Default What do you guys think of these WHEELS for my a4?

Came across these WHEELS. How do you think they would look on my BLACK 99.5 A4? Do you think black WHEELS on a black car will look good? I really like the design of them. Seem to be a pretty good price too.

BTW, my car isn't lowered yet, so it would probably look pretty stupid if I put these on right now. How much would it cost to get my car lowered? Thanks guys!

They will look Sweet but......thats REALLY spendy for a used set of wheels with basically no tires you can get these exact same wheels from discount tire and only spend $600 for just the wheels NEW - Pays to look around - make them aware of this and lowball them 350 max I would say - or say 550 with new tires

Good luck - post some picks when your done

Ok sweet I think they will look great too. But is turbo kraut right, will they look fine without lowering my car? BTW, I don't have the sport package.

Hey I'm up in Fargo, I know this year hasn't been anything for snow but think about goin threw a snow drift next year, would you rather have more or less clearance? - I have 17's on my can and I'm not lowering it. You can always buy'm and make a decision later as to the lowering. or if you have some $$ go Coilovers and make up your own mind how low you wanna go.

I don't want to drive through a snow drift or anything. I just want them to look good.

I think you're right about lowering it with those rims. Don't get me wrong, it would sit nicely as-is but getting rid of the wheel-well gap will toughen it up immensely
