So I am selling my 19" BBS RSGTs and 17" BBS RC AND am searching for the impossible... 18's for better ride than my 19's and more tirewall for protection on our nasty streets... and they should be on the cheaper side and strong !!! I am looking at BBS CH's I might be bale to get for 1600 set, which is the most I would pay for rims... but they have no lip. I think a lip helps our car's appearance
RH AO Phoenix, probably 900-1000$ for the set
RH Vesuv, prob 900-1000$
Oettinger RE ???? ow much, 1600 for the set?
BUT I also saw these that I like very much... However I have found very little info on the company. What do you know of the brand and these specific wheels? I like those rims and they seem to be CHEAP! Also their fitement tool say the won't fit my car but I think i is BS... Check info at link below http://www.1010tires.com/wheel.asp?wheelbrand=ADR&wheelmodel=M%2DSport+%2D+Hyper+Black
ALL in 18 X 8.5 probably ET35 What's your opinion on ADR? but also
your top choice among all the above, considering my car's look and size. Thanks
I will go with BBS, as the quality is the best, and also they were offered by Audi in 2003 as an option. RH AO Phoenix, however, will be pain in the a** to clean the brake dust on the riveted sides.

You don't want cheap rims. Those BBS are amazing looking! look very similar to my OEM wheels on my '03 A6!
Of course, mine are only 17s. The wife won't let me upgrade since I sold my old car shortly after putting the nicer wheels on it and she feels that I "lost money" by doing it.

Like the RH Vesuv too,l the design of the wheel makes it look bigger like a 19 and would keep better proportions. They also can be done in Anthracite, which would look even better thna in silver.. Just wished they had a lip... They make them in 2pice with liop but price is 2X that:( ONLY concern with the vesuv is that the center part is small, leaving lots of open space and in the rear the SMALL rotor might look stupid :)
checked their web site, found the applications for my car, still like the 42 M best. I just wish I knew more about the brand and wheels, or some of you (had) owned them and could share feedback and experiences
AND I have always liked these... but I heard bad stuff about Axxis wheels, form a quality standpoint? What do you guys think of this wheel and AXXIS? This one has the maxxi lip for staggered look 18x8 size offset 30 and 38 available... price is low 300's/wheel..
A stunning new design from Axis that continues the success of the "Maxis Lip", the Axis Decade brings the staggered look of cars that can't accept a staggered fitment. An almost 2 inch lip in the front is paired with an almost 3 1/4" lip in the rear for an awesome staggered look on many cars. Available exclusively in an 18 diameter, the Axis Decade is sure to be an instant classic. The Decade comes in a Hyper Silver finish with a stainless polished lip that is just as lusterous as chrome without being as fragile. The Axis Decade is available in four and five lug applications.
I actually liked the Oettinger the least!! Look a lot like stock wheels!!! Why pay that much for boring wheels!?!?! Still think the ADR wheels are the nicest!!! Real sporty looking!!
Thanks guys for the opinions. From a look standpoint, the Oettinger and ADR's are my top 2. Price is favor of the ADR's but I was also told by a local shop to pass on ADR for quality reasons compared to European manufacturers especially. I think the Oettinger has a neat look, less busy than ADR and I also ahve two sets of mesh currently, so a different look pattern like the RE or Decades would be nice too. Got quoted 1950 for the REs wihtout tires, which is more than I wanted to spend.. but do have two potential buyers for my RSGT's and 1 for my RC's, so if I sell both well, I could spend the $ on the RE's...
By the way, now i need tires too!!!! I think I am going for the new ultra high perf summer Vredestein tires. People with Porsches and BImmers rave about their quality, handling, price combo and won't get any other brands.
I saw your link, I like them they are 289 or 1156 plus tax/shipping which is fine! Wonder if I cna finds pics of them on cars.. But they don't ahe 4 in stock it seems only 2 are availale. :(
