    Help me pick a set of wheels

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    As the title states, I am looking for opinions on what wheels to get for my A4.
    I was thinking either 18" RS6 Reps or RS4's. My budget is limited to about $650 for the wheels (Poor student with part-time job ).
    If you have any other suggestions, please tell .

    Car in question (Since then, the grille is blacked out) :

    RS4 Reps!!!
    RS6 reps are alot more expensive and I think too wide

    Re: Help me pick a set of wheels

    I'm starting to like monoblock type wheels more and more. In your two choices, RS4s.

    Re: Help me pick a set of wheels

    Thanks for the responses guys. The RS4's have always been the wheels I wanted, but since so many people have them, I was thinking of maybe getting something a bit different.
    Does anyone have these Nuvolari wheels?

    I got my sets used, but I think most people originally get theirs from ebay. I actually have a set for sale right now. PM me if interested

    Re: Help me pick a set of wheels

    I say lower it first then get wheels, but as a far as wheels I think some dark gunmetal rs6's would look great on it.

    Re: Help me pick a set of wheels

    i've got a set of rs6 reps that need some refinishing $400 shipped and they are yours.
    i started to refinish for a friend but he doesnt want them anymore. wheels are straight other then the rash. but for $200 you could get the rash fixed and probably powder coat.

    the white spots on the black wheel are from wet sanding

    Just keep your eyes open. I picked up a set of 18x8.5 BBS VZ's wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sports in nearly perfect condition for $350 off of Craigslist!! And freshly painted and flawless complete S4 front, rear and sides for only $300!!! Patience is a virtue my friend...

    UPDATE: Well, I followed the advice of CaSp3r9 and looked at Craigslist a little more often. What do I get? V708 RS4's that lawnferie recommended for a price I can't argue about! They need a little refinishing on the lips but, DAMN, they look good. Thanks guys .

    Had it not been for me hooking him up w/ the gunmetal ones that bargain you got wouldn't have been possible. Rep pts for me I loved those hypersilver ones but when we found the gunmetal RS4's on his B6 we swapped. I just missed ya yesterday night.
