I love the layered aluminum/black wood trim! It looks sharp, is easy to keep clean and fits the style of the car perfectly IMO. I've also had a bunch of friends tell me how much they like it.

And you always need longer bolts when you add spacers. They were sold with the ECS spacers when I bought them.

Thanks for the feedback. Gonna spring for it, keep hearing it's quite unique. In a related note, saw a vid out there showcasing the mfg process, appears to have been quite a challenge for them to produce.

I'm pretty sure BO 20's for A6/S6 are 20x8.5, and For A7/S7 they are 20x9.
When in for service I looked at a A7 with the package they it had 265 verus our 255. Now 265 can fit on a 8.5, but by the visual it was a 9.
I asked the parts guy....no idea even after looking it up. I hate when i know more than the parts guy.

I have the ECS spacers on my A6 and S6 and I love them. I went with 10mm on the front and 12.5mm on the rear. We tried more but since I have such an aggressive stance it rubs going wider. I dont have a single rock chip or anything on either of them and with my cars being black, I would notice. Just make sure you get extended lugs.

Check out this thread link which deals with black optics on S6 and A7 20 inch wheels.

I recently lowered my S6 with 20s by 17mm with VCDS. Looking to purchase ECS 17.5" spacers all round. A little concerned about the spray and rock chips but I think 17.5 is just right.

Here ya go...
I put 17.5mm on all corners with the standard BO wheels and no issues and it came out just right. You could put 20's on if you wanted an even more planted look, but this was perfect for me. Next up, the 034 trans mount insert and waiting for a package from Eurocode (like many others out there). Cheers!
These pics also show the color on a cloudy day (and taken with a phone).

Any issues with rock chips / crazy spray amounts? I have a 17mm VCDS lower and installing ECS 17.5mm spacers this weekend. Want to get some feedback before I do! Thanks
