New 22's and front splitter on

Post by GAZ-MAN » Wed Nov 01, 2017 7:45 pm

Went and changed the 22's, Michelin pilot sport 295 25's on it feels a lot more planted than the other 22's which for some reason where 265 30's, new grill going on next week with the quattro at the bottom and front bumper vents going aluminium silver :)

A strange response given you've asked people what they think & then back it up with you don't care.

Personally i think the style of wheel looks OK, but they look too big & thus really don't suit the car. If Audi thought it was a good idea, they'd have offered a 22" wheel option.

As a comparison, i recently (before falling out with it) had a new FFRR Autobiography (that's the big Range Rover) & that sat on 22" wheels, so putting the same sized wheel on a medium/large sized estate car is pushing things a little too far & that's before you factor in safety, comfort & performance.

To be fair Gaz, i'd be pretty sure you'd get similar responses from any car Forum. Making quite drastic changes to a cars appearance is something most car enthusiasts don't buy into. I'd also guess that most C7 RS6 owners are huge fans of the way the car looks from the factory & thus would unlikely agree with what the Yanks would call 'pimping my ride'.

Aftermarket 21's depending on the style would look anywhere from good to amazing, but over sized wheels on a car such as the RS6 is a little OTT i feel.
