do you guys think these wheels would look good on a B5?

Would the sport B6 wheels or ultrasport B6 wheels be better than these?

Probably look ok. Usually OEM rims from different yearslook good on any Audi.

How much would you be spending on them? Depending on the price I think there are a lot of better options out there! Have you considered S4 wheels? Just an idea. . .

The only OEM wheels worth 'upgrading' to are RS4's, if you ask me.
I once wanted S4 wheels but am so happy I didn't go that route. Realistically, other than the fact that they come off of a sweet car, S4 wheels are kind of ugly.
B5 or B7 RS4 wheels are nice, though!
EDIT: ultrasport wheels = B5 RS4 wheels in 18".
Those are what you want, if you want to keep an OEM look.

I like the S4 wheels personally, but just an opinion of course!

Let's not be ridiculous however, of course the RS4 wheels make them look like 1994stock 14" honda civic hub caps haha

headshok: i could have sworn you had black wheels w/ chrome lip. . . your avatar looks like polished aluminum however!?

what are you riding on currently?

My point about the S4's was that you can get B5 Celebrations (2001 17" RS4's) for about the same price as S4's... and they look better. Same goes for 18" B6 S4's and B6 Ultrasport "RS4's". Whether you want 17's or 18's... the price difference between a B5 or B6 S4 style and a B5 or B6 RS4 style is negligable... so RS4 ftw.

I've never had black wheels, and I never will! Ahhh!
My avatar is showcasing my iForged Aeros (now for sale), my sig is a couple years old when I used to run steelies in the winter, and currently I'm on my Work VS-XX's.
In the order mentioned... Wait I don't have a pic with the steels. :P So basically, last summer vs. this summer.

Yeah the iForged were staggered lips, but they were 8" all around. The new ones are real staggered, with a 255 tire in the rear.

I run 17" RS4's in the winter now, the car looks pretty good with them... but I do miss the Nokian winter tires I used to use when I ran with steelies. Those things were crazy!

Whoa, this thread went off topic. *cough*

what size tire do you run in the front??

yeah it sure got off topic quick, my bad!

Back on topic: I hadn't realized what you can get for the same price, if true, i'd go with ultrasport RS4's
