Default Wheels that look like the 4.2 5-spoke wheels for 2.7T?
I'm considering upgrading my 2002 2.7T to 17" wheels. The chromed five-spoke wheels available on the 4.2 look really great I think, especially with a silver car. Does anyone know of a wheel that looks like them that would fit a 2.7T? I know the wheel wells re wider on the 4.2. I've checked Tire Rack and Ronal and haven't found anything.

Thanks!

They would probably fit if they are not as wide as the 4.2 wheels

I don't want the 4.2 wheels because they are too wide. I'll let you know if I find anything, Frank. Ronal R7s in chrome might do it, but I'd still like something closer to that 5-spoke 4.2 look. As soon as I posted this I realized I might get flamed for being a 4.2 Wanna-Be.

I like the 4.2 wheels. But the longer I look the more I want something unique.

Default As far as I know the 4.2 Wheels are 8" wide and fit the 2.7T fine-->
there are a number of 2.7T owners on this board who have them. They are expensive!!!!

Default The 4.2 sport wheels are polished & clearcoated alloy, neither chromed nor painted.
This is my favorite finish for wheels!

Default Have you looked at the Mille Miglia A1 on the TireRack site?--
it is a polished and clearcoated 5 Spoke design that is very "Audi-ish"

One dealer quoted me over $800 per wheel! Yikes!
