    New to Audi

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hey everyone! Just bought an 02 a4 1.8T Quattro with the sport package. I have been looking at wheels and found a few I liked but nothing that quite jumps out at me! My cars white and I wanna go with gold or bronze with a polished or chrome lip?? Any suggestions, I am a college student and only have about $1200 to spend on wheels and tires so my options are limited ! Any suggestions??

    Re: New to Audi

    Yeah true story, but I get $1200 for christmas from my parents for wheels and tires (as soon as I sell my truck)! So parts and ish later on will be a paycheck or two out of my pocket lol! And thanks, I love the white too, thinking about maybe painting the roof black?

    then skip the wheels and get APR 1+ or equivalent, that my favorite mod, well maybe the RS4 bar as well. makes the car drive so much better

    Re: New to Audi

    as far as wheels, finding a used set would probably be your best bet for the wheels you are looking for with that budget...i also think 19" silver RS4's would look nice on the white

    No, IIRC it was the 05' that came with the painted lowers and of course the USPs... he has an 02'

    Nice ride and welcome to AZ... if you are looking for affordable wheels and tires try the group buy section or the site sponsors, they may have a deal on a set for you, Good luck with the mod bug..

    Nice car....dont ruin it with a stupid chrome or polished lip on some gaudy wheels. Go with some silver Rs4 reps.
