Awesome shots! What's better than one black allroad? TWO!

Are you lowered? Looks good!

[Lefthook]

Are you lowered? Looks good!

No, that's stock ride height. I did decide to go with a slightly taller 245/35/19 tire in spite of the recommendations to go with 235/35 but my speedo was showing almost 5% low so now it's pretty dead-on. Ride is perfect, no rubbing under even heavy loads on sharp corners with a fully loaded car. No fenders rolled or anything either. I'm almost wishing I would have done 255/35 instead of 245 but I was told that would cause rubbing for sure with an et 35 wheel.

Black Avant thread, rockin' it! That B8 is a thing of beauty!

[SoCalS4Avant]

[UncleDave]

Here's my Avant.

[RBSileighty]

Here's my Avant.

Don't see these to often, looks good! Wonder how that would look lowered with the new RS6 wheels in Charcoal...

[UncleDave]

I just picked it up. A friend has some TSW Vortex 19's for sale w tires for a good deal. I'm gonna try em on this weekend and see how they look. Then I'll throw some winter tires on these wheels and call it good. Only thing is the TSW's are chrome and I'm not sure I wanna go that route..Nonetheless, I'm gonna wear the tread off these tires this summer and have a blast doing it ;)

Nice! I like what you ended up with... looks great! Looks like you ended up going with the Hankooks as well? They're great aren't they... good blend of comf/perf for a street tire

old set up

[lookaught]

And more recently:

This car looks awesome but I must say that this virtual profile view is the first shot that has made me think that the B6 is starting to become a dated looking design... even compared to the B7. Still love the car, but somehow it's morphing into a dated look. hm.

[stllboostin]

how could i forget this pic!?!?..the only rolling shot i have of my car :(

i love this pic....

[rjpeaks]

My contribution--still stuck in partial winter mode, but the 19's are going on this week....

I tried to get the Hankooks but it was going to take 2 weeks to get them and my stock tires were SHOT. I got a smoking deal on a set of Dunlop Direzza DZ101's and went with those because they could have them on short order.

I wondered if that was your car I saw at 512.

yep ^

What paint did you use to paint the front USP to match the rest of the unpainted trim? Looks great!

Shots are amazing! If you're going for a sleeper look you should have the stockers widened to ~9.5" and get some spacers for it... then drop it... keep up the good work!
