Default Tire Rack (3), UPS (1)

Yes I got my new 18" BBS RC rims today and guess what? One of them was damaged during shipping. This stinks. No problem though Tire Rack is sending out a replacement a.s.a.p. and will pick up the bad one. Car sure looks funny on one side though with one BBS RC and one stock rim. Well as the saying goes, **** Happens!

I don't think you should not be driving the car that way if that BBS is an 18.

I think Marshall is right, Audi is pretty clear about not driving the car with any mismatched tires, much less wheels. You'll beat the hell out of the transmission if all four tire circumfrences aren't within very tight tolerances of each other.

Wheels don't matter, rolling diameter does.
