Thinking of getting some new rims very soon.

I have been noticing 20" on Avants and (B6 platform) that look pretty damn nice.

I was originally planning on moving up to 19"

Currently I have a black USP with the stock USP (b5 rs4 wheels) in 18"

I Saw Ahi's Arctic avant and that looks nice with the 20" on it.

Chime in and give me your opinion. Im close to getting a set of those privat netz in 20" just because im on somewhat of a budget for now. check his thread if you dont know what im talking about.

I've got 20's and so far the ride hasn't been as punishing as I thought, although you do have to be on pothole duty when driving around town. I just had them installed today so I don't have much feedback to give you until I've put some more mileage on.

What are you using your car for? If it's just low-mileage cruising, 20s are less of an issue. If you drive alot, do anything on freeways or definitely ANY tracking or aggressive driving, i'd stay with 19 or (preferably) lower. Just remember you're not only going to deal with potholes in 19s or 20s, but more expensive tires, sidewall bubbling, rougher rides, and you'll REQUIRE coil overs unless you are going for a 4 x 4 look.

My 2 cents.

yah I plan on putting some coilovers on it after. I need to buy new tires NOW.. so nows a good time if i plan to get something different. I dont track the car and any agressive driving here and there on some windy roads. Ive been riding my bike more for agressive riding.
