They do. The disks are bigger in diameter, and calipers are fatter. Standard 20" wheels won't work, such as the HRE p-series that have a smooth slightly tapered barrel. Some styles like the Forgeline monoblocks step the barrel to a larger diameter just inside the spokes, and might clear the calipers. Also, the German Audi web site lists a 20" winter set for the Performance.

How do you see this? Does the website pull up in German?

Hello Homer,
My car does have the perfomance package. I will let you know what I decide on.
I was going to buy a set in Germany but they would not let me put them in the car.
Thanks,
Nelson
