides the wheels), it helps of course.

Missing roof rails.
Front badge position incorrect.
Front headlights look different. Might be the lighting.

Looks like it's got different tyres on the front axle.

Doesn't appear to have the RS6 logo on the seats. Could be the photo.

The rails were taken off but available (small rust spot on one of the slots)
I attach a few more pics
Anyone have any ideas what these wheels are ?
