Wheel Options for the A6
I just picked up a 2012 Quartz Grey Prestige about a month ago and I haven't had this much fun driving since I was 16! Absolutley love this ride!
Due to the fact I live in Chicago, I did not opt for a Sport Package, so I have the 18" rims w/ all season tires which are needed in the winter time around here. I do plan on putting on summer tires and 19" rims every spring, so I was wondering if anyone had suggestions/photos on some potential 19's? Not a big fan of the 19's that came with the Sport Package, but I LOVE the look of the 20" Sport Package...is there a 19" rim out there that looks similiar?
Here are some that I really like, but they are priced pretty low compared to others I have seen, so not sure if that means they are crap?

Appreciate the feedback!

I have not seen any wheels like the 20" on-pine. But those are some really low prices. Even kind of odd that the wheel you linked in the 18" size is the same price.

Check element wheels..that's where I went. Www.elementwheels.com good selection and I've gotten great customer service. I picked a set of MRR wheels (gt-1)

Any reason why you opted out of sports package? Looks like the 18" version comes with all season... I don't care for the wheels but I thought other features would make $1000 well spent.
"For more performance-oriented handling characteristics, the 18" Sport Package includes a specially tuned, lower, firmer sport suspension. The 18 " 5-double-spoke alloy wheels have a bold, aggressive design and come equipped with all-season tires. The Sport Package includes a three-spoke, multifunction steering wheel with shift paddles, allowing effortless, race-inspired gear shifting while enabling you to keep your hands on the wheel. "
I may consider some of these replic wheels for winter:

Yeah, in retrospect, I should've opted for a sport package knowing I would need to swap for all seasons in the winter. Don't care for the smaller steering wheel though. Anyways, it looks like there are plenty of sweet 19" options out there for the summer.
I will definitely be looking more at what Hartman has to offer...
