My wheels are on! ( lots of pics )

[FrankA6]

Ok, so i got my wheels in yesterday, and go them on the car, 18x9 Raderwerks MTEN-80's with Falken Ziex 912 tires 235/40/18 ( no rubbing at all!!! ) also i got my In.Pro mirrors in the other day, and besides that i took everyone's advice and debadged the back of the car, so here it is!

















its been raining alot here in PA, so when its nice i will have better pics, cya!

Looking very clean Nice! You should see if you can get the audi center caps to fit. It would set it off. Was it pretty easy to change the mirror covers?

[FrankA6]

thanks man, and yes very easy, took like 5-10 mins a mirror, and raderwerks are sending me their logo caps soon as they get some. but im not sure if audi ones will fit, but i might try anyways.

[Firefighter637]

Looks sharp! I would clear corner the headlights though.

[FrankA6]

thanks!, hmmm well to be honest with you, i ,like the orange in them. atleast on a blue car.

[cbock]

that's very well done. i love the wheels. the mirrors look good too. clean man. clean.

[FrankA6]

thanks man.

[Gigi]

what a beauty!!!
LOve it, reminds me of my car when I has the BBS RS GT!
LOve your rims, great choice. what's offset again? 9" is perfect with whatever offset you have, guessing close to 35

[Grenade]

Loooks hawt man hawt.. LOVE THAT LIP

[FrankA6]

Thanks guys, and Gigi, yeah they are 35ET 18x9, they fit great, no rubbing, and right out perfect to the fenders.

[VJ's A6]

Frank-- The car looks BEAUTIFULLLLL.. Love the lip..

BTW- Are you coming to Waterfest??

[skiroad'r]

Seriously dude -- those look absolutely fantastic. Clean and mean.

Do you plan to run them all season? If so, be careful in the snow. Light Snow reviews on those tires has been pretty negative.

[audirs]

good job frank, they look awesome. look at the lip in the front!

skiroad'r thats not what i want to hear, i got the same tires with the intension of snow use. i was told they should hold up okay

[onewicked]

WOW...That is one clean C5.. Thats the look I want. How much did those wheels set you back? Also, with the 235 tire on a 9", is there any stretch to the tire?

Also do you have the big HP2 calipers? Any spacers needed?

[Kievskiy]

well, its my turn now, 18x9 man, 18x9 .......you got that Euro look you wanted man, the car looks good, one more clean and beautiful A6 in our community, Good job, Frank ! :)

[Invanity]

they look good!

[jgmpn6]

[VMRWheels]

ncie, heyhe is right, don't run these in snow/icey weather or be careful. This tires should not be classified as all season, behaves more liek a sumemr tire IMO.

[FrankA6]

Thanks alot guys, and yeah i'm not running these wheels or tires in the winter, i just got these, becasue it rains alot for some reason now in PA, and yeah i'm going to Waterfest, as far as i know, and the wheels and tires arnt much money at all, everything was about $1750 the total, tires and wheels, but i think i might buy another wheel to have a backup incase i bend one! but in person, they look waaaaaaay larger than 18" so overall im happy with them. and as for the tires, its just a slight stretch , but thats what i was going for the stretched look, i almost went 225/40's :0

[cowboy]

Very nice look, do you happen to remember the weight of the rims, are they quite a bit lighter then stock.

[Daft]

The car looks great Frank!

Full on baller status for sure. You better buy those Waterfest tickets and come down to hang out with the crew!!!

[FrankA6]

Thanks guys, and if im correct they are 22LBS each, im not sure about the stock wheels, and Daft, im on it!, i just ordered them! lol

[Gigi]

22lbs only!!!! they are cast wheels right? WOW impressive for that price... gotta get me a set!!!!! For sure get a 15th wheel at this price, not worth fixing a bent one.

[wofman]

gorgeous -- you guys are bad influence on me, starting to appreciate the looks of the larger rims; these are real nice -- look forward to seeing at Waterfest

wofman

[FrankA6]

thanks, man they look so amazing in person, and Gigi, on the outside of the box it says 22lbs, and yes they are one piece cast, and feel and look very strong.

[SteveKen]

Looks great Frank!!!

I hope to see it at a future GTG.

Next step should be a clear corner mod.

Also, I'm wanting to get a euro front plate. Is your back backing piece the euro OEM (molded for the bumper curvature) or is it a bent/straight stock one from where you got your plate? BTW, where did you get your plate?

[FrankA6]

thanks man, and next mods for the outside, is R6 bumper, and either R6 sides or AR sides, and the plate is straight but the plate itself is real looking as can be, i got it from www.licenseplates.tv , great place, fast shipping. Steveken, where are you in Pittsburgh? im in Masontown, near Uniontown.

[SteveKen]

I'm in Scottdale. It's about 7 mi from Connellsville.

[ENDEE666]

Looks tight man!! Very nice!

What % tint do you have? Getting mine done soon...

[FrankA6]

Heh, i was just in Connellsville a few hours ago, and thanks Endee, its 35%

Looks fantastic! Any chance you know if those fit over HP2s?

[FrankA6]

Looks fantastic! Any chance you know if those fit over HP2s?

I doubt it man, they barely fit over my brakes.

[FrankA6]

but hey, give raderwerks a call, then can tell you if they fit over hp2's
