I like the wheels, I think it'd look better on a white car though.. Just my opinion though.

little story of stretched tires

what is stretch?
- "stretch" refers to stretching a narrower tire over a wider wheel, the sidewalls stretch from the lip to the tread
why do stretched tires?

- well the whole thing started in germany/belgium, local laws required that the tire tread be within the fender line. well that doesnt allow one to run wider or lower offset wheels, so they put narrower tires on the wheel to maintain legality- when you would like to run really wide or low offset wheels and keep the tire tread at the fender- when you would like to go really low and not rub
isnt this unsafe?
- there hasnt been any soild evidence that running a stretched tire is any more dangerous than a regular tire.
where can i get tires stretched?
-any reputable wheel/tire shop should be able to do it. i know when i did a 215-45 kumho on a 8.5" wheel, it took one shop 90lbs to pop the bead. getting a 225-45 on a 9 and a 245-40 on a 10.5 took another shop 50 lbscan't you afford the right tire size?
- the tire that stretch the most tend to be at the top of the price list, so it isnt an issue
what tires stretch best?

- from what i have seen, the best tires with regards to stretch are:
toyo t1-s
dunlop sp9000
dunlop sp8080e
falken fk451im sure there are more, but look for a tire with a rounded shoulder and a lip protector, they tend to give the "desirable" look

ORIGINAL: Amze

I like the wheels... but


Did the Dealer run out of all the good car colors? Or whats the deal


green
No, the dealer sold like a zillion silver audis, and there are a lucky few that have this rarer green color. if you see it in person, it looks verynice. I see like 4-5 silver audi's per day.

18valves, your wheels look hot as hell, I love the black with the green, noice choice.
