    Question Vote and post opinions: Wheels decisions can be so hard...

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So Audizine, I don't usually do this but I'm having a difficult time deciding what wheels to get next since I'm selling the black Mayas. I am deciding between the two choices below and then I will probably add a winter set as well (rs4 reps, or s-lines). And yes I've had the car for 15 months and have gone through 4 sets already

    *By the way my other visual mods include a gloss black Caractere trunk spoiler and a4 rear valence, headlights will be blacked out as well as both reflectors. I am also getting a black rs4 grill with a DTM front

    Give your opinion on these wheels, no need to be harsh
    I'm getting both at a great price but the BBS's are $500 cheaper. TELL ME WHY IF YOU CHOSE THE THIRD OPTION!

    Here are my past 4 setups:

    1. Stock setup with 35% tint with stock suspension, 16" 5-spokes with 215/60/16s:



    2. 18" O.Z. Michelangelos with 245/40/18s and stock non-sport suspension:



    3. Past setup with 19" Maya STMs with 235/35/19s and Stasis Tracksport Coilovers:



    4. Most recent pics I have of my car, currently have the 20" Maya STMs with 245/30/20s and Stasis Streetsport Coilovers:



    Possible wheel choice #1, 20" DPEs with charcoal gray finish and 245/30/20s:


    Possible wheel choice #2, 20" BBS CKs with silver finish and 245/30/20s:

    The DPE looks nice, but 20" seems pretty big, to me.

    Alot of people say that but my summer wheels are 20s and the winters will be 19s (if I get a second set). I think they look great in person but yes they are big. However, I have 245/30/20s and don't rub at all- and I'm pretty low (<25.5")

    Not a big fan of 20s personally. This isn't about me though.

    Of the possible choices, I voted for the BBS CKs. I think they'll look super clean on your car.

    Good luck with the choice. If you don't like it, there's always the classifieds!

    do the bbs's i have seen those wheels in person the owner lives by me and we go to shows together. If you look at his add in classified my s4 is parked behind his car in the pictures those wheels and tires are in great condition he takes very good care of them. Plus the 20's look great on the a4 and its different.

    Tony I'm already on top of the damn tire! When I packed my car up for school (7hrs away) the car touched the tire 75% of the time, it was rough. I'm really happy with the height right now.

    As for the DPEs, I've already have it setup for that used set.

    DPE are supposed to be great wheels. But I am not a fan of color matched or darker wheels.

    You gotta give it to Charles for being on the ball; the RS4 always look sharp. But you would take heat for being "another guy with RS4 reps."

    My vote is for the BBS. Because they are classic euro styling and this picture!

    Knock off? DPEs are very high quality! And I can't get the Ch's because I have a deal setup for these already that's why they are being considered!

    ^^^^^Does anybody have specifics on this car? I'm really interested in knowing the wheel/tire and suspension setup. Thanks in advance.
