Default Tired of my rims....

Need new tires too. Any thoughts on a great rim/tire combination for '06, A6 3.2Q?

I am liking the VMR V701's

The RS4 inspired V708's are a little cheaper though.

what rims do you have?

We all know only the big boys ride Forged wheels with a fat lip Much nicer both in looks and quality IMO...not sure if the VMR's are casted or not but i will NEVER buy replicas or casted again, they warp/bend like crazy

these are ill and might get my next setup.

Default Extremely Cool Wheels Avantt007!

Really, I was considering the OZ Ultraleggera 12 spoke wheel 18" (18 lbs each) for the weight savings as my 7 spoke with tires are nearly 55 lbs per corner.

I forgot to mention that I am only looking at 12 spoke wheels because they look like hollow 6 spoke wheels. 6 is emblematic of Audi's numbering scheme for the A6.

Good luck in your wheel search.

I have never been a big fan of black rims but those are nice.

You are so right. The Linea Corse wheels I had on my C6 had clear coat flaking off in less then a year, and started getting a vibration, so had them balanced and rotated only to have the vibration get worse. So took them back to have them checked and one of the rims had gotten bent right from the barrel. And these were $300 per wheel rims, not cheapos. UGH!

I was looking at this place they have some nice wheels and are inexpensive. Not sure of the quality though. Anybody have experience with them? http://www.wheeldude.com/catalog/ind...th=359_450_452
