    New shoes

    Haven't posted in a while and thought I would share. Downsized from the 19" Peelers to 18"s. So have pleased with the smaller wheel, car feels better and is faster.

    Looks good!
    Yes, 18" are better than 19" in most (if not all) departments.

    Thanks so much gang. I know nothing to exciting, but really admire the OE look. I personally think these S4 wheels look better on a B6 then they do on the B8, B8.5's...

    I also like the OEM look. Personal opinion is that OEM 18" Audi wheels are what looks best on the B6. There are a lot of really sharp aftermarket wheels but for some reason most of them just look out of place to me on the B6.

    They do look nice. I'm always a fan of updating the B6 with newer OEM pieces. Always looks proper.

    I'm starting to wonder if there's a wheel that couldn't be pulled off on a DG B6. Seems like everything just looks better with Dolphin Grey.

    Those 18" wheels do look nice with your B6. And I completely agree that the car prefers 18" wheels over 19" wheels. That being said, I'm not giving up the 19" B8 S5 Peelers I bought for my B7 S4 this past summer. Sex!

    got me little jealous over hear Tone!- Those peelers are hot sex. How do you like the ride in comparison assuming you had 18's before?

    Other way around, I went from the 19" peelers to the 18" S4 wheels. The peelers were sex, had them for 3 years, they were nice. The first year I had bought them off a member that had an 09 S-line Prest pkg, so they came with new Dunlop Maxx GT 255/35/19 tire, I had to really mod my car for them to fit. Raise rear suspension, roll my front fenders, cut the liners and shave the nub off the steering knuckle. My car drove like it was on rails, was super cool. However, those tires only lasted 12K. I immediately downsized them to a 235 and the car ran better. I just think that big wheel with the 255 was overkill.

    Since the downsize to the 18's in a 235, my car honestly is faster, and feels way more at home. Living in CT, the roads here really aren't great so not having the 19's is a relief. I also think the 18" S4 wheels look better on a B6 then a B8, I am biased.

    Thanks again for the compliments... The peelers went to a good home.

    Yea, I rode on 19's for quite some time around CT and it was a pretty nice ride besides potholes. Every time I hit a bump that couldn't be avoided I cringed hoping nothing bad would happen. 18's are probably the ideal size to drive on the streets around here.

    Looking good, I'm a big fan of 18"s on the B6, especially if the car has been dropped. I'm running B5 RS 18"s with 255 35 R18 Eagle F1s. Handles like it's on rails.
