Ok. Can you fill in a couple more blanks for me? 1. You said you used spacers. Are spacers required to make the wheels align right? I'm not too keen on using spacers :( 2, Also, can you check whether the wheel is a 17x7.5 or a 17x8?
Spacers ARE NOT REQUIRED, remember these are OEM wheels for the A6. I added spacers because it looked better. I found a great set, perfect fit, sieze and pretty light. It put the wheels right at the edge of the fenders. Not sure 100, but I think they are 17x7.5. I'll check tomorrow
Sorry can't do, i'd rather keep them for winter tires and track. They are very light. 400 is not even the price of one and i'D have to pay to get the tires removed
FYI, I ended up buying AUDI 17" INCH OEM WHEELS RIMS off a 2004 Audi A4 Avant for my 2000 A6 2.7T. Just put them on today, seems all good. Nice looking 6 spoke wheels, cost me $650 plus shipping, but they had summer tires with some tread left already on them, so not a bad deal.
If you're looking for a good price on rims try looking at edgeracing.com...they have amazing bundles starting from around 600 bucks for 17's with tires (falkens) or any other choice you may have..Flik has an offer going on a pair called the Lex's and they start at 99 a wheel...

I have a 2001 a6 2.7t and am running Konig Blatant 18x8's wheels with Pirelli p zero nero 255-40-r18.
I originally bought k&r spacers (5mm ?) as the blatants are not listed as compatible w/ the 2.7t. HOWEVER, with NO spacer the wheels turn freely and appear to have a few mm clearance over the stock calipers.
I love the setup, with **one caveat** : these konigs, and most other rims in the sub-$500/each category are not hub-centric (else they would have to be manufactured uniquely for the audi, lexus, bmw, etc... Without the physical center friction fit, it is impossible to consistently center the wheels - they will always be off by at least a tiny bit. I've worked around this by doing 3~4 progressive iterations of tightening the lug bolts in a star pattern, vigorously rocking the wheel by hand in between the first couple tightenings. This solves most of the problem, but there is still enough unbalance to that I experience vibration around a natural frequency; for me this harmonic occurs around 70 mph. I have been putting off machining small donut-shaped spacers to fit between the rotor center-post and the wheel but need to do so soon. after about 10k miles, my front end is making wierd crunking / grinding / rattling over bumps and potholes at low speed. I think this will turn out to be something bushing / shock related, and has probably been caused by the vibration of the off-center wheels. But I obviously can't tell absolutely.
I managed to get *all four* wheels for ~$450 from cheapwheels.com (they no longer have any and won't be getting any in - too bad as I ruined on swerving to avoid some sh1thead...). I dealt with a nice english guy named nigil there - good customer service. BTW - in shopping for a replacement rim I found 18x7.5 and 18x8.5 ... I believe I have 18x8.0 but I may be remembering incorrectly.
I paid $705 total w/ tax for the tires from Discount, but I am glad I went with good tires... I can't say enough about them. Dry hold is amazing, and on snow&ice they give grip/predictability better than any non-winter-specific tire I have ever played with. I don't have a ton of experience with low profile stuff, but non the less am impressed.
To clarify about the spacers in the post I just made:
-The 5mm K&R spacers I originally bought are horizontal, ie make move the wheels outward. -the ones I mentioned manufacturing are radial, they won't change the gross wheel position, just ensure they are ~perfectly centered.
