Default Wheels for winter, help me choose!
My car is still on order but being so excited i am already starting to buy stuff for it as well as doing relevant research.

Was looking at some reps for winter wheels, and down to these two. Both 18" any thoughts on how they would look on the S4? Anyone has them on the car?

Both look good, I'd go with the top set. If you're looking for a deal, there was a set of VMR's on boston craigslist for $1100 with tires.

I like the first photo. Potato peelers seem accurate for the second photo.

Love these and they were on sale as well! Talk to Matt at VMR he will set you up.

Cheers,

I got a set of inexpensive Elbrus rims and Pirelli SottoZero tires from TireRack. I like the rims, but don't like the center cap.

Unfortunately, I haven't seen anything resembling deep snow yet, so I don't know how well they'll do.
