Have to say I don't like them at all, much prefer the OEM wheels, as shown by another gratuitous shot of my car on the Euro 20" OEMs , I also think the colour of the car makes a big difference on the look of the wheels. Already have my eyes on a Phantom S7 and the only thing I would change on my next car would be to try and get the titanium coloured version of the same Euro 20" wheels.

Personally I don't care for the tri-spoke "flower" wheels, they are curved and are more convex (volcano-ish), but to each his own. There's no comparison IMO. Visuals aside, there are performance considerations that are even more important. I weighed the CV3 at about 28lbs and the stocker is about 5 lbs heavier with the thicker 35 series in play. Unneeded unsprung weight, worse performance, worse efficiency, enough said.

I pulled up next to my 1st A7 down @ Va Beach yesterday... Only other I've seen on the road. It was a P.Plus w/ the 20" sport pckge - Needless to say, it was boring (IMVHO). He was an older gentleman, and he couldn't stop raving about how much more sportier mine looked - And asking me what did I have done.

Interesting look. I like the polished. On the fence with the blackout. I think silver and chrome looks more like an imperial starship. ; )

PRETEND THE OEMs ARE NOT AUDI.
I'm not a fan of the OEM Euro 5 spoke. That said, between these two choices, the OEM Euro 5 spoke better compliments the look of the A7. I've seen the CV3 style wheel on a VW Passat B5.5 show car and they look great, but the CV3 for some reason looks odd ball on A7.

My two pieces of the copper.

In my opinion, the non-prestige or non-S-line A7 don't have the lines for any aftermarket wheels. The RS5 wheels don't look good on that A7.


The 20" five spoke OEM was my first choice. Unfortunately, last year at this time it was not available.

Here is the look I am going for. : )

If I had the s7 polished mirrors. Polished or chrome cv5. And chromed front intake fin. It gets close.
