Buying a car with aftermarket wheels?
Hi all, I found an A5 SB that I really like, except I'm not a huge fan of the aftermarket, 20" Giovanna Kilis wheels. If I buy it, I'll hopefully find Audi center caps that fit to make it look a bit more stock. My question is, how much of an impact on value does it have to not have the stock wheels? It looks like the 19" S-Line wheels aren't cheap. Any feedback on these wheels in particular, the odds of finding someone to trade, and what the value implication may be? Thanks!

There are generally plenty of OE wheels for sale in the classifieds forum and eBay. I'd take a look there if you want Audi wheels.

Yeah, you will probably find someone willing to do a swap with you, Scott.

Are the wheels the only things that are not stock on the car? I'd makes sure there's not any other hidden surprises, 20" wheels and sport suspension will make for a rough ride.

It was a pretty rough ride. We have smooth roads here for the most part though so no big deal really. It has an RS5 grill (which I don't know how I feel about the lettering on it) and a vinyl wrap chrome delete. Stock otherwise. I made an offer that he didn't see too thrilled about so I think it all may be moot anyway. But thanks!
