Default Looking For a Set of Aftermarket Wheels for My 97 Cabriolet

Hello Everyone,

I'm in the market for a sporty/aggressive set (17 or 18 inch) of aftermarket wheels for my 97 Audi Cabriolet. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Call them, and check on their Ebay store. I just got two sets of wheels for my CQ to replace the stolen wheels. 17x8 Voxx and 16x7 Konig. The 17x8's have a low offset, so they may rub, we'll find out. But they fill out the wheel wells very well with 245 rubber on them.

Thanks Everyone,

I'll take a look and see what they have, are there any issues that I should be concerned with if I convert it to 5 lug?

Thanks again,
Tony

Issues? Yes, cost. 5-lug conversion can run over $1k plus the cost of wheels.

I cant see how. I pulled a set of v8 hubs and a set of a4 for one of my cq conversion and i paid like $30 at the local junk yard.
Add bearing, ok, like $30 each?
