yea but i can get oem porsche wheels for 150 a piece, give or take a few...i hope the cost of adapters and crap doesnt outweigh the cheapness of them :(

Porsche bolt pattern is 5x130 vs. Audi's 5x112. However you can overcome this by using wheel adapters. H&R makes them out of aluminum and they are hub centric, so you get a OEM fit. H&R calls them TRAK+ Adapters

here is the link for them good luck post some pics once you put them on. It will be a nice look. http://www.hrsprings.com/products/trak/

those don't look bad, but i think for silver cars, or our cars in general, wheels that have straight spokes not twisted tend to look much better!

Andy...

OEM Porsche twists will most likely have huge rears (18 x 10 or so) which are way too wide for our cars. If you can get them in 18 x 8, let me know, I'd definitely be interested in a set of porsche wheels...

Also, let me know if you can get other Porsche wheels... I'd definitely be interested in a different design.

absolutely. i think it would look great. i almost bought a set of them for my car and it's silver. I think the hyper silver with the stock silver paint looks so good.

[Eric @ WAR]

I think they would look alright. They're not my cup of tea but they're not bad looking either.

I like the look of the porsche twists, but the OEM rear wheels are just too wide for use on your A4. So bascially you need to find 2 sets os OEm Porsche fronts and get 4 H&R track+ spacers that do the 130x5 -> 112x5.

I posted the reps to save you the effort of trying to peice everything together and having to run adapters.

[A4ringedONE8T]

H&R Adaptors are going to run you about 200-250 bucks per axle, Im sure it would be cheaper and much less hassle to get the reps with the correct bolt pattern and size

Nay. Personally I've never liked those wheels...even on a Porshce. I think you can do better, but modding your car is a personal choice based on your tastes. Go with what makes you look back at the car 4-5 times when walking into the store after parking it.

[A4p]

nay.....

[akaEsCo01]

If you get the OEM Porsche wheels, this is what you will be looking like. I hope you like stretch and poke.

nay...sorry but nay!

[B6Lovin]

YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY

if you run OEM's - make sure to get two sets of front wheels unless you absolutely love stretch and poke lol

[Shak]

I'd say nay. I like the Mercedes swirls better -- these look too subdued.

[Skyler@Achtuning]

Much more affordable than OEM+Adapters will run you, look them up on Ach :)

[Rommulus]

Nay. Leave the Twists for the Porsche

[JerseyShoreA4]

I'm gonna go with yay. I like them but I don't know about the 11" rear. a little too much poke for my liking. 10 inch wide would look good though if that's what they really are width wise. I think it was hre that had a set of wheels similar that you could get staggered. I wanted them before I got my a4. Then I started pricing wheels after getting the car and having the car payment. stock 17s are fine for now. lol..
