    Looking for opinions on a wheel trade.

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So I have the opportunity to trade my 20" rs4 reps for one of these two packages. I have 80% 255/35/20 pirelli's. What do you guys think?

    Option 1, oem peelers with brand new 245/35/19 potenzas. Curb damage on two wheels.

    Option 2, 19x8 BBS CK's with dry rotted 255/45/19 tires + $200. One of the wheels is already polished, the rest need to be done. Tires would need to be replaced.


    Pictures of my trade for reference.

    Keep in mind that the center bore of a B6 is 57.1mm. The B8 is 66.6mm. Most BBS wheels have a large center bore and use metal hub rings with retaining clips to fit different hubs. You'd likely need to swap out the 57.1 to a 66.6. Just added expense to keep in mind.

    Consider curb rash refinish vs. polishing the CKs a wash. So the CKs will cost you tires, hub rings, + $200...will be a lot more expensive than the Peeler trade. Personally I think Peelers looks better than CKs.

    Id be getting $200, not paying in. The owner says they gave 57.1 rings in now but isn't sure what the actual wheel bore is.

    I vote for keeping your current setup, or getting 20 inch RS5 rotors and reusing your current tires.

    I vote Peelers, but I am biased.

    I like the current setup, however, if you wanna swap I'd make the dude polish the rest of the bbs's then do the same trade.
