Out of curiosity...who's going aftermarket for wheels on the RS4; I mean summer...
Personally, I highly doubt I'd do it. The look is just perfect...and it's one of those things where the more mods you do, you simply take away from an awesome car.
Even with my LaBree setup, friends who love it...still say you spent a couple k to take 20k worth of luxury R&D from your quiet, luxury, but adequately fast sedan. ;-)
Then again, it's in the enthusiasts blood to eff around with components...but wheels though, they look great.
Ah, I think I've answered my own question...for those that will want to cut weight, especially rotational...that'd make sense.
Anyway, poll it up..who's done aftermarket on the wheels so far? Pics?

Basically, any mod you do takes away from the OEM quality built within.
On Audi, this is big. On inferior cars, meh...probably improving it a whole lot.
My friends comment on the 2k to take away 20 was teh sound you can hear when you get on it...sounds like a damn BEAST. He's an american muscle sound fan, but like Brendan, and the other milltek fans, I know what they're saying when they say it's too loud, not euro enough etc. I personally love it, when I get on it, and surprise the hell out of people...but that's just me. I like stealth that can scream when needed. Then I can put put along, with no one noticing the car, and then ROAR.
Also note, when showing friends what the exhaust is like...it's at 10/10ths in volume etc. Friends who casually go to lunch with me tell me "Sia, I swear this used to be louder" or "Sia, you really know how to keep it muffled when just cruising around parking lots, etc".
You and I know we can make it roar...but no need unless trying to terrify pedestrians on the Las Vegas Strip ;-O bwahahaha...good times Channy

possibly. I don't have anything against the OEM design, but god they're PITA to clean.
the titanium finish version would be better. obviously, you could do a lot better than OEM with a set of custom-built forged wheels.
