Hey "markcincinnati"..........
Remember me. I owned the '01 A6 4.2 white pearl, sport. No longer. I took advantage of Audi's Lease Buy-Back program. I leased the '04 Allroad 4.2, Silver. Equipped with Prem,Cold, BOSE,Infotainment, XM Sat. radio, 18" wheels, and Full Body Paint option.
I really love this car. The monthly lease payment is $100 less than my previous Audi 4.2.
THe AR 4.2 is better than the other. I recently tinted all window,and did the front fog lamp modification. Just received RS6 hubcentric (no spacer needed) wheels,with Audi center caps. I will mount these on the OEM Performance tires that came with the car. I plan to take digital photo's and post.
Your car looks awesome.

that means they are already set up for the Allroad
some rims need hubcentric rings placed in them to fit the appropriate application, ie-allroad, and no spacers must mean et20...as compared to the standard et30-35 of the RS6 wheels.

Re: Hey "markcincinnati"..........
I believe that even the wheels that are made to fit the AR without spacers still need the hubcentric spacers, which center the wheel on the hub, this is just a small insert that fits in the center of the wheel and if you don't use them you WILL have problems.

Congratulations. . .

I too love my 03 2.7T allroad -- full paint, RS 6 18" wheels (5mm spacers) 402 mod lowered, PSK sport swaybar and bushings, sport BPV's and Falken Azenis ST115 tires (245 x 45 x 18"). As you may remember I had 2 A6 4.2's in a row -- an '00 and an '01 -- the allroad (which has a stick shift to provide full disclosure) is one of my most favorite Audi's by far (and my monthly lease payment dropped $300! -- and my allroad has every possible option including the phone and On*star (but no solar sun roof nor 3rd row seats as these things were not offered in November 2002 when my ordered '03 came in).
Also, I can only assume -- to respond to another's post -- that you took advantage of the early out lease and that you, like many of us, assume the use of the word "owned" even though we generally would not technically own a car. That is you had leased your earlier Audi and AoA let you early out in exchange for your "purchase" of a new Audi.
The operative phrase being "lease or rent what depreciates and buy what appreciates" (at least when speaking of big ticket items.) Most folks rent apartments and buy cars which is back-asswards to me. Nevertheless, we usually say "I own this car, or I bought this car" even when the mode of funding is leasing.
To each his/her own.
Drive it like you live.

Re: Wheel info
Just go to www.achtuning.com, browse around the site and give them a call.
They were helpful -- and although no one is perfect, I would do biz with them again.
RS 6 replicas -- 18" 5mm spacers and Audi centercaps.
