    17 in HELP!!!

    I am in a toss up. I cant decide whether I want the rs4 celebration wheels or the sport wheels (b6 ones.) Either way I am going 17 inches. What do you guys think is the better looking wheel?

    Exactly.

    Otherwise, you can always buy another member's "winter wheels" for an amazing deal and leave them in your shed b/c you're too broke to put street tires one 'em. Sorry Jim. The stickies will be on in spring.

    Are you going for looks or performance? BBS's fit well into both, but they're pricey as hell.

    Stocker's are heavy but usually leave a really clean look.

    B6 sport wheels. Found mine in a junkyard for $200. Painted them a gunmetal color, total cost with brand new tires came to around $600.

    What about B7 twin 5 spoke? That is what I put on mine and I like them.
    Of course the Conti tires truely suck in the snow as I found out today.
    Couldn't get boost above 8psi otherwise the car started going sideways.

    A couple months ago I bought a set of black 17x8.25 TSW Hockenheims in Mercedes fitment for $145. Perfect winter wheels and it looks bad ass.

    Do 17" Avus wheels. They are "underplayed".


    I want to see more B5's with RS6 wheels.
