Hi,
I'm a new member of this forum and could use some help. I have an '08 S6 with OEM wheels (19x9 5-112 ET52). I also have a set of winter tires (Blizzak LM-60) that match the OEM tire size for the vehicle (265/35/19). The winter tires are in great shape and I want to find a set of dedicated rims that I can run them on instead of swapping them twice a year onto my current rims.

I'd rather not spend $2K on new wheels from the dealer. My options seem limited though, since the Blizzak specs say not to run these on a rims narrower than 9". There are not many 19x9 wheels out there. The only Audi wheels that I am aware of that fit this description are two for the S6 ('08 style and '10 style) and three for the TTS. Would consider a used set of these but was told to stay away from places that sell remanufactured wheels. The only other option that I am aware of is to buy good replicas or aftermarket wheels. I looked at Hartmann wheels but they don't have anything wider than 8.5".

So, I'm opening this up to you guys in hopes of getting some advice on what to do here.

Thanks in advance!

^^He is not choosing his tire size. He said he already has the 265/35R19 which, by the way, is a great fit for the vehicle.

I have a few 19x9.5'' that will work for it. Check out these options and see what you think:

Sport Edition ST4
Sport Edition ST3
Sport Edition ST4 (Bright Satin finish)

These are all low pressure casted wheels so it's a nice high quality structure. The finish is also suited for winter use. Let me know if any questions come up.
