2000 A6 2.7T wheels rims - 4/13/2007 11:22:04 PM

I am posting this message in hopes of finding wheel solutions that others have already successfully employed on 2.7T. Although tirerack has several rims to choose from, I would rather use a solution that someone else has found satisfactory. It's a limited selection for the 2000 A6 2.7T because of the large brake calipers.

I would like to find wheels that are under $225/wheel and that I can use for dedicated summer use and that require no spacers and use the original bolts from the 16x7 wheels that came original (keeping as dedicated winter wheels). I think a 17x8 wheel would probably be ideal for me. Anyone have a success story for me?

I believe the 18" SSRs purchased by the original owner were bought at Discount Tire. They clear without any mods on my 2003. I don't know if the calipers are the same as yours. I did find that they take a different lug nut, but that was fine with me as they were able to sell me a locking set which I wanted anyway.

I went with a staggard set up with 19x9.5 rear and 19x8.5 front. With the tire set up I used they are 2/100th of a inch difference in height. So this will not effect the quattro. The tire sizes used are 275-30-19 rear and 235-35-19 front. I've got about $1500 for the tires and wheels.

as long as the tire hights are within 3% variance of each other. with the sizes i used the fronts are 25.48in tall and the rear 25.5in. almost exact. i have about 3000 miles on them with 2 road trips over 600 miles each and no problems or vibrations.

I have BBS RKs on mine 17X8. I managed to pick up a nearly perfect set on eBay (with used tires - P Zero Nero M+S) for $600 shipped. Keep your eyes peeled - they're out there.

I also had a set of the OEM B5 S4 Avus wheels in 17X8. The S4 uses the same brakes we do. They are pretty plentiful on eBay.

sweet looking wheels. I am afraid of 19" rims though b/c NJ is an orgy of potholes. Can you send the info on the rims and where to buy?

HI I have 19's but I see on your post you're looking for 17's
I have a set pf BBS RC made for Audi that are GREAT. They look good on the A6 and are light! dealer sell them for over 500 each, and tirerack for 450 I think.
If you're interested, I could sell you mine for 800 + shipping for the set due to age and scratches. Wheels are true and balance perfectly.
Currently they have winter tires on them which in would remove unless you want them, in which case price would be 1500.
Tires are new and expensive (235x35 Goodyear ultagrip3) with warranty on them. Paid $900+ for them mounted with the warranty

formulagigi,

Thanks for you response. I have 16's now that I used with winter tires this year and I'm planning to keep them as winters if I can find a reasonable price for another set of wheels for summer. The BBS wheels would be a good match for what I want., but I've been trying to keep my budget closer to 500. Are the BBS RC wheels 17x8? Can you send me the exact model number so that I can look them up? Thanks.

Mike

Have a look at these OEM BBS rims : http://www.audiforums.com/m_495459/tm.htm
I'd buy them myself but I just spent my allowance on APR stage 1 and a suspension upgrade. Wheels will come later...

They are OEM for Audi so yuo know fitment won't be an issue and I am pretty sure they are under 20 lbs. I have the caps and bolts.

I can get close, Ineed to pay to dismount the tires.
Where are you located? I need to figure out shipping too. I just shipped a set of 19 BBS CK with tires from NC to CA for 160, supplies included.
Just rims should be a bit cheaper. Give me yuor state and zip, I'll have my guy check on Price.

NJ 08534

is the image of your car in your listing showing it the wheels you are selling? If not, can you post a pic? Also I'd really like a catalogue number or something to specifically identify the wheel make.

Thanks

I don't know the catalogue #, on the spec sheet it just says BBS RC.
BBS made the wheels for Audi.
Call your dealer and ask for the # and price. I called last year to get a 5th one and it was $563 new! :(
Needless to say, I kept my doughnut! :)

yes the pics I posted above are the BBS RC's 17' on my car that I would sell. 4 rims.
