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..

http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=3885981 I think these would look absolutly sick on your car. Only problem is they are 19's and you will need to run 10 mm spacers. Just my .02 cents.. BTW I have a set that are getting powder coated for my b6 avant next summer... Glad you found your Red USP avant. Looks clean and is very very rare.

please post up pics when you get them on your Avant - should look pretty sweet..

thanks, it is pretty rare.. i searched 5 sites daily and emailed 50+ dealers every 2 wks for 4 months to find it.. in the 4 months i was able to locate a total of 7 Red USP Avant 1.8T 6spd in the US..
