Default Anyone have BBS RC wheels on their RS6?
I've always loved these wheels, but could never find them in an 18in size for Audi's. Anyone know if they exist?

Thanks!

I think 18x8 is the widest they were made. They are cast not forged. Go with Forged BBS for the RS6.

Default BBS RGR, but will require spacers i think to pass over your brakes/ fill the fenders
they dont fit around hp2's, and the rs6 brembos might not either..

Default BBS CH
Just bought a set of BBS CH 19s which I will put on next week. If you need to know if they will fit call tire rack or BSS they will be able to tell you.

Default BBS RC are cast wheels, Optional on some VW's in 18x7.5. I have a set on my TT.
I would say they aren't good enough for our RS6's as they are heavy cars and if you push them hard or hit a sizeable bump the RC would very likely bend or break. They are fairly light for a cast wheel though. The forged BBS wheels (RS-GT, RGR, LM's) are a little bit lighter but a lot stronger, good for a heavy car.

Just checked the BBS Catalog only lists RS-GT and 2x LM fitments for the RS6.
