Alloys - What do you think?

Post by Surrey Sam » Fri Jan 15, 2016 2:37 pm

Just bouncing some ideas around in my head and thought I'd do a quick photoshop. What do you all think?

They're 20" Audi wheels and I quite like them.

I love the wheels and thought about trying to squeeze them on my B7 but my calcs said they wouldn't fit.
I've since seem them on a B8 and they didn't look as good as I thought they would.
I'd have got them for the C7 if they had a 21" option.

Yeah I've seen them in the flesh Mike and like you say, they look good but just need to be 21's for the RS6. I thought the B8 would suit them well and the mock up looks good? Looking into them, there are lots of different variants (like the Rotors) as they were fitted to A6, A7, RS6, RS7, and then you had some winter versions. So I would need to find the standard fitment RS6 ones and then it'd be like running a 11mm spacer on an RS5 Rotor/V spoke wheel.

I think they look good buddy. You may have to budget some springs or coilovers though to get a nice stance :)

Yes, like the rotors, the RS version are a lot more concave than the rest so these are the ones that look bast and will give most clearance for your calipers.
