Default Pics of my new Luff M1 Wheels

Well, I decided on a new look. As you can see, simular type wheels but I've always liked the look of a BBS LM wheel. I just can't force myself to spend 4k on a set. My old wheels were ADR M Classic in 19x8.5 with 35 ET. They were about 3 and 1/2 years old and were dinged up with that age.

I was set on getting a set of the 9 spoke RS4 replicas but I just could not get past putting on a P25540ZR19 tire on an 8 inch wheel. I know its only a 1/2 inch difference but its just my hang up. I found these wheels one day and I really liked how they looked. They are 19x8.5 with ET 32. They also offer a staggered set up with a 19x10.5 ET45 for the rears. I did the math and its was so close to the rear shocks, I just decided to go with what works for sure. I also like to rotate my tires. Since the A8 is a quattro, a staggered set up would only be for looks anyway. Althought it would have looked bad *ss if it cleared.

I liked the way the wheels make the car look. It has a decent sizelip as well. Its hyper silver with machined polished lip. The whole wheel is clear coated.

Nice. Very nice. Subtle, yet tough.
