Ipanema Brown Wheels Suggestions

**NYSpeedRacer** · 01-27-2012 07:35 AM

Gave my A4 to my mother and ordered myself a 2012 Ipanema Brown A5. It'll be built sometime during the 9th week of the year.

I know it's a color that hasn't been covered much, but any creative wheel suggestions?

what's your budget because everyone is going to say DPE and ADV.1 and both are ridiculously expensive

dpe.

sc16's or sc5's in tinted brushed.

but like seph said, let's get a budget first.

the DPE sc16's are a sweet looking wheel and but one them costs as much as a whole set of a normally priced wheel =] Is this car your daily?

HRE 560R, pretty affordable for a 3pc forged wheel at $1170 per wheel in 20x10 sizes.

^very nice

first off, allow me to be insanely jealous of your color choice, i think IB is one of the sexiest looking colors that audi makes. having said that, I think that a fatter, 5 spoke wheel done in a gunmetal would look really nice on that color

below is a5 done in bbs ch's, which is not a fat 5 spoke wheel, but it is in gun metal so you have an idea of how the two colors can work with each other. rotiform concave NUE's would look really dirty in gunmetal and those babies are around 320$ per wheel for the cast version, and 5K per set for super concave if you want to be saucy with it. but there are other 5 spoke wheels that look nice that are out there.....i could also see bbs LM's with polished step lips and gunmetal faces looking really....really good.

also before you get anything please get yourself a set of springs or CO's

Gotta pay to play. You'll be driving around a nice car. You paid $2500 for paint, so $4K for wheels is not out of the question.

+1 on the BBS CH-R.

19" should run ~$2500-2600
20" should run ~$3000

Those wheels in that pic are the old black edition CH's.

**Beast** · 01-27-2012 11:09 AM

post pics when you get it. I should have ordered Spint blue, you made the right choice.

congrats on such a sick color
I think those gunmetal ch-r would look amazing!!
or maybe some vossen concave

Thanks for all the replies so far.

I am open to all wheel options, not just the most expensive ones.

The last set of HREs I had were the now discontinued 3 Piece 543R and I have nothing but good things to say about them.

Yes, the A5 would be my daily driver and I live in NYC, so I'm a little hesitant about 20" wheels due to the low profile tires that goes along with them.

I really like the HRE 543R and would jump on them in a heartbeat, but they don't. However, the 560R isn't so bad at all.

I will be putting on CO, BBK and Quad Exhaust to start.

Here's a questions...what's the widest squared 19" wheel/tire setup I can run on CO and stock?

I thought Ipanema brown was a $6000 option?

OP, how much did you pay, if you don't mind me asking?
