Stunning!

I would imagine you're looking at between 6-8k for those though!

Yes they'll fit in theory but it depends on the adaptor.
They'll have -2mm poke, but by the time you factor in a 15mm adaptor, the net poke becomes around +13mm.
Which may be too agressive for the front and you will get arch contact if lowered unless you use stretched rubber.

+1 plus it will look naff and with less concave than OEM 20's 5 segments.

Chris, don't skimp on alloys for the 6 and spoil the look of the car.

Received and understood!!!

I've be toying since I got the car on wheels?

Just can't decide on whether OEM 20"s are the best to stick with or not?

Just wanna try something different?

It seems the C6 is a difficult car to re wheel!!!!!

They will fit but the correct offset for RS6 MTM Bimotos is ET40
Therefore these will stick out by a further 5mm, so more chance of wheel arch contact.

What about...

20" x 10.5
Offset 25

With a 10 mm spacer?

Any one?

With 10.5" wide, you need to have about ET40-42. ET25 will have the wheels sticking out by 15mm pass the arches to my calculations so adding spacers will add even more to it.

Agreed though that if your'e gonna spend the money to upgrade the rims, get something different, and something that fits ;)
Would they rub on the inside or outside side of the tyre?
