I've been looking through the post, and I have not really found the answer to my question yet. I am currently purchasing stuff for m A4 which will be coming next week. I prefer to have all m stuff sitting in the garage waiting . I currently have E-Codes, HID Kit, PhatNoise. Anyways, I need wheels. I am thinking of buying 17's just becase I live in Pittsburgh where there is pot holes everywhere, plus the snow sucks. I have currently narrowed it down to about 3 choices, pictured below. Now I really do think the 18" Wasp (Third Wheel) will look good on my car since it is black, and the package is about the same price. But I am worried about this issue of lowering the car and keeping the stock suspension. So if I already have the stock sport suspention, will it hurt to add Eibach Lowering Springs? Or do I have to change everything? Also give me some opinions on what wheels you like. Thanks


These are some 17" chrome replicas from OEWheels


These are 17 Flik Justices from Edge Racing


These are 18" Flik Wasp From Edge Racing

 

out of those three i'd go with the second ones. i like black rims on dark cars, but that outer chrome ring on the third ones KILLS it. so does the beadlock design on the those, i don't think it goes with the whole audi look. dark rims would definitely look good on your car though.

 

I completely forget these 17" BSA's were also in the running

 

please no chrome, it makes baby jesus cry.

 

You can't go wrong with black with chrome... just not that company- try checking out ADR if possible (little bit more money but better quality)!

 

So what about this Lowering Spring issue? Since I have the Sports package, can I just add the lowering Springs to my stock setup? It seems like everyone has a different opinion on this matter when adding it to the Sports package.

 

i am a 5 spoke lover but..... something about those bsa's isnt doin it for me


i say the flik's

 

ha, well I disagree. Chrom wheels on a German car is aweful.

Hecareth, you are not going to want to mix stock and aftermarket suspension. In 6 months your shocks will be worthless, and you'll be stuck replacing them and getting a second alignment.

 

Yes, I agree with Jest on this one. NO CHROME. Looks tooo trashy, honestly. I picture chrome on old maxima's and old Honda's, you guys know what I am talking about? Dont get the chrome. But its your car, do as you please. That was just my opinion

 

no chrome plz
