DEF the second one... i like that look much better IMO. the top ones look a little to 'new' for our cars i think. they are tight as hell looking rims dont get me wrong, even on that car on top, but for me i see a little 'trying to be something im not' sorta thing.

I want the bottom ones so you get the top ones . I agree with flynnr though, I think the second set looks more at home on a B5 than the first set.

ya, go with the B5 RS4 reps (bottom)

the B7 RS4 reps look too "New" for our cars which is why they should be left to the B7's.

I love both rims very much but my car is identical to the top A4 (01 silver 2.8 - but w/o parinted lowers) and the B5 RS4 reps are WAY better looking.

Also, remember that the bottom rims will also be WAY easier to clean, which is pretty important if you live in a climate that changes each season.

As soon as the spring hits, my 2.8 will be sitting on new 18" B5 RS4 reps

I kind of agree with everyone else. I think you're choosing these wheels because you like the OEM look? The B5 RS4/B6 USP wheels fit that OEM description look.
