Default 19" rims

My wife has a '99 A6 avant. I wanted to replace her 16" rims with the 18" B6 s4 rims on my car and trade up to some 19" BBS RSGT rims. My concern is my ride will be substantially rougher and there are ALOT of 19" rims for sale in the classifieds. It leads me to believe the 19's bend easily. Should I keep my stock rims and get her a pair of stcok "18 s4 rims from someone on this list? Any thoughts on my concerns?

Default BBS rims are usu. pretty strong... unless you live in a pot-hole infested city...

I think you should be fine giving her your stock 18" Avus' and spoiling your s4 with some 19" BBS's. Do it!

Default RSGT's are forged, which makes them substantially stronger than a regular cast rim

this should alleviate some of your concerns. it is pretty hard to bend a forged wheel.
