Wheel Choice...

[EYE4SPEED]

So I'm down to a few choices... going on an Arctic White B6 S4 Cab with Black Top...



Any feedback on these choices in 19"/black - build quality/looks?

1. 5-Zigen



2. Ruff



3. XIX or Maya

ruff, did you sell your USP??

I'd stay with the stockers. Those wheels, IMO will cheapen the look of the car.

or go with stock looking reps from somewhere like hartman wheels. a few would look nice and practically dealer optioned. satin black rs4 reps would look sweet. not that silly chrome lip stuff though.

Those wheels only fit Hondas.

x2 Rock the stock avus and save yourself some $$$.

Or if your dead set on black wheel's maybe go with some black reps or powder-coat the stockers.

I agree those choices are not ideal, but a higher quality wheel would look better. I went with DPE R16s w/ Liquid Cinder centers.

[MisanoRS4]

out of the wheels you posted pics of i would go with the 5-zigens, but if i could get any wheel they would be LM's.

[mystro]

I would go big and get a light weight forged wheel.

I actually had the dealer swap me for the BBS CH's on the newer S4's... so I'll be running those in the winter.

I want a black wheel, but really want a lip (deep dish) look. I had the MRR GT1's on black S4 and really liked them, but didn't want to go back to the same wheel. The DPE's, HRE's and BBS all look great, but everyone has them already and the lip isn't as deep as I'd like.

When I went to the WheelNext.com site, all these wheels were compatible -- I guess the Honda reference was a joke...

Nobody likes my ADR Propulsion's either on my USP, but I guess to each his/her own.

Zbrock - I still have the USP... waiting patiently (very) for the right buyer.

It may seem like everyone has these higher end wheel's when browsing the forums but out there in the real world you will be very unique. Even living in so-cal i very rarely see them, and i have never seen another set like mine in person. Give this some thought if "originality" is drawing you away from the likes of dpe, hre, bbs, etc...

I absolutely loved my LM's. They got so many compliments. pricy but worth it.

+1, HRE's are the way to go. There's an arctic white S4 here with C21's and it looks so good. HRE's are good if you can afford them, and you see a lot fewer HRE's than DPE or Iforged just because of the price I think. But they make the absolute nicest wheels.

[iconoclast]

stock wheel greater than all those others...

[LAS]

of those choices, i vote for the stock wheels.

[nealRlett]

of those choices - go stock

[MOFSTEEL]

I bet those look great on your car.

[AudiOso]

I'm not a fan of black wheels. I regret the grey wheels I have on my Avant and want to get rid of them soon for something silver or polished aluminum.

[iconoclast]

did you mean higher cost or higher quality?

[Rodknock]

Black wheels on white cars look like dookie.

[Chapunki]

+1 on the BBS CH's, they look great on the cabrio. Just sayin'

I just saw the HRE 890R's... but $1500/wheel? Michigan roads are hungry for fancy wheels. I think I'll go for the VMR version 710 if they ever get them in black...

[SpfldS4]

Both. The black out murder look doesn't look good on most cars. That's why I like the liquid cinder, has some sparkle and not true black.
