Those are really nice. Is it me or does the A6 have a way of making those wheels look small?

wonder if 17" would look better? seems the lower profile tires accentuate the wheelwell gap.

Only lowering springs are going to eliminate the "lifted look".

When the spokes don't go to the edge of the outer rim it tends to make the wheel look smaller. IMO

Default Watch those polished stainless rims on the curbs!

The wheels look great. I have a similar set made by AT on my Porsche. The polished rims are curb magnets and I've got scratches on all four wheels. They look great, but I yearn for the days of regular alloys when the tire protruded a little farther out than the wheel rim.
