Default Got the S6 back from dealer after 5K mile oil change...

went outside and saw the Sales Mgr. and Service Mgr. standing around it, talking and pointing to the allroad door trim which I had installed a few weeks ago.

The Sales Mgr. said that it looked great and that they should take a picture to send to Audi. They said that Audi should put the allroad trim on the S6 from the beginning, that it really complimented the roof rails and side mirrors. Service Mgr. said that he was "told" that the rear door trim wouldn't fit because it was too short. Told him no problems, (seeing is believing), 45 mins. and a couple glass of wine. They both loved the wheels, car, etc.

Last, while I was waiting, I went across the street and ordered a set of 18" Blizzaks as my winter tire (235x40x18). I think I will keep the R-38's and Blizzaks as my winter set-up and purchase a new set of wheels for the S0-3 summer setup. Maybe talk to Josh at Achtuning about 18" RS 6 wheels (mmmmmmmmm) or look at the Mille Miglia A1's.

That is all. (I know, I need to update the sig)

Default 19" wheels = 19" tires. Since I have "new" 18" S0-3's I want to stay at 18".

Plus the 19" sidewalls are getting too thin. The 18" look thin as it is.
