    New Wheels Before and After

    I got new wheels and I thought I would share.. I went back from 19's to 18's. The car is on bilstein pss9 (love it) and H-Sport RS4 sways (also awesome) Lighter wheels = better performance. Also started noticing a little better MPG.

    Re: New Wheels Before and After

    Your car looked hot with the 19"'s. it still looks hot with the 18" OZ's. What wheel was the 19"? I see you are in So Cal. Are you coming to the Rose Bowl on Sunday?

    Re: New Wheels Before and After

    X2, or even if you kept the rings chrome, Make em pop out w/o using that blue. Keeps it classy imho.

    Everyone's tastes are different though.

    Blur - I love those OZ wheels, where'd you get yours?

    Re: New Wheels Before and After

    I also liked the before. Maybe you can use the "lighter" wheels for racing purposes only?

    Re: New Wheels Before and After

    Loooove the after... I think that lipped wheels are too flashy and played out for Audis. The OZ's are hot!

    Good choice.
