I don't really like them.

^ I like your rims, where did you get them?

I think it could be pulled off but it would need pretty much work. I do not like the mixture of that color and that wheel.
Those pictures are stolen off ebay, and i have seen that exact listing locally where I live in PA. So I wouldn't even doubt it's fake.

Take those wheels and grind the sides of them smooth (where they flare out slightly like a tooth of sorts), then touch up the paint and they'd be decent. With that Viking sword shape to the spokes though they look dumb.

ya gothya.... but 701 area code is fargos area code. he is just using that pic im sure. but ya dont think they would be good match on an audi

ImTheDevil Nov 3, 2008 05:08 PM

With the spoke shape they're goofy - I am not sure they'd look right on anything but Mad Max's ride. There's just something not quite "right" about them.

i found them on my local craigslist. the lug holes were smaller than the audis so i had a machine shop bore them out a little. older merc wheels come with a 12mm lug audi is 14mm.
