Default Summer wheels are on...

I was going to wait until the car was in full summer mode (more on that another time) before I posted pics, but here you go.

19x9 O.Z. Superleggera III's
Stock Michelin PS2's 255/35
Fronts - Offset +26mm (1.5" lip) - 27lbs
Rears - Offset +24mm (2.5" lip) - 25.8lbs

The rears had to be special ordered b/c of the optional offset and lip. It took a long long time to get them. I ordered 9/27/06 and they shipped on 1/23/07. I also got new TPMS sensors so now my winters and summers have them and carbon fiber center caps instead of the standard silver ones.

I love the stock wheels and will be using them in the winter, but since the RS4 style will be made available on almost all Audi's I wanted a unique look. At first they looked small when comparing them to the stock wheels, b/c of the lip. It's the first RS4 I've seen in person with different rims and I guess it just looked weird at first, but not anymore. Now I just need to lower the car, the rears look fine right now, but the fronts really need to be lowered. After I put a suspension on it will look perfect.

Default Looks good. I'm liking the lips.

Seems like they were worth the wait.

Have any closeups?

Default I will release the details of my full summer set up very soon...

I'm just waiting on a few more parts to get here :-)

The only hint I can give you is that it's not STaSIS

Nice. How come the rears with the bigger lips are lighter?
