Default Winter wheels
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/6080/ssr_comp_wheels.jpg"></center><p>I went up in the attic last weekend and had forgotten that I had stored my summer wheels from my 2000 S4 up there. They are 18 inch SSR comps. I tried them on the RS4 and they clear the brakes by 3mm. A quick trip to the local tire store to have Dunlop Wintersports put on and I now have my winter wheels and tires for the RS4. Bring on the snow.

Default ^2nd. They look easy to clean too - very important that time of year!
Glad I don't have to clean the stock wheels in the winter.

Default They must sit inside the wheel well a little ways then
which is probably good for winter, keep the crap off the car.

Default They do sit inside a bit. I think they are 32 offset. I went with 225/45/18 tires for the added
sidewall. The roads around here can get pretty rough in winter.

Default Easiest wheel to clean I've ever had, and so far have been durable, used them for a few years on the
B5S4 and 1 summer on an A6 and a few times hit potholes that made me cringe but no damage yet, they are light weight too.
