    How much were YOUR RIMS and TIres??

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hello,
    I just wanted to see where everybody is getting their rims, and how much did you shed out for them.

    What type, size and where did you buy them?
    How much?
    Bought second hand or brand new?

    Just wondering. I am in the process of picking my first set of rims and it is a bit confusing on which I should buy. Price is a big issue since I do not know if I am paying the right price or getting ripped off.

    Any Comments?

    Seriously, though, you are on the right track by asking around to see who has gotten the best deals and the best service.

    both tirerack and vmr have top notch service. i have dealt with both several times and will do so again come spring. either place has excellent pricing and VMR offers some wheel options that are more OEM looking while tirerack has a great main-stream aftermarket selection.

    Re: How much were YOUR RIMS and TIres??

    On a side note, I am on a lower budget, I bought MMR HR1's in 19" from a forum member a year ago. They came with brand new Nitto Invo tires and were $990. GREAT deal in my opinion. I am looking to sell them actually as I think I need a different look on the A4.

    What size is recommended, 18" or 19", for the 2005.5 B7 S4's?

    You can run both 18" and 19". I would recommend something 8.5" wide with around a +35-38 offset. Recommended tire size would be 235's.

    If you have any further questions, dont hesitate to ask. =)

    Re: How much were YOUR RIMS and TIres??

    I am not super duper into rims and such- but,
    What about going wider? 245? - I am looking for as awesome looking stock rims as i can find. (lol- I don't like being messed with by cops. )
    First i have to figure out if my rims are bent or not tho.

    Hmmm... people have been telling me that 19's will crack more often, true? Or are both 18's and 19's just as safe?

    You mean bend? They are more prone to bending because 19" tires have a thinner sidewall then a 18".

    Depending on the quality of the wheel you are more susceptible to cracks and/or bends when the wheel is closer to the pavement.
    They want you afraid of your neighbors, your community, your family, your ability to support yourself, terrorists, climate change, China, Russia, Covid. As long as you are afraid, and won't unite red or blue, they win.
