    You pick, I buy

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Its supha easy, you pick, I buy them late this summer. For about a month or two now I've been debating on which rims to get. I hate posting these types of threads but I just can't make up my mind. Which ones should I get?

    Choice 1: Privat Netz 18" matte grey finish


    Choice 2: RS4 Reps (DTM)


    Oh and my car is Santorian blue just for reference
    Thanks

    If you're going to get RS4's try to get the oem ones. Otherwise choice 1.

    Why? Just curious. Besides that its OEM. They cost a shit load more. Do they even have OEM DTM wheels?

    3 for choice 1 so far. I saw some 19's on a silver a4 then other day in the b5 thread. They looked good but I wish I could see some on a santorian car.

    Option A FTW.

    NTM that would take one more set of RS4 Reps off the market, and I want a set for myself. But Rep's look better on silver than blue

    Re: You pick, I buy

    Yeah thats a generic image of those rims. The ones for the A4 would not have a deep dish. They do have staggered setups but staggered are usefull on RWD cars. On AWD its just for looks and they are PITA.

    Because replica's are usually cheaply made, as was the case with my RS4 wheels. Cracked 2 wheels.

    I personally had the privat netz (choice 1) on my b5... they looked awesome. I had the 19" staggered set up in the flat grey finish. Great wheels, and the lips on them are deep and keep their finish. My car was black, but if you wanna see pics lemme know.

    Someone on here had a santorian blue audi with similar rims (Netz), I think his member name was eurotuned 2.8 or something along those lines. Not sure though.
