Default What Wheels Look Good On A '99 A6 Avant?

Just today bought a '99 Santorin Blue A6 Avant (instead of the BMW Sportwagon I was looking at - my wife wanted AWD). I do not like the 16" wheels on the car, and want to put on some 17" or 18" wheels and tires. I do not plan on lowering the vehicle, by the way.<p>Any suggestions on what wheels look good on the new A6 Avant ?<p>

Default How 'bout these...

I think the OE 17" polished 5 spoke from the A8 would look great on the A6 Avant (pictured here on the A6 Avant 4.2, which apparently won't be coming to North America with its A6 4.2 sedan sibling).<br><img SRC="http://www.vwvortex.com/features/99_A6_8cyl/A68_14_med.jpg"><br>Photo from <a href="http://www.vwvortex">VW Vortex</a><p>Rob O

Default Re: Maybe I will lower the car...

After seeing your picture (Thanks, by the way), maybe I'll reconsider my decision to lower the car. How do I do this on a '99 A6 Avant Quattro?

Default Just to nitpick, but those aren't the 17" A8 wheels. They're exclusive to the new A6 4.2's.

Default You're right ... my bad. I like them much better, much more "aggressive" look.

Miglia Emotion - saw these on a laser red with a lowered suspension and the car looked GREAT. (nt)n
