Has anyone else experienced high-speed wheel wobble?

I was considering Vossen 22" 5-spoke, but I've a feeling if any wheel was to be susceptible to buckling, a 5-spoke would be.

There are plenty of buckled OEM 21s that will be suffering with wobble.
Not sure what you are worrying about though? Any wheel can buckle, I wouldn't say a 5 spoke is that much more susceptible than many other wheel designs. Obviously at 22" your tyre will be pretty low profile so yes there is a concern but I wouldn't worry about a 5 spoke any more than a 10 spoke.
Also, Vossen is a good brand and not heard of any issues with their wheels before.

And yes, Paul's car looks like a C8 RS7.

Thanks, Mike.

I'm tempted to go for 22's then.

That said, if things go wrong, It's your fault. :biggrin2:

No, when the guy 4 doors up had his front door kicked in by 3 masked men and threaten his wife for the keys to his RS6 my wife got rid of the RS3 that same week. Ultimately it led to me getting rid of my RS6 too.

Holy <beep>,that's nuts.im glad I live up in Scotland, that stuff doesn't happen so much here.hence why you have to have a tracker fitted so they can keep track of where the car goes to.

I picked a car that didn't appear on any stolen car lists. It was also a car I considered buying when I bought my RS6 and said I would buy one one day. As it undesirable to theives but desirable to me I ended up with an Alfa Romeo Mike style.
