I hear you - just a few mm's lower makes a huge difference in the overall aesthetic / stance of the car. By the way, I just ordered the TPMS sensors from the same company (in NJ). Hopefully things work out for me like they did for you! Thanks again for the tips.

Here are a few shots of my new wheels and tires (specs below). I'm super happy with how they turned out. I spent countless hours on various Audi forums and Facebook groups researching wheel and tire specs with the end goal of having a flush fitment (wheel faces on plane with fenders) and vertical tire sidewalls with no stretch. Shout out to Eddie Chan at getyourwheels.com for all his help and great customer service.
Wheels: Vossen VFS-1 21x9.5 ET30 (deep concave) powder coated to match the Manhattan Grey trim
Tires: Michelin PS AS4 265/40R21
Suspension: Stock (pictured here in Dynamic mode)
Cost: $3,496 for wheels + $1,660 for tires + $200 for TPMS + $50 for conical lug bolts = $5,406
I was really nervous that the 265/40R21 tires would rub but I'm happy to report that there is zero rubbing even when taking sharp turns or going over big speedbumps. It is tight though. There is less than one finger width between the inner corner of the rear tires and the fender liner. I hope this post helps anyone trying to figure out how aggressive they can go on tire size.

Status Quo:
The day I picked it up in Boise, a week later the 1st set of 21's, and 6 months later, the current set of 21's. Saved the best for last.
Except the floating center caps don't work on the current set due to the wheel design. DOH!

Haven't gotten a wash or pics outside since installing wheels (SQ5 21")
Overall ride is as good as stock 20" and handling a bit better (installed new p-zeros on them)
Anyone know what pressure to run? Door is F35/R38 for stock 20", however for 21" I assume I should be going up a few PSI.
