need wheel suggests for the Red USP Avant..

[fritzner]

i need some help picking out some new rims for the USP avant.. problem is, i have no money.. so dumping a couple grand on forged or BBS or _____, unfortunately, isnt going to happen.. at the same time, i dont want some Chinese rims that are going to bend just sitting in the driveway.. i will try to find something used, but i need some ideas on what to look for..

this is what i've come up with so far..
- i am going with 18".. i have a 1 kid and another on the way, i am moving to Pittsburgh soon (roads are crap), and i am not going to be able to miss all the potholes out there.. plus 18 are cheaper..
- i am going with silver / hypersilver..
- i am not getting USP wheels, i would love to have them, but i dont like them well enough to buy them..
- i like RS6, but
-- Sable already has them.
-- the come the B7 S-line and are getting more popular.
-- i've had 17" sport package 5-spokes for 6.5 years now and they are not different enough.

so i keep coming back to B7 RS4s, specifically VMR 708 v2 (18 x 8.5) in hypersilver.. i know everyone says they are played out, but i dont know that i really care.. they are a great looking wheel, decent price, and with so many out there, i should be able to find some used..

but since the set i have my eye on is not for sale yet, i have time to explore other options..

so instead of flaming me for liking B7 RS4s, give me some suggestions with the above mentioned in mind..

thanks for the help guys!!.. here are some pics of the car now..

There it is - the infamous wagon! Dude.. I'm jealous. I think my next Audi is gonna be an Avant... since I've owned mine, I've totally fallen in love with them.

With that said, I've seen a couple avants rockin the mesh wheels.. try choppin some black LM time attacks on it with a red lip.. Would look hott!

RS4 reps... only wheel i could think of that is not that expensive, strong enough for bad roads and look good in 18" and silver/hypersilver...

What do you think of these?
Love these wheels. This car is from a fellow AZ member. Hope he doesn't mind.

^ I know a lot of guys love these wheels, but I just don't see the appeal...

[tubbs_4mo]

Dude, RS4s are the most played rims on Audis. I am so sick of seeing people buying these UGLY, BORING ASS WHEELS!!! Go with something original


Okay, there can't be a [wheel] opinion thread without that being said. But seriously, go with the RS4s... This is coming from a guy who drives also Brilliant Red (sedan though) whose RS4s are IN THE MAIL! Seriously, I don't care about the 1 in 1,869,453 chance that we may run into each other on the road surrounded by Audi enthusiasts and get laughed at

Mine arrive Monday, and I am gonna cry tears of joy. Congrats on the Avant by the way... Gorgeous.

I always loved RS6 wheels on Avants.. Don't they make reps now in bigger then stock sizes now?

[AudiA4Turbo22]

always loved these wheels:

[fritzner]

yes.. depending on the company they make reps bigger / smaller / more offset / less offset / wider / etc

all sorts of different setups..

RS6s look amazing on Avants (check out SableA4).. but i am looking for some other ideas..

[A4Tuuuurbo]

How about the cool taillights in the gimp ass Ebay banner rotation below?

Anthony, C'mon homie.. Get this crap off here.. =)

Ummmmm, which wheels which wheels, OOOOO how about a set of DPE's? Talk to Manu over there if you are interested, he'll hook u up!
