a set of deep dish wheels or regular wheels no lip. What is the opinion here? Has anyone heard of August wheels apparently they are made specific for Audis. Any help would be appreciated. I like a silver face with a nice polished lip,any other suggestions would be welcomed. TIA,
JOHN

Default Whoa. Jumping to conclusions.

I agree, it sounds like you may be right, but deep dish is nto a technical spec. If its is the right offset (no less than -35mm) and it clears, why not? Its then down to aesthetics. And we don't want to start the blondes / brunettes thing, do we?

If the question is " can I put offset -15mm rims on my car 'cuz they look cool like a '67 SS", yea that's dumb. Maybe pretty, btu dumb.

Default Are you parked in front of Rayco 4 on Hempstead turnpyke?? I think...

I went there for wheels on my passat. They wanted almost $1000 more than the internet price. If you have a connection for possibley cheaper pricing then LMK. Thanks,
JOHN
