Default Summer Wheels

So now that spring is officially here, it's time to talk summer wheels. I had opted out of the 21" upgrade because i knew i was going to use the 20's as my winter set, however, now that winter driving is all about done, i need new wheels!

Looks like i have a couple choices, 21x8.5 ET34 which is the OEM size, or go for a 21x9 ET33, wider and taller (using a 265/40).

First off, any experiences with 21's of a wider size?

Second, anyone know of any good vendors that sell wheel and tire packages in audi sizes?

Thanks!

Check out Don Vitalli's thread on AudiZine. BC Forged RS40's in 21x10. Most perfect wheel/tire combo if I ever saw one.

Hey Andyu,

You should look into 22" as they are more universal of a size. We are vendor here on AudiWorld and have some options that would look mean on a S/Q5

The BD-17/5

The BD-3 is another one of my favorites. They look super aggressive on this A4.

Yeah i've been keeping an eye on that thread as well. I've also noticed the trend of 20" and 22" but not a ton of choices for 21". I'm just trying to find something reasonable and nothing really aggressive, no spacers needed esp. since i'm swapping a winter set, would rather just not deal with them altogether. I was kind of digging the 21" RS6 replicas but can't seem to find them anywhere. Hartmann only has them up to 20

The RS6 wheels are actually my favorite OEM wheels. Well, if you don't find what you're looking for, let me know and we can work on getting the perfect set up for you. We do custom drilling and shaving in house so you can always expect the perfect fitment.
