yea gunmetal on the pearl white is sick ... i priced springs on awe tuning and it was liek 750 for springs n 1250 for coils ... i thought it was gonna be much worse then that but i can deal with that

2002 a6 2.7t / GIAC / REMUS / AWE-Tuning s-flo intake / bailey's DVs / vast stage 3 tip chip /vast piggies / obx manifolds / k04's and rs4 ecu platform to come soon!
I'm not a fan of black wheels on any car, but I did have those in silver on my silver A4 and loved the look. I understand the excitement of buying new wheels but I'd reimburse my 401k.
they gonna look really hot on your car!! if you have HUGE red BREMBO caliper and SLOTTED rotors, damn ppl will prabably steal it cause it's so F***ING hot!!
very nice, wouldpick an Anthracite or gunmetal color instad of black though.
Dont have that color option available. =(
only silver or black. Ill call them and see. Im excited I just had my money deposited from my 401k!!!
Yes they are outthere, I almost got those wheels for my car after I sold my BS, b/c they were so cheap and looked good. I found them in some gunmetal like color... Looked awesome... keep searching. YOU'll be happier than with black IMO
found the colors "Quite possibly the most popular ADR wheel, this wheel is available for staggered wheel applications in 18 and 19 inch diameters with 8.5 and 9.5 inch widths. If you were having trouble finding a wheel for your 300zx, 350Z, Supra with a nice deep dish then look no futher then the ADR M-Sport. The MSport comes in HMC Silver, Hyper Black and Hyper Silver. " at www.adrwheels.ca
Hyper black is the one you want, like my RSGTs, see pics in my sig
sweet guys, thaks. Formula, those arent the exact same wheels. The ones you posted are similar to yours. I do like gunmetal, but I think I'm gonna go with the black. Just before I buy these, is a 35mm offset gonna look OK? THis is my second wheel decision in my life, and i f*cking hate it. And to whoever posted bout my 401k I plan to reimburse I need the $$$ for a move to FL. It wasnt much, about 5k. I'm a youngin still, well i dont think 25 is a youngin
EDIT: Gigi, those are ADR M-Sports, I like the M-Classic.

First off, I like the wheels and they will look great on a white A6. I have a white one too, and I wouldn't even hesitate to buy them if you are in the market for wheels and have the cash.
That being said, as to your 401(k), it is a horrible idea to spend 401(k) money on wheels. I don't care if it is "only" $1200, the point is that is $1200 less in your 401(k) and that is NOT a good investment. I know you think since you are only 25 that you don't need to save as much right now, but honestly I would reconsider and spend a little time doing the math to figure out what this is really costing you.
For instance, did you know if you kept that $1200 in your 401(k) from age 25 through age 65 earning a fairly conservative 9% interest on average you would actually end up with $41083.52? So let me ask you.....are those wheels worth $10k a piece? Because in reality, that is what they are costing you. If your 401(k) earned a little higher the results are even more disturbing....at 11% you are missing out on $86581, or at 13% you are missing out on over $180,000!
Now don't get me wrong....it is YOUR money and you should do what YOU want to do, I'm just trying to shed a little light on what it all means. We all have things we want, and maybe you are already putting away 20% on your salary into retirement and don't really have any concerns - or maybe your grandparents have a trust fund set up for you.....hey - if either is the case then congrats and pay not attention to anything I say. :)
I just don't want people to get ideas that borrowing from your 401(k) is the best choice. I personally believe it should only be used when someone loses a job, has medical expenses etc, etc and it shouldn't be used for spending cash. I know you are using the bulk of it to move, but that begs the question why you don't have any savings for such expenses and why you need to dig into retirement funds? Sorry....starting to preach and sound like Dave Ramsey, but financial matters get me going.
Best of luck with whatever you decide - I have the exact same stock wheels as you and would love to replace them, but honestly I have other priorities and just can't justify it, but part of that probably stems from the fact that I'm not sure how long I will have the A6 so who really knows.
^ second. I was not gonna say anything as it is not my business but I agree.. $5k with compounded interest wull be worht a lot when yuo retire and the way things are going.... you'll need all the $ you can get :)

Thx dad, yeah it will be replenished. For now its not a big deal, everything will be fine in due time. I wouldnt have made this decision if I thought it was a big mistake. Yeah I lost a couple grand but I need the money. Not just for rims and my car, but for other purposes, mainly other reasons.
Again... 35mm Offset gonna be ok?
