Default the td's were my top choice for a while.. but they look awfully "american muscle car" imo ... (more)

don't get me wrong .. i still like them and they do look 'beefy' but i want something more subtle .. something that blends better with the car.<p>check out these zender le mans wheels .. very european imho. maybe a tad too busy .. i really need to see them on an a4. someone wanna photoshop them onto an 99.5 1.8t volcano? <p>lltek's price:<br>17" $309.00 ea. 18" $389.00 ea<p><p>99.5 1.8tqms apr 1bar<br>-jasyn<ul><li><a href="http://www.lltek.com/lltek/Full%20Page%20tt.htm">zender wheel</a></li></ul>

Default Borbet type TDs

Its really a personal perference, but it is a very nice wheel. Have done many sets of Type Ts in 17', which are very similar. We have done testing with the TDs on our BMW 328is on the car & it has a VERY nice look on the euro type body IMHO.<p>I did find a pic of the 17" Type Ts on the A6, which should give you a pretty close idea, I think.<p>Feel free to call me with any questions.<p>Eddie <br>ext 369

Default The top car in the pic above (Will Allen's A4) convinced me to get these wheels

and they are beautiful. They are not on the car, but I look at them every night before I go to sleep! Very beautiful wheel (those pictures in the tire rack ads don't do it justice.) I will say, however, that while they look very sweet, they seem to look like 16" wheels because of the curve of the spoke, but all in all they are sweet. Take a look at some more pics of these wheels at <p>http://a4.homepage.com/<p>Raja Hamilton

Default Tire rack quoted me the type TDs for about $2100 w/avs 225s. Could you hook me up with a better deal?more

I only got about $2500 to spend and I still need to get suspension with that money (about $800). I was thinking I could go with some cheaper tires because I'm not going to be using them for race tracks or anything...even then, its still cutting it a little close. You think you could work something out here..?? thanks...
