Lightbulb Rim Oppinions and Questions

First of all I am driving an 03 A4 1.8T. As far as looks go I have tinted the windows and the tail lights. I am looking into buying some rims since a few of the stocks are beaten up.. I was looking into either some RS4 rims. I found those. I think If I got those I would get them in a gunmetal finish.

They are offered in 18x8.5-$174.75 and 19x8.5-$199.75.

I was also looking into some BMW M6 replicas. The RS4 reps above fit for Audi BMW and VW but would rims for a BMW fit on my car?

These are offered in many sizes. 18x8.5-$174.99 19x8.5-$219.8 20x8.5-$319.8

Any oppinions of what would look better? If the M6 reps would actually fit? and what size I should run? I have 18x8.5's on my car now but I will end up buying all new tires too.

depends on ur price range. I think the rs6 wheels are a bit overplayed. Alot of peeps have them but car is yours. I would say get sum nice 19's. Just go to a4mods and check out all the wheel options. i would go staggerd for sure though.

I think i am leaning toward the m6 rims right now because of how popular the RS4 rims are. would staggering it require a drop too? i dont know if i want to do that yet.

Staggering does not require a drop but it needs to calculations if you have Quattro.

As long as the wheels are 5X112, it should fit the car.

5X112 is our bolt pattern (at least for A4's).

center bore on our cars is hubcentric. U will need to make sure the rism u get are hubcentric cuz thats what audis are. If u dont get it then ur wheels wont sit flush. theyt also sell adaptors for that incase the wheels u want are lugcentric
