B5 A4 Wheel and Suspension Thread

[McGovs2.7TB5]

Anyone try these wheels on a A4?

I've seen them on a B5 that was not lowered and looked like poo. IMO you'll want to be slammed to pull them off.

I've seen then on a Laser red B5 S4 lowered, maybe 5% tint, and looked really nice. Pretty sure it belongs to a chick too. I'll probably swing by the place where it sits and take a pic so you can see. Maybe do it tommorow, on stalker mode.

I believe you are referring to this car.





Not my car.

I wasn't, the one I saw was at my local mall. It was a pearl '96. That one^^^ wouldn't be too bad with tires that fit right and some low.

edit: Are those 20s? They look huge

It's amazing what $400 can get you on craigslist.

I got these 17" VW Michigan rims with brand new tires off a guy with a 2012 Eos who upgraded pretty much right off the lot. They have 2k miles on them, Goodyear Eagle LS2 tires in 235x17/45s. They are about 1/2" bigger around than the stock 205 15/60s, but they don't rub anywhere. The seller removed the TPS sensors, so I had to drop an extra $80 on mounting, balancing and installation on the car.

Totally worth it. Car was about due for new tires anyway, and these were cheaper than a new set of decent 15s for sure.

1999.0 A4 Avant 1.8t manual, non-sport and stock suspension. I wish it had firmer and lower suspension, but I don't really want to sink any real money into a 157k mile car worth maybe $3k. Thing does run really well, tho.

I got some center caps off fleabay a while back for my B6 sport wheels (5 point star). There is a seller there doing like $10 a set of 4 shipped. If they are knock offs, they are really good knock offs. THey have the audi logo on the back and part number. They popped right on in place of the VW center cap, but lack the little lip, so it isn't quite all the way smooth, but nobody will notice the little relief.

I better get some wheel locks on these before they disappear. Life in the big city. Heh... I got some on the way.
