Yeah, my wife wears glassses b'coz she has a lazy eye now...
LOL! But seriously, I just sold the 19" ADRs recently because:
There's too many potholes in the Nor Cal roads and 19s w/ 35 series tires just doesn't provide much protection from damaging the rim. And when I had the Audi dealership Hunter balance the wheels to get them ready to be sold, the Audi Tech informed me that I've been driving on a slightly damaged wheel. The style is a one-piece and discontinued. So, the person who bought it got it at a <b>good</b> price w/ S-03 tires, too.
Besides, I was already in the market for 18s and didn't mind buying a whole new set that was lighter and stronger (2211's are 2-pc).
Personally, I'm still having withdrawls because 19s are such sweet eye-candy! But in the long run, I know sticking w/ 18s are more practical. Okay, I'm done rambling.
See link in case you didn't see the new wheels.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a6/msgs/361093.phtml">Link to Speedline pics</a></li></ul>

BTW, I bought a set of (5) wheels/tires from TireRack for only...
$2100 w/ S&H. Not bad at all for 2-pc. wheels and performance A/S tires. I think I bought the last set because the 2211's are not available anymore on their site.

Hey, CONGRATS, Angelo! Way to go.
It's good to have you back. Next time you're in the Foster City/Cupertino/Sunnyvale area, drop me a line. We can gab over a couple of burritos.

Thanks Mike! Yeah, can you believe it? The thing still works!
I'm always out in Foster City...but I'm allover the place anyway with work.
It'd be great to sit and chop it up a bit...I still owe you a round of Patron for the last time we met!
