Coming from a totaled blacked out 2023 Etron at 48% depreciation in two years and 23k on the clock. Loved the way it looked. It was definitely a head turner. Not going to miss the range in it. Wish Audi made an ICE equivalent of it.
Market is tight, not a lot of good options in my area and felt a little rushed but picked a car that is probably done with most of its depreciation. Picked up a used 2021 RSQ8 hoping it is solid. 33k miles grey. Starting to see some quirks that I am hoping they are just that. It has the Carbon Ceramic Brakes. Night vision, Alcántara, tow. It is beast! I do love driving it. I can't believe those 23" wheels.
Now to find a winter tire set-up. Dealer told me I can go to 21 but I find that hard to believe. Going to start looking for tire/wheel threads! 😂

Congrats! Sounds like a great spec/purchase. Yes, this is the correct subforum.
You cannot go 21" with CCB. The dealer is probably looking at the size options for standard steel brakes. Lots of good info on wheels here. CCB is still relatively rare on here because none of the Q8 or SQ8 owners have them and only maybe 20% of the RS owners have them on here. Luckily most of the RSQ8P have them, so the number is increasing. Just make sure the advice you're following is ok for CCB.

Great information! Yes, that is what I figured! Those CCB are ridiculous! Hopefully they last longer the car! 😂 Sweating that.
So 22" is the lowest. Got it.
Thank you!

You may be seeing people retrofitting the 440mm from the RSQ8 (Edit: or the RS6P?) onto the RS6/7 (I saw that thread too). Those aren't OEM for the RS6, but are indeed OEM (for the RSQ8). Those people would not be able to run 21" wheels after the retrofit.

They are not. The front ceramic are 420mm on the RS6/7. The ceramic rear are the same on RSQ8 and RS6/7 at 370mm.
