Wanted to know if these 18's would look good on my 05 A6 with all season tires?

These are cheaper than Hartmann's but these are only hub centric for B8s (66mm). Ours require 57.1 so you will need to get ring adaptors. These adaptors need to be perfectly aligned, otherwise you will get wheel vibration. I personally think it's worth the money to get the hub centric rims. My $0.02.

The price is very good. I have seen those rims on an A5, and they looked awesome. Haven't seen them on an A6.
I don't mean to go off topic, but what does hubcentric mean?
I plan on changing my rims this spring, I'm building my own excitement looking at the topics here.

@babytransporter: I think member crazy1 had these same 18" wheels on his car. https://www.audiworld.com/forums/sho...ghlight=wheels
Hub centric means that the bore in the rim is the same size as your hub. This ensures that the rim locks in center when installing. B8 hubs are bigger than C6 so the rims made for these will have too large of a bore for our cars. If you try to install them, you will never get them centered and your wheels will wobble. Therefore, you need to get an adaptor that reduces 66mm bore of B8 rims to C6 hub size of 57.1mm.

Thanks guys for your input but after seeing @crazy1 with the rs6 rims I want on their car I think i want those rims in 19's or 20 but i want all season tires for them...the only reason why i wanted 18's was because I have all season Contential's on the car now with stock 18's so im like wats the point of spending the extra $ for 19' or 20' all season tires if there already on there

I'm considering the same style wheels as well and although I don't want to go below 40 series tires, 18" looks too small. You have to get at least the 19". I've seen some pics with 20" and they look really nice but the ride is going to be way too harsh for my personal taste.

Continental EWS or something similar sounding...its a new tire ppl say its nice. i have all season kumho (forget the model) and its also great. Just search tire rack. Recommended tire size is 255/35/19 but if you go 245/40/19 you will get softer ride on bumps
