1. My original equipment with oem 16s
<img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/66311/dscf1513.jpg">
2. Then I spotted a nice set of used 18s RS4 replicas and i thought I found my destiny, only to find that I cannot accept the ride of 18s on my Sports package

3. On goes my 16s again, but thought I'd colour code my bumpers and door trims. What a difference! Fell in love with my Car all over again, this time debadged!

4. My final destiny 17s A8 12 spokes, a set of 4 for a bargain $500, fitted Potenza G3s 215/50. They look bigger than they actually are because of the thin lip as well as the backed out inner part of the spokes, in real life they look more like 18s! Balancing out the ride and handling just the way I like it. It will be a long time before I part with my A6. Now I am just waiting for my Phat Box to come from Clair Parts - its been taking a while and I am still waiting.

Looks great. I never did like the unpainted lowers. Makes a world of difference!

Default Dude, Yelw plates on back, wht on front.Only France(Euro for sure..)Also(kinda long). Interesting !!

There in europe, they have almost x3(times three) varieties of engines? Its cool as hell. Since you can choose a TDI one, debage it and it wouldn't look any worst than my 2.7T !!! ...well not for perfomance enthusiasts(as me), only for the people who like to pimp their car outside. I like it to be somewhere in the middle, not a fuel monster, or a HP baby that would bring me 0-100km/h in 16sec. In europe, especially the country i am from, its very important to have sufficient HP under your hood, since there we pass the cars going in your direction on the oncoming traffic-lane(tried it here a few times 5 out 10 accident-danger occured, since 1. I don't have a whole bunch of expierences, like all my friends back in Europe do; 2. The cars here are all so POWERFUL that it is hard to compete with even some "nasty", little Cavalier, on higher/HWY/road speeds which has a V6 [!!] which also would be almost impossible in Europe(3.0 for a small car like that)..)
--Yes in Europe they have the 1.8T, just like we do have the 1.8T Passats, which is logically since it is the same Corporation. Don't ask if a Seat, Skoda Octavia or SuperB would have 1.8T...
Yes, VW Corporation is big, one of the Biggest one in Europe, if actually not the biggest one! And i wouldn't be surprised if half of us here would have a Skoda Octavia in the US, because the ride is almost as smooth as in a VW Passat, and the price is the same as Saturn cars have(not the quality ofcourse). I mean - perfect everyday, long run, cheap parts car !!! I would personally buy one RIGHT NOW ! I thing the price i saw a few years before on a brand new one, was like $11.5K !! Can you imagine a brand new, PREMIUM-calass, VW quality car, for 11Ks ??!
-----IF VOLKSWAGEN STAFF HEARS ME, PLEASE START MOVING ON THE "SKODA AND SEAT IMPORT" TOPIC NOW !!! Well, only if Diamler, GM, president Bush(that probably preffers to have a GM limo, instead of Audi limousine ;] ) and others would alloud VW to do so... Euro AUTOMOBILE market would SMASH the US market in just a few years... Quality-wise... US CAR BRANDS, PUT MORE QUALITY INTO YOUR CARS, PLEASE...
---OK-OK, now all US citizens, and lovers of this country(and for those who might get something written in here wrong...). Ofcousre I don't have something against US, its just that I LOVE EURO CAR, and i think that they are much more fair to their customers than GM, Diamler or others... OK? I Still drove a Dodge Caravan and still eat Cheeseburgers (in present time)! )))

P.S. I am writing all this after a good night (including American female ) !!! OK?!) In which i actually received a TICKET 14mls over... Mann... who cares, im a Car Enthusiast Addict..! Damn neighbors, if ya all see that...... SUP HAHA !!!!!!!!................


PEACE OUT !!!
