love the rims man.....i may put those on my USP this spring. I noticed you went with the 19's, are you lowered as well or no? Did you have to do anything special to make them fit? I was thinking about just going with the 18's on mine, as that is what I am running now (stock wheels).....seeing I have brand new tires. Any idea if the 18 x 8 wheel will clear a BBK?

Thanks. I am lowered on Vogtland Coilovers. I am at about 25.6" rear and 25.5" front ground to center of top wheel well. I run 245/35 for a little more protection. I clear 332 Stoptechs and 355 Stoptechs. I had 355's but they are hard to find track wheels for, so I sold them and went with 332's. I run VMR version 1, and those require 8mm spacers to clear. Their current version 2 requires no spacers. But again, I don't track these wheels so I don't worry about running spacers. I'm at total offset of et34 with these wheels. I have no rubbing with Vogtlands and H-Sport S4 sways. I did cut out a few inches of rear carpet liner and the plastic tab and screw at top center of front wheel well. Without doing that, I did get some rub of those points in extreme cornering. I don't know if 18's clear, but IIRC, VMR claims all their wheels clear most common BBK sizes.

Okay I don't want to sound like a noob even though I am but I have a 2003 audi A4 with nothing done to it. I bought it last January and I've barely fixed everything wrong with it to where it runs perfect now. I changed out the gearbox because Reverse wasn't catching, then I changed out each coil individually until I got to the fourth one and found out that the gasket was leaking oil into the coils and that is why they were going out. So I replaced the fourth coil and put in a new gasket, then I found out that my battery was no good and it was resetting my anti-theft system which is why my car was turning off, but now I've gotten to the point where I can start focusing on upgrading. Since you guys are so good at this I want to ask other Audi fans what you think about my thoughts, the first thing I want to do is upgrade my rims and tires, any suggestions??
Hey man whats up I saw your video on youtube and wow u have a keeper man and I am in lovewith those rims. I was wondering what you did to your car to make it sound like that because I have been looking everywhere to find and exhaust or just a car in general that sounds really nice. I mean is the sound of your car better in person? If you could reply through email that will be great I'll really appreciate it Email- rohails33@gmail.com
just bought my first Audi, an 2004 Dolphin Ultrasport 1.8T. You know you're in love with a car when you wake up in the middle of the night to look out the window at her...
Wsup B6ers! Just got my 1st B6 last March and I am looking for ideas on a budget since i spent my last to get this car. does anyone know where I can get rims at a good price? Im looking to go with Silver 18"s with a chome lip. Some people have been saying I should go with black to match my car but I think that trend will soon fade out. What u think?

Seeing as how I work nights at a hospital, it would have to be a weekend thing planned carefully, but I'm in the Rutland, VT area and if anyone wants to meet up somewhere.
What do you do for cookouts? Rent public places? I have a small back yard and really have no room, but thers a couple parks (smallish) nearby.
Thoughts anyone? I'm willing to travel saturday-monday..
I don't know what the hell the focal point of it all is, but, im drunk so i guess i won't anyway. i love the f-ing pick up in my b6 tho, its rocks v6's all the time. yeah babuy//...
i say go with what ever your color youre side skirts and bumpers are. (black-on-blk... poly-off/gray-on-machined brushed..) It'll look classy and aggressive, minus the unwanted ghetto bling from chrome,... unless your your audi is white then chrome would b the best look..that's just my thoughts.
Hello, I''m new to the audi world and proud owner of a b6 A4. I love this car! Smooth ride, beautiful interior, clean lines. Not the fastest car out there but I didnt get her to do 10 sec qtr miles.THE GAS MILEAGE is outstanding! Shes my daily driver but she looks and drives so good I want to garage her and use her for the weekends instead..lol. My friends that have audi''s say thats such a typical audi newbie reaction. I dont even want to modify her one bit (well maybe rims..BBS or HRE?), no lowering, no crazy tuner body kit, no gigantic turbo. The pickup on this car is so smooth and elegant and the lines on this car are clean already, very bauhaus. A family member that has a beautiful M3 told me once I go euro/german car, I''ll never want a japanese car again..he''s right so far! Man I love my B6 A4!
