I purchased a brand new set of Audi RS4 style 22" wheels with tyres in gunmetal grey from a company off Ebay. Not genuine Audi (would have cost £8000) but fantastic looking wheels and hasnt effected ride comfort al all. Delivered with Audi centercaps and new wheel nuts for £1100.

Deals are out there, you just have to look for them!!

Where is it all going to end , some won't be happy until we're all riding around on heavy as **** 24" wheels .

There is a trade off because of increased unsprung weight etc , ride quality , handling and mpg will all suffer the bigger you go .

No need for spacers etc.. they bolted on straight out of the box... Check with the seller they are compatible with your vehicle first.

Sure mpg and ride comfort may be effected slightly by upsizing your wheels with the extra weight etc.. but in my humble opinion it was well worth it... they make such a difference!!
