Default What wheels?

Hi guys,
I recently purchased a Silver 2007 A4, and now am looking to upgrade the wheels while also dropping the car. Problem is I have no idea which wheels and color to go for.

Ill try to get some pictures put up later, however, I was just looking for suggestions and reccomendations.

Thanks for the help,

-C

black with polished lip wouldnt look bad coilovers are best for dropping car but u can also go the cheaper route with springs and shocks. coils average 900 on up and springs and shocks run anywhere from 400 if u know where to get em to 800 and up depending on brands. 19's are about the biggest u can go without rubbing and plus if u plan on dropping u might run 19's if u dont want to be all crazy but alot of people run 19's with a 1.5 drop and it sits perfect. Cheers!

I agree. 19's is the biggest you can go without making expensive modifications. I just ordered TSW Nardo (non-staggered). It should look really good. I hope it comes in by Friday so that I can get it installed by Saturday. 1.5" drop is also safe and Eibach or H&R springs are good. Eibach has 1.2" drop and the H&R has 1.5" drop. I went with the H&R springs. I'm also getting 35% tint (staying legal) and don't want to mess with the hassle with inspection. I'm in North Carolina.

I will post pictures once it is ready. Good luck with your mods. Just don't copy me!

Emma, not to bash on you but can you speak proper English? There are so much shorthand in your comment that I am lost as to what you are saying. In order for me to understand, I actually have to say the words out loud so that I can hear it.
