i got mine installed actually with a friend (in my garage) , not that it matters who he works for but he works here in Dallas Mercedes Benz so he had all the tools and everything we needed to do it, it was about a 4 hour job , there's a lot of accessory shops in fort worth Texas where im at that will do it but they charge 300-400.00 just because its an "Audi" theres some DIY's tips that will help out alot if you are willing to try it your self bro.

thats a steal man. ive been thinking about going with a cheaper route i.e: those new wheels they are offering on ECS tuning (alzor wheels) cause there about 699.99 for some decent looking 19's but they have gotten mixed reviews cause they weigh like bricks.

I really wanted wide tires and had a hard time finding the size i wanted in 19" that could also handle the load raiting, so i went with 18's

thats probably what im going to end up going with, 19's would be nice but their maintenance is expensive, if a rim bends your looking at no less than 250 a wheel, tires are expensive and ive heard ride quality can be somewhat an issue, either ore , 18's with a proper stance/drop look really good.
