OEM. The other looks like it would be fashionable for a season, then dated.

That's Quattrings' car. Are you buying his wheels?

I like them both.

yep...

saw 22 vossens in person on A7.... too big for car.... wheel too thin... looks retarded....hit a pothole and you are toast...

need balance between function and aesthetic.

the 5 spoke cv3 are much sportier than the oem 20s.


i was thinking of chroming the cv3s as i believe this could look good on the silver a7 as it accents the chrome trim....


i was also thinking of chroming the fin in the black air intake.... would be similar to the S7

could offset the chromed vossens...

not sure if there are seasons for rims?


specifically the CV3's have a timeless symmetry that will not get dated for quite some time.

would be interesting to look at it a different way if people thought the vossens were OEM and the OEM aftermarket... which would they choose?

Audi does not give you any 5 or 7 spoke options in 20 in the US... the ten spoke are much less sporty...

5 spoke makes the A7 look more like a race car.

here are chromed CV3's

some would have issue with this... but i have a suspicion they would look fantastic on the silver A7.

Thoughts?

OEM's rock much better. In my opinion (only opinion) the OEM's make the car look muck better in this case.
