Those cool turbine rims found on the 4.2 A6 look great. Does anyone know what size they are? Do they come in different sizes?

thks.

Default turbine style???? if you're talking about the 9-spoke or 5-spoke, they are 17 in...

the 9-spoke aren't standard 4.2 rims, but are RS4-type rims and are available in 17" and 18" varieties

Actually i think they are 8 spoke (8 openings) that are found on the 2001 A6 4.2 model.

Hard to describe but basically, a pretty solid rim with very small openings.

Not to be picky, but if there are 8 openings then it is a 9 spoke rim. FYI

Not to be pickier but recalculate...because when it's a "circle" you've got 8 each.
