Okay....so I went out on a limb and Bucked the System, someone had mentioned ..." NO...don't put chrome on an Audi".
Well...I wanted to try something new ....I didn't wanted the center painted and all that ..not dissing anyone with that set up, so ....I got DCR 3 pc.. Hockemheim 19x8.5 with the center Black Chrome and the front 2" lip, rear 2.5" regular Chrome.
And let me tell ya.....I LIKE 'EM.
The Black Chrome set off different color depending on the angle and lighting.
Chrome are Smooth and Shinny....no wave in them at all.... they are real easy to clean with the style I chose.
So here are the pics...

Looks nice. It would be interesting to see the lips photoshopped in black.

Yeah agreed I like my stock too, but it's just something about riding on aftermarket shoes....
It feels different..[:D] Same reason I chose Audi over BMW...cuz there's too many.

I would have gone with some time attack wheels.. those red pin stripes would have looked awesome with your red car.. but I agree it looks different and it looks nice..

I dunno if it's the pictures but the paint doesn't look as dark with the new rims. I think it looks pretty good nonetheless. [up]

Nice rims.... everyone has their own taste and likes. I also like the CF front lip is it a Kerscher?

Looks pretty good man, what offsets are you running?

Thanks....I believe the offset is 33 and 29...I think...front cleared the BBK by alot..I was suprised that with the 2 inch lip they still have room.
They did a real quality job....you get what you pay for I guess.
As for the Black Chrome....I don't know how or what makes it Black...I just ordered that way and they did it.
Spoiler is like the one came off the AVUS edition.
The rims are better looking than in photos.
I'll try to get pics when it is sunny.

Nice stance! What suspension are you running? Hows the ride quality?

I really like them. But, one reason they don't look "perfect" in the picture is because the tires are completely dry. Wet those suckers up and watch how amazing the car will look. Also, powdercoat those calipers a nice bright red or black, I think it'd set it off that much more. Nice work!!

Also, loving the drop. Perfect height.

sorry but i think ure stock setup looked MUCH better...
also, why did you choose the dtm front cf lip over the kerscher? it seems awkward from the corner pics, could just be the angle...

Thanks,
Suspension are from PS9 Bilstien.
I'm still playing with the ride height and comfort as well as sport set up.
I just had them aligned and cornner balanced.
It is a lil more louder than the 18's but other than that I can't really tell, front full stiff and back is at 4, once I get the rubbing out of the way, I will tweak it.

Now THAT'S an Audi [:)]
I hate it when people say no chrome is good on our cars. I'm sorry but when done right it looks really nice.

looks sick, forget all the no chrome on Audi's crap, it's your car, do what you want. Plus you made a damn good choice

rims fall back to personal preference but the kerscher lip is sticking too far out from the bumper...isnt really flowing with the front. try sliding it back a bit where the corners of the cf lip go with the corners of your front bumper.
Wet those suckers up and watch how amazing the car will look.
I definitely agree. that'll make 'em pop! BTW, he's tastefully dropped chrome on the audi. Very nice.

Spongebob05,
I clicked on your Image Gallerie and unless I'm missing something, only your older photos were in there (06 Feb 07). Maybe I'm doing something wrong??

Never mind, my cousin grabbed the pics and emailed them to me. I think it looks great! The wheels match all the other chrome and polished pieces on the car nicely.
