So I'm not a big fan of the 20" v spokes.

I really like the look of the OEM 20" RS6 wheels:



V spokes are 9j and et 26

RS6's are 9.5j and et 21

My maths tells me this would put them 1mm further in towards the suspension and 11mm further out into the arch.

This sounds good to me, i know people put 10mm spacers on ok.

What i was wondering about is tyres. Should i stick with 265 or go 275 as the rime are half inch wider? I don't want the stretched look and would like to offer the rims the best curb protection i can.

Take it you've seen this thread - viewtopic.php?f=61&t=119853&hilit

I think about those wheels a lot

Never seen that but made me want them more now!

I'd go grey/shadow chrome on the inners and then lacquer the diamond cut face.

I do like these alloys not seen them in the flesh yet as all of the RS6's i have seen have the 21" the do have a lovely dish

The RS6 OEM wheels are

9.5J X 20
ET36
5/112

Not ET21?

I have the 5 spoke "peelers" and I'm looking for some 7 twin spokes so let me know if you find a stash hidden somewhere!

These were mine. Spaces required but had no issues at all. Still running 265s but will increase to 275s at the next tyre change.

Nice! I want to push mine out 10mm over standard so Et 30 is about as high as i can go on a 9.5

Ah man, I love you!

Awesome mate! I thought they were a good deal when they popped up on my ebay 20" RS6 alloy alert.
