Default Well finally decided between Ronal R7's and R38's! Got the R38 in 18x8 Plus pics of my german Fleet!

After a long and heart aching debate I finally decided to sell my 18inch Ronal R7's and go for the 18inch Ronal R38's. I had such a hard time deciding because everyone I would ask was 50/50 so that didnt help. Since I had the R7's On my last A4 I decided to change it up. Plus I think the R38's will go nicer with my Oettinger kit thats on the way. The wheels look much better in person then they do in pics, they have a nice polished lip and the Audi center caps fit in them perfect. I really like the sportec wheels but I have heard alot of complaints that the finish is tarnishing and they are SUPER heavy! I also like the RS4 wheels but Im not a fan of the center caps, so the R38's where the best thing I could find. So here are the pics with my German fleet, My dads CLK430 and my sisters SLK230. Im the outkast with the Audi Had to refuse a C-Class. Let me know what you all think!

Default Im running 235/40/18 ContiSports, wheels are 18x8 35mm offset.

I went with Ronals again because they are very strong wheel as they do make most of the OEM wheels. I need a strong wheel because I go to school in Detroit and the roads are sh*t and I have bent many wheels with my past car and that was with 17's!
