Default The Good, The Bad, The Ugly: Wheels

Im such a tuner at heart, but Im trying my damndest not to touch this Audi. Simply, because I dont want to put any money into something that isnt going to make me money. So, Im limiting myself to wheels at least for the time being. I'm consider a few different style.

5zigen SC3000

TSW Laguna

TSW Estoril

I like the PIAA Super Rozzas, but Im not spending 500 a wheel + tire.

What color is your car?
I like the 5zigen's style on all A4's though.

Whats with the signature? Who is doubting your knowledge?

Its silver. The 5's are good looking. Im considering SSR speedsters.

As far as the sig, its not intended for you dont worry. Someone else a week back had a few illegitimate words for me.

I look at it like this:
If youre going to do a big brake upgrade then get a wheel with less spokes. If not, I think a wheel like the 5zigen looks best. Theres nothing worse than a good looking18" wheel that you can clearlysee the puny stock rotors through. It sorta ruins the wheels good looks imo. What sizes are you looking at?

18s no larger. I have 18s from my g35, but they are staggered so thats a no go. I agree you cant have large opening without upgraded brakes and rotors.

these are the hotness!

What color and type of Audi do you have? Pics would be nice. I liked three of the four with the Estoril's being my favorite. The only ones I didn't like were the 5zigen SC3000. Too much like BBS and those have been done to death. Rims are a very subjective cataogory though. I find usually a person already has one or two favorites and just wants a reality check they they aren't crazy.
