Default after many months...

<img src="http://www.snapriot.com/gallery/Private/Audi/_MG_6769%20copy.jpg">

They have finally arrived (the wheels). and they Fit PERFECTLY. personally after test fitting these tonight, i dont think you can go ANY more agressive than this without doing fender work.

the sizes...
19x10 rear
19x9 front
ET 38

Since i test fitted them today, and they fit under the fender just perfect, i just ordered up the tires. - Falken FK 452 (VIP/Luxury model) - in a 275/30/19 rear and a 245/35/19 front (within load rating, and recommended size) -but should provide a tiny bit of stretch look..

i wont be posting any more pics till they are on, but i wanted to give you guys info about a very agressive wheel size that seemed to fit perfectly!!! the photo is a tease for now
