    Will the 17" OEM's from a B6 fit on my B5? And can this wheel be fixed?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hi, I'm wondering if the stock 5 spoke wheels from a 2002 A4 will fit on my 2001 A4 (2.8l with Tip if it matters...). I haven't done any suspension or brake mods, although a very small drop (just springs) is possible in the future.

    I can buy a set of these wheels for $100, but one of them is bent. Here is an image of the bent wheel. Is it fixable? If not, I suppose I could just buy a single replacement here on the boards...



    Thanks!

    there's no picture, so i'm not sure if you know the coding to post pics on here. second, you can fit b6 wheels on your car as long as you know they're the 5x112 bolt pattern. the only kind of wheels you can't put on your car from audi are the TT Fat Fives, which are the 5x100s..plus i think it'll cost you anywhere from 60-70 bucks to fix a bent rim, but if you're willing to do that, then go for it b/c those rims would look sick on a b5. i have a 98 2.8l quattro and i love it.

    Thanks for writing guys, I'm kicking myself for not writing the seller back sooner, they sold for $70! After seeing your ride though, now I really want them!

    I know, I wish you hadn't posted your photo! Looks super nice. How much do you think it would cost me to track down some 17" Celebrations?

    Also, what kind of suspension do you have? I'd like to drop my car an inch and half, but for looks more than handling, I live in Ohio, nothing real interesting to drove on around here... What would you suggest as a best-bang-for-my-buck solution?

    I'm not too sure about celebrations. I am on Neuspeed Race with stock sport shocks. The ride sucks, that's how I put a hole in my oil pan. I am sure the ride would be way better if I had went with Neuspeed Sport or similar. I love the stance of mine tho, I guess I will be investing in shocks asap!

    Best bang-for-the-buck would be Neuspeed sport, H&R sport, etc. Most spoer springs lower around 1.5" Race springs lower around 2".

    My Avant handles the Tail of The Dragon well using the B6 rims and ZRi 225/40x17. Mine is a TQMS, but I plan to get H&R sport springs and lower it another inch or so.

    We're calcaulating a little and getting 5mm rear and 10mm front, no more. And the 10mm may need to go back to 5mm up F. Will let you know when we do this.
