17" rs4 reps worth it?

[nytildie914]

so i just got 17" new tires, and my parents said that i should think a bit more about getting 18" rs4 reps because i would need new tires...so does anyone have a picture of 17" rs4 reps, because if they dont look good, then whats the point in even getting them at all...so dont tell me "dont get them if their 17". ill decide that on my own, thanks...so just requesting some pics of 17" rs4 reps...

[HOFFY11]

oh i would definitely strap up 17" rs4 reps..for winter wheels..

[got boost.]

17s look perfect with a drop. The stock sport wheels in 17 actually look good on sport suspension, 2002 of course since its the lowest.

[nytildie914]

any pics?

I hate that, when you have new tires that are smaller than the rims you want. Im sure rs4 reps in 17's on a lowered car would look good man, sorry i cant help with a pic bro!

its ok lol...i mean they have a point...and i would rather get the cheaper option as well..but i wana make sure tht it still looks decent with 17s...i mean i work hard for my money and i dnt wna jst waste it...so idkkk

[nytildie914]

someone has to have a pic!!

[got boost.]

you will be happy as long as you have a drop. Ride comfort is a lot better on 17s also so thats the upside of having smaller wheels.

[nytildie914]

yea i was gonna drop her, even if i would have gone with 18's...rims always become much better looking with a drop, thats just how it is...i really dont want them to be too small though..im gonna shop around, maybe i can get some decent used tires or something in 18's...then ill go with the 18 inch rs4 rep...

same here, can't beat that price! X-mas present for sure, if they're available by then..

[Maverick]

RS4 rep is too heavy even with 17" size.
either you go 19" or you go light weight 17"

i havea set of 17" OZ superleggera with tires FS, I am in MA

yea, i found a site that sells them..good price too, 600 for the set...i needed new tires SOOO bad...i had probably around -%10 left, and couldnt handle it anymore..now i see that ARU is having a $599 deal, my parents said they would get me RS4 reps for christmas..but now its just like, ok shit they dont have 17 inch rims, plus they wont look as good..im gonna look around, maybe i can trade or find some way to convince mom and pops...but i dont know..i would love to see pics of a 17 inch rs4 rep on a lowered car preferably!

[onceover]

one of my tires was down to the steel wires by the time i caved in and bought my reps.

Sorry- not an A4- but a photo of a 17" rs4 reps and an 18" rs4 rep on the A3


Another one- the furthest car has 17" rs4 reps on stock 'sports suspension', and the nearer car has Titanium 18" wheels lowered on Neuspeed.


When it was brand new- 17x7.5 45mm et

[DownhillA4]

That A3 with roof rack looks so clean.

Wow, 17" doesn't look too bad. With a good drop it would look pretty clean. And I bet the ride is a lot smoother than my 19" RS4 reps! If you plan to drop, I say save, and go for it!

[nytildie914]

wow, thank you so much for the pics...i just wanted an idea of 17" on any car basically..i think im gonna go 17" rs4 reps, with v-maxxx coilovers...

[tiptronic]

Thanks!- The 17" rs4 reps currently on are of hypersilver finish- so it really standsout in proper lighting. The spokes past the lips makes it look bigger from afar (like 18s) - but weird that as you get close to the car, then you start to see the obvious size of 17s. It gives out a good illusion, nevertheless, it also provides me with a smooth ride. But yeah i plan to dro, or even go to 18s

[Plasticar]

Yes, the 17s will look fine, especially if someone else is going to buy them for you. This is a bit of a peculiar place to ask such a question. Many here will say that anything less than 19's look like shit. Many of us who live in the real world with bumps and potholes wouldn't go with such a heavy wheel with short sidewalls. Of course, you have also hit on the basic difference, looks. The handling difference is likely minor, based more on a good tire than the difference between 17s and 18s. While ride quality and rim & tire surviveability are different. While the roads around Naples FL are likely pretty smooth, I would imagine those around Westchester NY are a bit more dodgy.
