Sorry if this has been asked many times. I can't find anything in search.

What other Audi model OEM rims will fit the S6? I am starting off with the new black optic 20". I want to get a set of winter tires on separate rims. I prefer OEM and am wondering if rims from a Q7 or something else will fit the S6.

Yes, I know very little about car mechanics any more.

If you're interested in straight OEM, your dealer would be happy to sell you a set of 19"s that will fit. I was looking at the poster at the Parts Department the other day and it looked like they had 2-3 different styles for the S6. Be prepared to shell out $2000 or so for a set of four, however.

Alternately, I have used a set of replica OEM wheels from these guys for two winters:
OEM Wheels Plus - Your Online Source for OEM Replica Wheels fits Audi, BMW, Mercedes Benz, Land Rover, Lexus, Porsche, and VW

They fit my S6 perfectly and I have no complaints after two winters (my wife runs a different set from them on her Q5 for the winter, too).

I have a set of the 19" 5-rotor wheels on my S6, with winter tires mounted. They just fit over the calipers in the front, requiring clip-on weights on the edges, instead of the normal tape-on weights in the barrels. Not many miles on them, but they look good, and seem to be round.

I was more hoping to get OEM from a discounting reseller or off of a crash.

I pulled up a set on your link and it specifies the 19" I was looking at fits:
Audi A4: B5, B6, B7, B8
Audi A5: B8
Audi A6: C5 chassis 4.2L* (requires 15mm spacer)
Audi A6: C4, C5, C6* and C7 chassis
Audi A7: C7
Audi A8: D2, D3 and D4 chassis
Audi allroad* (requires 15mm spacer)
Audi Q5
Audi RS4: B7 chassis* (requires 15mm spacer)
Audi RS6: C5 chassis* (requires 15mm spacer)
Audi S4: B6, B7
Audi S5: B8

This might be the answer to my overall question of what is interchangeable with the S6.

I know for a fact that the factory sports package 19" wheels from a 2013 A6 3.0t will fit. I traded mine to a S6 owners for his 20's and he had no problems clearing his brakes. They are the ones shown on my car here:

My I ask specifically why OEM? My personal recommendation if you want good looking wheels at a lower cost with perfect fitments, go with VMR......

Here are VMR 708 20x9 ET35 with Michelin Pilot Supersport tires:



I use my stock wheels for winter:



......Proof that an S6 with snow tires can handle 15" of snow on the road !!!!

Go here for a non-exhaustive list of OEM wheels: Audi OEM Wheels

The S6 has a 5x112 bolt pattern. Some Audis such as the Q7 use a differnt bolt pattern. You'll need to pay attention to wheel width/offset. For a given width, a lower ET pushes the wheel outwards. Stock S6 20" is 8.5" wide ET45. ET is measured relative to the center line of the wheel, so if you change the width, you can no longer directly compare ET. I like to use this calculator.

Lastly, specs won't tell you whether a given wheel will fit over your big front calipers. You'll have to find someone who has tried, or find someone with a set that you can test fit yourself.

Here is another fitment calculator with pics of how your new wheel will sit relative to the stock one:
