Default CHeck out the new wheels on my A6

I got a great deal on 20" Audi OEM wheels in black with new DWS Conti's - 265 35 20"s. Ride is firm as expected. They are bit noisy, but I think I'll get used to them.

What do you think?

I like the black wheels but 20’s produce a terrible, noisy ride and IMHO don’t look as good as a more practical size. Why people think that they look better is beyond me, it just says to me that the owner prefers a perceived improvement over real functionality.

Man, you are on a roll today!

To OP. I love black wheels but with your color of car, the chrome look really good.

Thanks for the input all. I like how the bigger wheels fill the wheel wells. The black is a nice contrast. To be honest, when I bought them I didn't realized they were black. They looked grey in the pics.

I did order new black center caps that has the Audi rings in chrome. Like I mentioned, the ride is firm and certainly noisy. I guess 19's would have been an option, but didn't really think of it.

Next mod will either be APR software or sway bars.

Something does not look right here, maybe the offset or the lack of a 'dish'? Sorry. .02

I agree. I love black wheels too but it kinda doesn’t go well with the color of the A6. But that’s just my opinion. If you love it, that’s all that matters.

1) Ouch, that was harsh. ^^^^^^

2) I think the color looks good. Black wheel "go" with anything. If you like them, that's all that matters.

Yep, my feelings were starting to get hurt . Tough crowd. Not many A6's with black wheels around me. I like that it stands out.
