Put those black 19" R8s reps on today

[zz2h33]

...along with 02 sport suspension (thanks sambrody44) and RS4 22mm rear sway bar. The suspension install was kind of a pita, but it was well worth it. I got the wheels from Alloy-r-us who we've all seen advertise here (they also have an eBay store). They were dirt cheap but are really nice quality, cant find a flaw with them...shipping was fast and packaged really well. I highly recommend these guys. The rubber is Bridgstone Potenza Pole Position, 235/35. The handling/ride difference is like night and day. What do you all think?

Hahahahaha! I think Kirk just blew a load!

They do look reeeaal good though!

[DownhillA4]

Wow, thats a new look I haven't seen on an Avant before. I kinda like it, slowly growing on me with the larger gaps between the spokes.

[Bee Five]

Those look wicked I can't wait to get mine in the silver finish in 18's . . .

[Dirty]

Looks great man!!

[FourRings80]

Looks good!!! Kinda surprised no one said you need to get a BBK setup to fill in those rims...damn I just did sorry

[Coderedpl]

Like i said on the other forums, looks good :D

[n7plus1]

very nice...are those from alloys-r-us?

[A4natomical]

very clean. some dark tint would set it off.

[02SILVANT]

Very nice, Avants FTW with 02 sport suspension.

[jrau13]

very nice...are those from alloys-r-us?

read the post.....yup!

[tubbs_4mo]

Sick! I am going to end up with the same setup as you, as I am riding 19's and looking for an '02 suspension setup (more than likely) unless I go Eibach. Anyways, those R8's are nice... Hadn't seen them in 19".

[zz2h33]

Looks good!!! Kinda surprised no one said you need to get a BBK setup to fill in those rims...damn I just did sorry

BBK is in my future, they look tiny behind there!

[G Men 08]

[n7plus1]

[AudiA4Turbo22]

seriously though i thought they'd look meh, but those are the bombayda! only time in my life that i've liked unpainted lowers

[RASTA4]

Sweet look..... you interested in an exhaust for your 3.0? If so check the classifieds

[Undisputed]

Those look sick!!

[sadpandas]

seriously though i thought they'd look meh, but those are the bombayda! only time in my life that i've liked unpainted lowers

I hate you :), thats what i was going to say. Looks amazing the way it is....

[zz2h33]

^I do have painted lowers on the list...but if you guys say keep it i may reconsider. the rear lower is a bit scuffed, so i figured i'd just get it painted.

[pondside36]

Paint them.. you won't be disappointed.

[AudiA4Turbo22]

I hate you :), thats what i was going to say. Looks amazing the way it is....

you hate me enough that ur comin to the meet on wednesday right?

[JMRQuattro]

you need to get a bbk! And drop it a little then it will look better. Because of the 19's you look like you're sitting a little high. And those rims look much better with the BBK. Less open space.

[sadpandas]

you hate me enough that ur comin to the meet on wednesday right?

Yes, this is why i will be joining you and telling the rest of the band to eat a bag of dix. i have been in the studio everynight till around 3 a.m. or so... I would like to drive my car please and meet up with everyone. I just woke up too so that is really awesome... :(. Im off to the studio now but i told EVERYONE that i would not be coming in on Wednesday night because of a little car meet up... they laughed and made jokes then i went to the parking lot to llok at their rides next to mine and said "yes, a car meet up". 78 bio diesel merc wagon, volvo s60T (no r), and my buddy whos 'keeping it real' with his prius :(.

Sorry to thread jack but didnt want to pm, im open about me and kirk's relationship although he is a little hesitant to come out about... well, us. broke back audi.

I was thinking about getting R8 reps as well but I kept looking at your pictures and there was something off about them. I finally realized that the center area of the wheels where the bolts go aren't as deep or wide.

These are the ones that look like the R8 wheels in my opinion:




I do however like the silver with black outline:



Just thought I'd post these up here to show more options. I do like the way your wheels look on red though, just not a fan of all that empty space in-between the spokes.
