Need wheel advise
I have had it with trying to keep the 15 spoke wheels that come on the car clean. I am going to get a new set and replace the hankooks with PS A/S3's.
I like all three of these designs. The first one comes from Aspecwheels.com the second from oemwheelsplus.com and the third from ECStuning.com
My A6 is the Glacier white metallic. These are the three wheels that I am considering.
or in black
or the 5 arm rotor

I'm a huge fan of the wheels on the car owned by the AW user "keithl"

The downside is that those are out of stock until March 1.

They all appear to have curb rash and they are 20" wheels.

Wow, glad I got my replacement wheel when I did. I rubbed curb and bought a new one back in October. They also make the wheel in 19 inch and without the Anthracite. Because I needed a replacement wheel Hartmann sold me that replacement at cost so they are great people.
These were my runner up choice:

Well I would highly recommend the style I put on my car

I too had tired of the 15 spoke style - I felt the look was not aggressive like I wanted and yes, they were a pain to clean
That said, out of your wheels I like the first one you showed a lot. That style probably would have been in my top 3 options when I looked. Style is a pretty personal choice. I would just make sure you buy them from a company that makes qood quality. Even though they may look the same, they quality can vary a lot. I had looked at oemplus but ruled them out. I ended up with Avant Garde. Just do your homework - lots of manufacturers out there, some very good, others who don't get great reviews (not sure who manufactures that first wheel you show - Aspec appears to be just an online seller of a variety of brands)

After spending a week deciding myself I went with the OEM 10 spoke in the first pic. My first instinct was to go with the s7/s5 style but it softens up the car too much. They make the C7 look like an updated C6. I think the black gun metals would look great on a black car.
