Default got my 04 imola s4 about a week ago now and am love but am looking for wheels... any gallardo reps?

I picked up my 04 imola s4 about a week ago now, loving absolutely every minute of it, i came from driving a bmw m3 which although being a great car gets really old driving to and from work everyday with the uber stiff suspension and the harder clutch/shifter/steering... anyway, i love the look of the avus rims but would like to set it apart a bit, has anyone ever made a set of Lamborghini Gallardo replica rims? did a search but couldn't find anything, i think that would really look cool on this car, still avus but ever so slightly different.. thoughts?

Default Haven't seen any Gallardo reps, but IMO, they would not look good on our cars.

The S4 is a very smooth, flowing design, and while the current Avus rims are still angular, the lines are soft. I think the Gallardo rims would be too sharp-edged and blocky to work well.

Default gotcha, there was a gallardo in my office parking lot yesterday so i parked next to it...

and it gave me the idea, i'll have to photoshop them on to get an idea, i see what your saying though, i am a huge fan of the avus rims, simple and refined plus not to terrible expensive if something happens to them

Default Here's pics of what they look like on a B6

I personally like it, considering the Gallardo wheels are avus's and VERY similar to our wheels. Especially on yellow, i think it would look hot and sorta exotic too.
