Anyone have thoughts on these?

Seem like a good deal, and is one of the styles that I am interested in. Im searching for pics of B6's with these wheels.

Thoughts?

PS. will they fit? I think 8.5 with a 35mm offset will be alright?

Why would you say that? 19's too big? For a B6?

I know the roads blow around herethough.

i just don't want that big......... and yes partially cause the roads blow..... even 18's almost have to little of a side wall for these roads...... to be able to stay "stock"


if you get too big of a tire, your spedo will be off alot........ then you have to pay to get it calibrated for those wheels, then when you put on your winter wheels...... what pay again every yr?


i would get some 18's and call it a day

Good advice ^. I guess I'll just keep an eye out and if these go down in $$ maybe I will just have to bite. Although 19" tires are expensive as a ****. And I dont want my car to look like its jacked up. Lowering springs here I come!

It also looks like I can get them on ebay for the same price - maybe its not as good a deal as I think.

Now im looking at 18's on B6's. Wheel shopping is quite the process!

no sh*t.........i looked for my avus' forever....... i was going to buy cheap($'s not quality) flix........ just to get me something bigger..... then i found these

now i am keeping an eye open for wheels as well........ 18's maybe rs' depends on what i find when i find them........ main reason i want rs' is cause there is a set in my garage, and we got black on one and it looks like sex

Yeah, I think deep down, while perhaps played out, the B7 RS4 wheel has a soft spot in my heart. Time to start saving I suppose. Or cruise the classifieds, good deals on there sometimes.

^^ Agreed. RS = sex.

Sometimes i wish i had gotten 19's, they just fill the wheel gaps better, but if your planning on springs, then whats the point right. But you guys are right, the roads here are no good. Its not worth wreckin a wheel... If it werent for the bad roads, ide say 19's would look great on a B6, as its a little bigger body than the B5. It would match better imo, esp. with black on black with the chrome lip!
