20, 21 or 22's. Here we go again!
 
I just purchased my 2015 A7 Premium Plus and I'm looking for feedback on rims/wheel size. I'm definitely not feeling the 22's. In my opinion, it takes away from the car. It's almost like those Buick Regals on 30's. No offense Regal lovers w/30's. So that leaves the 20's and 21's. I bought the car with the stock 20's and they look good but I believe with different type 20' rim it would give the illusion of a bigger rim. I've been told that the 21's will make the car taller and would affect all those things taller rims do. In addition, any decent tire in a 21 is going to be costly. I guess my question, does anyone w/21's have any issues? For those who stayed with 20's, what tire size did you go with? One other thing, I'm also installing HWV1 Coilovers.

(Please provide pics if possible)
New to this forum and happy to be here.

Welcome aboard the A7 train, Tony. Personally wouldn't go bigger than 20's but that's because I drive around Chicago with some bad road conditions (potholes). Would consider 21's in a milder climate, however.

I have a 2014 A7 BITDI and have the original 21" Rotor wheels with 275/30/32 types. No problem with comfort at all. I do have the air suspension but I drive in dynamic mode all time. Had a A6 with the same airsuspension and 20" whees before and that car was much stiffer then the A7. Anybody who has experienced the same?

Anyway, here are some pictures

Thanks for the info! Ive decided to go with the Avant Garde M590 in the 20 and with H&R spring on the recommendation from Travis at SD MotorSports. He's very knowledgable and knows what he's talking about. He actually just did my A7's tint that came out fantastic. I'll be dropping off the car tomorrow and will post pics next week.

I just purchased Avant Garde M510 21 inch.

My car will be lowered with Eibach Spring and let's see how they turn out. :D

I went with 21 inch since I have 19" for snow / 20" for stock wheel.

Just wanted to try out 21 inch for the looks.

I will have update as well (Scheduled to install on Oct 31st)

Looking forward to seeing it. I went with the H&R due to the more aggressive rake. It's not an even drop.

Looks good!

wow that looks really nice. if you could vinyl wrap the chrome it'd be like going 101%. how is the ride quality with H&R? i've got the non-sports version, trying to decide between h&r vs eibach.

What is "BITDI" (TDI = Diesel I assume). Are you saying those wheels and air suspension are factory options? I'm assuming those are S8 wheels as I've never heard of either 21's or air suspension available from the factory.

OKAY, I just googled it. Apparently is is something we don't get in the U.S.
