I'm looking to buy some A8 rims for my 01 A6 but i'm not exactly sure that.....

1. They would fit
2. Would they fu%$ up the transmission (I'm lookin to get the 19" ones)
3. And where exactly would I buy these rims for cheap?
4. If I bought the replica's, what is different between the replica and the actual factory rim?

I asked the dealer when I bought the car how much those rims cost, and he told me they run for 1500 a rim. Now I'm not that kind of baller....so thats pretty expensive.
Any info of any kind would help....i appreciate it guys.

Why not just get some other after-market rims and have your A6 look different from everybody elses.I paid $405 on Ebay for these rims (double click on pic to enlarge)

This is gonna make me wanna get the rims before the winter even starts!! I'm planning on buying them in a few months right before spring rolls around...but damn, now I want to buy em now and have em shipped next day!

But anyways, thanks Jest for the link! You da man, once again...
