Mmmm, the wheels that are in the first picture are currently on a delivery truck on the way to my house.

And I think every copy cat rice burner paints their rims black. I don't want my car to look ghetto or like a rice rocket. It's an Audi, I'm trying to keep it looking sophisticated and business looking. It's gotta have class.

Fact: 20's on an Audi not only look nasty, it also will make the Audi ride nasty. I test drove one with 20's, horrendous.(sp.?)

Agreed. Why not go somewhere in the middle? I think 20" Chromes are one extreme, where as 14" spraypainted steelies are the other. I'm leaning towards some nice 18"s

I currently have 17" on my car and they are just ehh, I'll be happy when my 18" arrive. On the other hand, my brother has larger tires on his 16" and they look awesome

19" are IMO look too big, and 20" are redonkulous

Those are 18s in my sig. Looked better after I lowered it. 17s look stock as if it shouldve come that way. 18s look just right.
