Hi, I have the standard 5 spoke alloys on my car and just wondered what it would look like with different alloys on it. Anyone have pictures of there cars with different alloys to mine on them.

this is a website of a local alloy wheel shop [northern ireland] that supplied me with my wheels (19" rs6's) and they take photos of their customer cars for this exact purpose. It has a wide range of wheels including some nice amg mercedes wheels that also fit.

Personally i dont think you cant beat the rs6 wheels myself, i kid you not that some guy nearly crashed his ferrari looking at my car.

19" RS6's all the way...! I like the new RS4 wheels too but they can be a mission to clean.. no matter what you do DO NOT put A8 wheels with the chrome finish, these wheels only suit A8's.. or maybe thats jus my opinion..?

I like the RS6`s but they are very expensive (for what you get) for OEM ones, replicas are cheaper but very heavy, even the OEM ones are quite heavy due to the chunkyness, you pay a performance price with them and put more strain on your drivetrain.

I chose 19" TSW Thruxtons for mine, not very OG Audi I know but i was trying to go off a slightly different direction. they are big, strong, light and reasonably priced.

If you want a more Euro Look my second choice for wheels was going to be DOTZ roadsters which will be a bitch to keep clean but will look pretty good on any colour A4 I think.

some 19" BBS RS GT Split rim wheels woudl work well I think, and they are very good and very light, but like OEM ones they are also very expensive.

I just picked my car up on Saturday - it's got 19" alloys but I'm not sure what make. Actually, having looked up the price of the 235/35ZR19 tyres that are on it I'm thinking of swapping these for some 17" Audi ones. Any thoughts?

Ive got a set of OEM 17" audi alloys, 3 are in good condition 1 has a fairly bad scuff, this can be repaired for about £40-50 , all 4 have 3/4 tread Goodyer Eagle F1 tyres.

I might be interested in selling them, or maybe even swapping, how are the tyres on yoru 19`s now ?

2 new tyres and 2 almost gone. So, if I was going to change I'd probably do it soon. Still uncertain though - the 19"s are really growing on me. Also, I have found a local garage which will fit "Nexen 3000" 235/35R19Y tyres for ~£100 each which seems pretty reaosnable. Anyone used/heard of this brand?

I like your wheels, they do grow on you on the A4 I think.


On my 19`s I fit Goodyear Eagle F1 235/40/19 @ £550 a set inc VAt etc, its a good price i think for such good tyres on 19`s
