    Wheels... Pics Request!!!

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So I just posted a thread about my suspension, but now I have to find a nice set of wheels to go with. I am looking for an all-season wheel tire package that would be my winter set, but maybe carry me through this upcoming summer as well. I really like the VMR VB3s but am not sure if they come in our bolt size. I also like the V710. Would a 19" wheel with all seaon tires be okay all year round (will they survive winter) or should I go with an 18" and then when I have money get a 19" for the summer.

    I would appreciate any pics of these wheels in both a 18" and 19". I need to make a decison ASAP.

    You can get VB3's for our cars, but you need some spacers to clear the calipers. Not a big deal.

    I have been told by many reliable sources that I should under no circumstances use spacers.

    I have been using a place that many people have recommended for Audi servicing in my area. They are experts in quattro and have there own race team. They dio great work. They told me not to use spacers and to just by a wider wheel. I aslo have 2 friends who have been modding adi s4s for years and they also discourage the use of spacers. I never used spacers, but i am not sure I want to. ANy thoughts...

    Why don't you just get some snow or all-season tires for your stock wheels and then just get some nice 19" wheels for summer. I definitely would not do a 19" wheel for winter in New Jersey. Potholes from cold weather and 19's are not a good combo. The stock wheels are very strong and will stand up to almost anything (I was pretty much rallying on a dirt road through potholes and washboards). However, with my 19" OZ ultraleggera's I try to avoid anything and everything that looks like a pothole since they are known to be a softer wheel.

    My problem is that I don't want to use spacers and with my 17" Se wheel the tucked look will be horrible. Should I go with a strong 18" wheel with an all season tire? Mabe a set of replicas from VMR. I am witing to see if someone will post pics of 18s vs 19s.

    why wait for someone else to post pictures for you when you can just search for 18" and 19" vmr pics and see them whenever you want

    You can take a look at our website, under customer photos. There's plenty of customers that have sent us their pics. The most popular wheels for your car are the V708's. Out V714's and V710's also fit your car. The three wheels I mentiond are perfect fits for you car, no spacers required, and flush out the wheel with the fender quite nicely. For our VB3's your B7's caliper is really beefy, so it will be hard to get them to fit without a spacer in the 10mm range.

    I have 15mm spacers in the rear only and have had no issues driving aggressively.
