Which are those? Are they the ones I see referred to as "peelers"??

Do a search for Sarge on here. My old RS6. Plenty of pics with these wheels on.

Someone may be able to post one up in this thread for you!

I agree with a previous post certain cars just look right on standard wheels ie the C5 looks right may be better painted Plus colour. Having come from Evo ownership where every one up graded the standard wheels it can make the 6 look a bit Chav !!!!! I don't even like the MTM option but that is just personal taste :D

Whilst looking at the HRE site I found some identical looking wheels to these. Have a look it may answer your question?

We're all different, but I would stick to the standard 19 inch beauties. Maybe with a slight change in colour. The standard colour looks great with Daytona.

What do we think about a set of 9J x 19 rims with an 27 offset?
Will they work or is the offset too far out?

I love te peelers but really don't fancy 20" rims destroying the ride.

27ET will stick out 8mm further than OE. Will fill the arches nicely.

Stick a pic up. They will stick out further than OEM wheels but should be ok. You need to makedure the spokes of the wheel will clear the brakes. Been loads of talk about it on here mate.

Not the best picture but I have MTM Bi motos on my C5. 19 x 9.5 - I think they suit the car really well. Am I correct in saying they are Titanium? I know they certainly are very light, which helps if performance is your thing

Really nice wheels. I'm not sure but I would guess they are forged aluminium alloy and not titanium alloy.

Titanium would cost an arm and a leg unless its a low volume titanium mix.

We use it quite a lot in aviation but on spares worth 6 figure amounts.

:beerchug:
Must admit I was considering changing the standard wheels to gloss black if they ever need touching up, think the look good black on the Daytona...

I thought I recognised that flyover and backdrop Sulli.

Then I saw the specials reference.
