It is not just about the offset, what if his wheels are 9.5" wide vs 8"!!! MY old 19 X 8.5 Et35 BBS fit different than my current RS4DTMs 18 X8 ET35
You need to compare all specs to judge fitment and look... even tires will impact the look. yes, if all other specs are equal, ET 35 rims will be more out than the ET45s.

so those black rims were 18x8 ET35, and the Silver were 19x18.5 ET35 BBS's?

And your car is just the sport package, same as mine? No additional lowering? What size tires are those black rims running?

Pardon my ignorance, but "FSD's"?
is your RS6 spoiler a bolt-on type? Where'd you get it? And the door blades?
They all look great!

FSD s are Koni Shocks, Frequency Selective Damping.
Most shock absorbers are designed to offer a firmer ride OR to maximize ride comfort. And complete computerized systems can deliver both comfort and performance, but at too high a price for the average consumer's vehicle.

The KONI FSD (Frequency Selective Damping) shock combines excellent road holding and handing characteristics with no-compromise comfort levels. It's a two-in-one solution from KONI that doesn't require the installation of sophisticated electronics, cables or sensors. Firmness for sporty driving on even road surfaces. Smoothness for a comfortable ride on uneven road surfaces.

It's possible via KONI's patented Frequency Selective Damping technology - technology that actively controls the damping level on the basis of the vehicle's body and suspension movement frequency. FSD shocks are a smart suspension system that adjusts automatically and in a fraction of a second to road conditions and driving style.

How It Works


In standard shock absorbers the main damping characteristic is defined by the oil flow going through the piston assembly (1).

Combining it with the FSD feature (2), KONI added a special valve that controls an oil flow parallel to the one going through the piston rod (3). This parallel oil flow is closed by the FSD feature, giving a rise in damping force almost linear to the time that the piston is moving in one direction



Put simply: the FSD feature is a hydraulic amplifier that delays the build up of pressure. In some ways an extra tuning option has been created in order to get the best possible combination of handling and comfort.
Since it is an integrated part of the hydraulic valve system inside the damper, no additional cables, sensors or any other electronic devices are needed to operate an FSD damper. Read more in Dynamic Dampers.


Benefits:

Excellent road holding and handing
Improved grip
Great stability
Optimum comfort level
Excellent body control
Added comfort for low profile tire applications
Maximized driving pleasure
No electronics, sensors or other components needed
Economical, effective solution


RS6 spoiler is not bolted on but they use a special adhesive. Exactly like the stock RS6 rear lip spoiler, got from GMP for $395 painted/installed
Door Baldes are S6 blades, someone got for me fomr Audi dealer at cost. ECS tuning sells them too. They install quickly with 2 screws per blade.
