Need imput! - New rims for b6 A4 1.8t Q

**Antoinebourdeau** · 07-17-2008 11:44 AM

I just purchased a 2005 Audi a4 quatro with manual :D tranny. The color is Moro Blue Pearl Effect. I am also new to this site.

The car came with the upgraded 17". I’m planning on using those rims for winter use and buying 18" for the summer... Because the color of my car I cant decide which color/ style of rims to go for. im a fan of the "simple and clean look" I was thinking maybe replica rs4 or rs6? maybe 5 spoke with lip?

What do you guys think?

black/gunmetal would look real good with the blue

There are so many.. start checking out wheel sites for things in your price range.. I personally like mesh or five star with a lip...

18" wheels with lip look small. Consider going with a 19" wheels if you're set on having a lip.

^^^ very true, especially since that is what I have.. :( But the ride is good and they still look good IMHO

I'm in the same situation right now.. I have Ming and i'm looking for a set that is going to look good.

I was thinking about breaking the mold and getting BBS LM reps to be an individual.

I've been debating for about a month now and everytime I think I found a decent set, I get swayed by a pic of someone elses ride.
I have an 04 in Moro blue as well with stock sport suspension, too
I dig this guys...Click

I think I'm settling in on the RPM's, but it doesnt have to be "those" wheels. I like the mesh spoke, though. Looks clean and not so juvenile I guess.

Keep in mind, though...RIDE HEIGHT IS HALF THE BATTLE!!!

I do agree with black rims... also agree that 18 wont be "as nice" looking but where I live there are some pretty ruff roads and feel that 19 might compromise the ride quality too much.. what’s the ride quality with 19s compared to 18s??

**b6onboost** · 07-17-2008 12:54 PM

Clean and simple...in 18 inch. RS4 reps, RS6 reps, USPs, BBS CHs. Unless you go 19s I would skip a wheel with a lip.

A4mods.com has pix of all types of wheels on all colors!

A4DJ i have ming as well and for Ming u should either go silver or black for the wheels to work! chrome would look good as well but don't know if u like chrome!

I was thinking maybe a white or gold ish brown rim would look good
What you guys think?

Also I liked the Spyn zx edition but its max size is 18 with a lip... you think the lip would not look right on a 18 rim?
Also liked the style of the Hartmann Forged DTM-7 but don’t think they still make it and they were going for 600+$ a rim (don’t want to spend more then 1500+ tire)
