    Need some wheel reccomendations

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Thinking about giving my a5 a new set of shoes. What I want is for rim and tire not to total over 2,000 but the more money I can save the better since I don't have much money to throw into it. I'm not sure if I care about weight or not but I definitely want something that's gonna turn heads and just look sick. Any reccomendations would be great thankyou.

    i think it will be hard to find a better looking wheel than the 19" Ywheel
    unless you just want to be different, but then you will settle for whees that don't look as good.

    Re: Need some wheel reccomendations

    I'm in same boat but willing to spend more. Right now I'm thinking about Rial Nogaro Bright wheels and Michelin Pilot Sport A/S. I would be willing to spend on lighter BBS wheels but I'm worried about making my car too attractive to thieves. Some of my friends live in sketchy parts of LA and I have to park on the street. Thoughts?

    ^ Main guy, in an apartment building around 7th and Garland downtown. A Holiday Inn was converted into a really shoddily built "trendy" apartment building. Parking is nuts. Lots of USC students living inside but the rest of the surrounding areas is a little sketchy for an A5. With the car I have now, no problem, I'll park it anywhere and not care.

    Re: Need some wheel reccomendations

    Alright so if i remove the price limit what are some suggestions. I know one of you suggested companies and i really like the look of most HRE rims but any specific rims that look good on the car. Also estimates of how much it would run would be nice since I have to contact them for pricing. I will probably wait til the spring to make a decision and purchase since if I did it now I wouldn't want to run the setup in the winter. Any suggestions would be great although i know what really matters is what I like I just want to see your opinions. Thankyou
