Default Which Wheels Do You Prefer?

I did my first winter wheel swaps (and had fun doing it myself) and am curious which you you prefer:


S6 on Original Wheels w/ Pilot Sport A/S 3


S6 on New Wheels w/ Blizzak LM-32

I could swap the wheels between winter and summer, so I'm just curious what I should do for the daily drive. Thanks!

Thanks! Those are the RS7 wheels in 19". I already had the OEM 19, which I think gives a better ride and no worse performance, and I really didn't want to put 20s on in winter. What's funny is that these are OEM Wheels Plus wheels and cost maybe a third of the OEM. The 20" might look too big for a stealthy car.

I'm not totally sure I like the look of them better, but I might swap the tires as suggested. Convenience is probably a factor in that decision…

Prefer the second set. I would use them for my summer tires and use the originals for the winter.

That's a pretty clear voice. Now, if I can only figure out how to easily enough swap the tires. I think I've about shredded the stock ones in a year, so maybe I'll switch them out when those are toast.

Glad to see some diversity I think they're both great.

I like the new ones a lot. However, they look like they would be easily curb rashed. If you don't live where you parallel park it would not be an issue though. But for me in NY, too dangerous. Lovely wheels!
