Hey everyone, my first mod I would like to do to the car is get a set of aftermarket wheels, my stockers gotta go when the summer sun is shining. I love the look of mesh rims and I found two sets I like HP Design Evo's and TSW Snetterton's, I'm leaning mostly towards TSW's because the HPs seem hard to find. But I need some info first, whats the largest size I can get without rubbing? 19s? Width 8.5? Offset? and whats the bolt size pattern? then after all that what brand and size tires should I get? Does anyone know of a good place to get the TSW Snetterton's? I'm also torn between getting the hypersilver or chrome cuz I like to be flashy at times but chrome might be too much. After all this is done I'm getting the APR chip and R1 DV valve done at some point. thanks for the info, Dave.

The car is an 02 A4 1.8T Quattro.

 

Chrome is too "blingy," IMO. I know some people like it, but I just think hyper silver is a much classier look.

 

what color is your car?

 

Leave chrome to the sport truck scene, it looks terrible on a german car.....or any car for that matter. I live in sacramento ca, so i see them (unfortunately) everyday.

 

Yea forgot to say my car is silver, an I know what your talkin about in Cali, I spent a weekend in San Diego an I think every car had chrome rims. So I'm probably goin with hypersilver but I just need the other info.

 

i would go with hyper silver then. ONly dark colored audis or red ones look good with chrome imo.

 

I would actually say white would look ok on chrome if it wasn't ALL chrome, like maybe just the lip. Just isn't my cup of tea, plus chrome wheels are HEAVY!

 

Sorry to state that colored rims are out of the question, for a millisecond I thought about black rims but its silver or chrome. but for dimensions help me out not sure this is right:

Diameter: 19in can I fit 20in?
Width: 8in or 8 1/2?
Offset: 35 to 45?
Bolt Pattern: 5-112

 

Black rims look tacky and cheap to me. No matter what car they are on. As for size u can squeeze 20's but i wouldnt suggest it. U can go with a 8 or 8.5 in front and do a 9.5 in the rear but wont be able to do rotation. As for offset mine it currently front 28front and rear is 23. almost flush. 5-112 bolt pattern. "Hubcentric"

 

What's the largest offset I can go? 45mm? An do I have to do anything special with them being "Hubcentric"?
