Default Please post photos of your B5 with newer A4 wheels

Hi all,
I just spent a little bit of time searching and didn't come up with too much. I just bought a hibiscus red B5 1.8T quattro for my winter car but hate the small stock wheels on it. I'm looking to upgrade my wheel/tire combo on the cheap so I'm looking for hand-me-downs from newer A4s who have upgraded from their 17" wheels. Would anyone care to post pics of their B5s which have newer A4 wheels on them?

These are off a B6, 17". Might even be your color....

Don't see a badge on the back of that bshusted. You looking for a 4.2 badge or just going stealth?

Thanks! Those are actually one of the versions I'm looking at putting on my car. Yep, it's the same color too.

I bought a set of these wheels, but not sure how they would look on my car. I'm leaning towards what you've got.

I took off the 2.8 and A4 badges long ago. I kept the 4.2 badge from the parts car before it went to the scrapper, but I don't think I'll put it on. I prefer the sleeper status.

I found this pic online of what I think my car would look like with the wheels I got. I'm still on the fence with whether or not to put them on. Anyone else using these on a B5?

I never saw anyone with those wheels on a B5 but those would look good on my metallic silver B5

I really debated those before I went with the onesfrom the B6. I like 'em, they're just a little harder to clean. I wash my wheels abot every other day. The best looking wheels are the ones that are always bright and shiney.
