Default New Wheels

Finally saved my pennies long enough to make the 15s my winter set. The new ones are 17x7 Enkei J10 wheels with 215/45-17 Kumho Ecsta ASX tires. Let me know what you think.

More pictures found here, by the way: https://www.audiforums.com/m_830947/tm.htm

do the CC mod man. or you can wait till i do mine and see how you like it on our body color. i'd paint the spoke part of the wheels the same as the body color or black. is the lip polished? i like your grille though. overall, it's rly nice, great job man. keep it up haha

looks great!

since they are your summer set, I figured they'd be a bit wider than the stockers...

A combination of budget and potholes.

I really like the gunmetal look of the wheels, so it's very unlikely that I'll be painting them. And yes, the lip is polished.

I'll wait to see how the CC mod looks on your car before I do it. I always forget that our cars are the same color because the picture in your signature makes it look silver.

Thanks for the comment about the grille, by the way. I love the look of the OEM S4 grille.

Ehh, I'm not too worried - spacers will come.

hiwords- I agree with kolbs either I'm kinda colorblind or your car does have a silver tint due to the exposure in your sig.



Kolbs, again like the wheels, what type of springs do you have again?
