Does this one suck more or less then the previous ones?

Default I actually like the dual 5 spoke designs out there, but I don't like silve w/ chrome lip

If the center was painted to match body color, of just powdercoated black, It'd be better IMO

Default Thats not a bad looking wheel....I would rock it, if the weight was around 18-19lbs in 18inch

It has a little bling bling to it, but acceptable for the A4...I think

Default Less: I have seen them look good.

I prefer some more visual weight to wheels.

Spokes are to skinny and to few for my taste.

but again, I have seen them done well.

Default What do you think of these...

Default I'm going for a lip also, but the angle and the shape of these spokes is just aweful

And coming from me that's saying something :P

Default Nice looking wheels

They look like a cross between the AMG Twin design and the OZ Superleggera. I just picked up a set of ASA ST4's at the Tirerack, they are a AMG twin lookalike wheel.

Default not the best quality...

i got them reeeeeaaaal cheap as well. i bent my stockers so i needed something for winters. the polished lip has started to tarnish and peel and all that other fun stuff. doesnt really bother me though for the price i paid. if you live in a place with good weather you should be fine. plus i think in a larger size (mine are only 16s) they would look pretty pimp, the lip is pretty sweet. just my .02
