Default That's it, I just couldnt deal with OEM. New wheels ordered.

Yeah, Im having a hard time dealing with not being able to mod my car. I even ordered my car with the 20" wheels just to keep myself from wanting new wheels. But I gave in and the new wheels will be here next week.

All I can say is they havent been seen by anyone yet, they were just released a couple weeks ago at SEMA, they are black(how I like em...) and forged.

EDIT: For the record, Im not selling my OEM wheels. Ive been getting several PM's about them. The car is leased so I have to turn them back in with the car.

OK Finally got them on. TSW Panorama Rotary Forged 20x9 et35.Ive been getting mixed reviews but I like it a lot. I think my car looks like an unmarked police car lol. But what really works for me is how much lighter the wheels are. At least 10lbs/wheel. The steering is quicker and the car feels like it jumps off the line better now too.

There are pictures of them out there if you know what youre looking for. They will be 20x9 et35.

I would prefer to not show pictures until they are on the car just so I can see if they look like *** or look good. I could end up making a fool of myself if they dont fit the look of the car.

That's why, from the school of hard knocks and mounting wheels I thought would look good but didn't, I NEVER buy wheels any more unless I've seen them another car (same make/model) first.

Yeah, but then you arent the first and I hate that feeling. Im not worried really that they wont look good. I also have no problem being a guinea pig. I'll take one for the team.

Thats the only thing that has to be exact. All Audi's are 5x112 bolt pattern.

Understood. I hope they look as good as you want them to be.
