Default Who can help a brotha out?

So its summer and my stock wheels and tires are shot on my car. Driving through creeks beleive it or not, is not good on them. haha. plus the rims were beat up when i got the car. So it is time for new wheels and tires.

Problem is, not many companies make wheels that fit the allroad. i thought any that would fit the a6 avant would work but they dont. I knownothing about wheels and spacers and crap like that so i want your help.

Find some wheels for me! any suggestions? Thoughts? preferences?

Thanks all. Looking for cheap good deals too.

You should just buy a set of four of the spare steelies! Then paint them with chrome and gold paint!

Why couldn't they have just stuck w/ a 35mm offset?...

You need a bolt pattern of 5x112 and an offset of 20....

I found a pretty good looking wheel here...

good luck!

Well don't limit yourself too much... if you need 20mm offset, you can buy 35mm offset wheels and run a 15mm hubcentric spacer. They aren't cheap... but at least it opens up your options for wheels... and this way you can shop for used wheels, too. Doubt you'll find a set of used wheels with ET20
