Default Splash Guards! (aka mud flaps...)

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/23312/arsplash.jpg"></center><p>Finally, the AudiUSA accessories site (which has been re-designed) has allroad splash guards listed. It's also noted there that they're out of stock. But just to have them listed there is a victory of sorts. (Apparently ClairParts knows about it, as there was a post about backorder recently.) Here's the Audi picture. Not,you'll note, a regular allroad wheel, but it looks to me like a P6 allroad tire.

I want some. HPH

And a beautiful wheel it is, too, really.

What I really want to know is why the splash guards don't have one of those chrome silhouettes of a babe, like truckers' flaps have.

That would go perfectly with the little Ronal Bear wheels I got... HPH

Default It's either the RS4 wheel or the A4 Celebration wheel.

The RS4 wheel is 18" and the A4 Celebration wheel is 17". Both are 9 spoke. Notice that the spokes on the RS4 wheel are a little more curved due to the middle of the RS4 wheel is indented due to the different offset and the lip is slightly different.

RS4 wheel DAMN, I WANT THIS CAR!!!) 380 hp from the 2.7T engine! Wahoo! MTM has one tuned to 500hp!

Default It's not the pervious generation A4 rim (offset wouldn't work without a huge spacer)

I would like to have those style rims on my ar if they were 17" though...very much.

Default Very cool! I'd like to see a full picture of the car with them.

Clair Parts carries them to fit the allroad for $435.<ul><li><a href="http://www.clairparts.com/shop/accessories.cfm?do=buy&&pid=1549">http://www.clairparts.com/shop/accessories.cfm?do=buy&&pid=1549</a</li></ul>

Default IMO it might look a little funny with 18" and non-lowered suspension (might be wrong)

Photo chop anyone?

Default Here's a photochop job from the S4 forum. Car is on level 4. I think I like them but they are $$$!
