Default new rims for my a4...

Ive got a b5 platform a4 with the standard quattro wheels, and whilst I think they're not bad a factory standard wheels, I want bigger sexyer wheels. Does anyone know of other cars, audi or otherwise, that have the same fittment and pcd as the a4, as knowing this could save me a packet by purchasing some rims second hand.

Should I say away from rs4 rims? Ive heard they're really good a buckling.

Cheers boys (and girls!).[8D]

The OEM RS4 wheels are soft, but the aftermarket replica ones are very strong and durable. A classic wheel that keeps the factory look, but still look great.

I totally agree, RS4 rims look good, but dont give you that "boy racer" look. Thanks for the link turbo, but Im in the UK, so shipping costs could be a bit hefty. Can anyone tell me if TT wheels and A6 wheels fit on my A4?

Jest...how do i find good replica RS4 "REPLICA" rims. I want the same ones as above, but like you said replicas are better. Do the rims attached above have a MODEL # or something? or what they are called?

thanks...i will consider them...some are a bit $$$$ but i will consider it. Also Jest...you were talking about exhausts a while ago. I think I need to change my exhaust system on my car, some noise and some very subtle vibration in cabin is noticed.

I have to change a rear wheel bearing ( I know that that could be a cause for cabin vibration ), but sometimes I think i can "taste" / feel exhaust fumes, but when I get out the car to check I dont notice the smell, only while i am in the cabin.
I dont see any holes/leaks in the exhaust system, but I think I need to change it. I was wondering, do Cat - Convertors also come with Exhaust systems? And also you were talking about "CAT BACK" exhaust systems. What are they and how are they different? (Sorry if you have answered this Q already on some other thread)

I was checking them out on EBAY and some range from $530 ( which is not bad ) compared to $900 from lltek.com. I actually dont know which ones would be recommended/prefered for my 99 2.8 Q (tiptronic) if you or anyone else could point me to a place where the $$$ is good and the Exhaust system is also good...ALSO PLEASE NOTE ---> I hate exhaust systems that make noise or that are loud, I would prefer them to have a STOCK noise (basically nothing) thanks...
