what's everyone think about these rims or give other suggestions

[whitevdub]

i'm loving these rims

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/18-ST...3286.m14.l1318



i'm finally ordering some rims this week. i just got word that tire rack is no longer dealing with bbs and will not discount anything they have to offer through my source. if you guys have other suggestions on rims that'd be great. i just want to hear different opinions

[AudiWxGuy]

Not A Fan.

I think those are nice, another thing to consider is you may want a higher offset if you are lowered on c/o. Also go with Toyo tires they are much skinnier even for the same 235 size.

[toothysaw2]

not my favorite. i'm generally not a fan of rivets though. def do think the dual spoke is the way to go!

[slimmj0k3r]

my buddy had these on his b6 they looked pretty sweet imo

[A4 JooN 2.0T]

They're ok.

[Audi Juice]

Aside for the center caps, I think they look pretty sweet. If they were for me, Id need them in 19's and Id stay away from the crap tires they come with.

[MOFSTEEL]

Nope

[whitevdub]

they look like rep brabus rims

Those Ebay wheels are really cheap. No good description of the wheels, it only says "one piece" so I'm assuming it's a cast construction with a machined lip. They would bend easily, and since it's Ebay the finish will probably start to crack/peel off after a year or two. Also, the tire specs are good but wtf brand is that? I had Ebay tires once and the tread life was okay but the traction sucked in every aspect. Never again.

But ignoring all of that I like the looks of the wheels.

I love those wheels, but they are very expensive. If you're looking at a 18" package for $700, I'm sorry but the Sportecs are out of your price range at the moment.

Look on website like
www.tunershop.com
www.tirerack.com
www.setuning.com

or something like www.edgeracing.com for very cheap but okay quality wheels.

The first ones that are stern look cool in pics but I've seen them in person on multiple cars and they look really cheap. Not a fan at all.

[whitevdub]

[Sharkfin]

John, i don't think i'm going to take them. they do look sick, but im afraid to see if they would look cheap or not on the car

i agree, i think they do look cheap, and i would change the tires as soon as i got the rims but i dont think i am going with ebay wheels.

Good. and $2k is plenty to work with for wheels and tires. Figure out what size wheel (18 or 19") to determine what size tire you need, then select a tire in the correct size and take that total/4 to see what you can spend per wheel. It's the easiest way to decide between wheels IMO lol

[whitevdub]

^haha yea very true...i'm going with 18's by the way

[Raymax_2.0t]

Where can you get those sportecs other than private sale? I like me some mono-10's mmhmm. Sorry for T/J.

[prayforsnow247]

[whitevdub]

[ImitationOfLife]

These Ebay wheels look like something you can buy at Just Tires. Save your money. If you're looking for 18's, forget the lip, because due to the spokes not extending all the way to the rim, they will look visually smaller. I've been looking to upgrade wheels as well, but can't find anything in 18" that would look good (without lip) other than Sportecs. I don't really mind the price, but they're bit on the heavy side. They look good as hell though:

[CardNation]

Those Sportec look Fuggin SWEET!

[Sharkfin]

whitevdub, did you get a set yet?
