Ferada do some cheap agressive looking wheels if that's your thing. Only come in 20 or 22 though and I think 22 is too much for the C7.

IMHO, Vossen looks so out of place for RS6. Maybe for S4/5/6/7.

For RS, you need HRE or some thing similar.

BC Forged will make your RS look like a souped up A6 only.

Just me. No intention to disrespect anyone.
I think the opposite; I think Vossen look really good on the C7 and the HREs don't suit it as well.
That's why it's just my opinion..... :nogarors4:
I know, that's why I gave my opinion.

There is also the issue of drivability and stability Mike, car would have been designed and setup to a max 21" wheel. So going anything beyond those numbers is going to cause issues.

I don't agree with that. For years people have been putting the next size up wheel on the their cars. If you go the next profile size down on the tyre then the rolling radius is the same so no effect from size. I run 20s on my B7 with no issues.
But I agree the ride may be worsened by the lower profile tyre and possibly the handling may be affected if the wheel is heavier etc but stability is not affected.
I do still think that they look a bit silly with 22s though and look perfect with a 21.

I agree with Mike in that Vossen's look good on RS6's. I almost went down that route

HRE are forged...BC are forged... seem similar to me.

Each to their own I guess.

Thank you for the reply and info.

Certs... the BC page says JWL/VIA cert which is, I believe, Japan's TÜV equivalent.

Good deal on the size. Will 295s fit without rubbing on the 10.5 inch wheels? Is your car lowered?
Yes my car is lowered on H&R 20MM. 295s would fit but I think would be too much with standard offset
