    Wheel Swap

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I traded wheels with my buddy Oceanside A4 for a week to see if i like the look of 18's on my car...on the other hand my USPs look absolutely SICK on his car. His tires are 235/35/18 and mine are 235/40/18.
    I think i have decided to go with 19's, but lemme know what ya think.
    Here are some pics:

    Not usually a fan of the RS4 reps because every one and their mom has them on their a4, but they look good to me on your car.

    One reason why I'm looking to get rid of mine (or use them in the winter with some studless snows) and go with something else. However, when I look at my car I like how it looks. Either way, its an excuse to go with 19s and bigger brakes and still run snows in the winter

    Re: Wheel Swap

    Me? Nah. Went with 18s because I couldn't justify 19s with the shitty roads up here. Not sure why I'm thinking about 19s now (1.5years later) but the wheels I want would look absolutely bad-ass on my Avant..

    Re: Wheel Swap

    I just bought a set of 19" (they came in yesterday) and it was a big debate between what I got (Rial Nogaros) or the VMR reps. And now I am so glad, I didnt get the reps. I think they look fantastic! But, its good to be different

    Re: Wheel Swap

    pyro, thanks so much for trying out the B7 RS4s and sharing pics.. i have been searching all over the place for ideally a Red USP with silver B7 RS4s.. and preferably in 18"..

    i know everyone says that they are played out, but in the few years they have been out i've only seen 1 set in person (and i live in Los Angeles and used to commute 1.5hrs each way, 5 days a wk).. granted i dont get any GTG (would like to), but just out on the street, there really isnt that many..

    admittedly Audi themselves are starting to put them on everything model from the A3 to the Q7..

    i also love RS6.. but Sable is already rockin' a set.. and actually i see more of those since they are the same as the B7 S-line.. and are also available on the A6 and A8.. so they are all over the place too..

    really i love both RS6 and B7 RS4s..

    dougyfresh, i could be very interested in your B7 RS4.. i have had a pic of your avant saved since you posted on the B7 RS4 Wheel Club.. are they VRM or other??.. if VRM, v1 or v2??.. width / offset??.. PM me details..

    Re: Wheel Swap

    well i can get these 18's from a local place for 450...so i think for 550 cheaper in wheels and 100 in tires for an overall 650, im gonna stick with 18's and just drop it. hopefully it will look sick.

    Re: Wheel Swap

    Both USP and RS4 reps look great. It comes down to personal preference, solid flat spokes or split curved spokes. Both look better in 19 though, but with the right drop 18s can look sick too. RS4 reps, USP wheels, CHs, LMs, ect...are all very popular, but I rarely see another car with them in person, and when I do it still looks really nice.

    That's exactly why I got them. Nobody can say they don't look good, and why do I care if I'm like everyone else on the forums that I'll likely never meet in person when I've never seen another car with RS4 rims live besides an RS4?
