Nick,

Are those 18's or 19's? Lowered?

I'm really going for this as an end result, I know its lowered but not sure if there 18's or 19's

I'll tag along here since I've posted a question in wheels and tires and no one responded. I have a 1998 quattro a4, COMPLETELY STOCK!!!I want to go 17 or 18s, but DONT want to lower it cuz I live at 10,600 feet in colorado ski country (it snows here in JULY AND September sometimes!!!), so don't want to lower it...would 17s or 18s look COOLER!!! I'm not a TIRE guy, just a humble mechanic....

Thanks brotha...that's what I thought when I measured...it goes up .5 inches, depending on tire all the way around, so yea, 18s would look funny....so, I'll just get some 16s (stock on mine) that look good...thanks.

airplane stripper/ lol or brake fluid is pretty good at ruining finishes you can paint them any color will just take a hell of sanding

not my car just giving ideas but that laser red s5 is pretty low so i cant say since i dont know any info on it sorry
