Default Thoughts on this wheel?

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/59644/trento5.jpg"></center><p>3 piece forged, center could be chrome, polished, or painted in matching color. 19-20" haven't checked on price yet, wanted others input before taking next step.

Would go on Nogaro Avant either as shown, or painted Nogaro, or polished/brushed.

All comments welcome

Default I'd like to see it in brushed

Brushed might look good, otherwise too much bling.

Default Nice. Fantastic departure from the norm...

I love it when people use their imagination in both designing and selecting a custom wheel. I see so many of the same type of custom wheel on the S4, I'm sick of it. I like your choice. More importantly, if you like it..... do your thing son.

But the price for those wheels...OUCH!!!!!

That brand has some nice looking wheels, but they are expensive

Default If your gonna spend that much money, buy HRE or Fikse...

trust me you will not be dissapointed. Ask efso. He saw the HRE's on my car today, they look 10 times better in person then in pictures.

Default Thank you! I know they are a love or hate style and expensive,

as well as being somewhat bling, but different is what I am looking for and it may still take some time to make a final decision.

So many have already chosen HRE or Iforged which are similary expensive, 2-3piece and in some versions could be considered Bling! Mayas, Sportecs and similar are also or will become more popular and nothing wrong with any of them either, its what the owner thinks looks good on his ride. All personal opinions, and I really try hard not to copy anyone.

I have 19"RS6's on my Avant now and like them as well as the tires very much for everyday use and they were a great deal I couldn't pass up. Much better than the stock Avus, but as I plan to attend some shows I am looking for a rim that gets em talking and jumps in your face, without being to overpowering.

This rim does alot for me,
1. different than anyone else for some time
2. custom options (paint, polish, brushed)
3. 3 piece rim
4. deep dish ( have always liked on BMW rims, but hard to find for Volvo Audi) and polished lip.

Saw an 18" black rim with polished lip on a VW Golf GTI or R32 in the blue which looked good and got me thinking it might work on a Nogaro Avant?

I am partial to five spoke rims as well, had 17"Freedom Design rims on a Mazda 626GT 5-door, and 18"Antera 143 on my Volvo 850T both very rare.

Thanks for all your opinions good and bad they help.

Allan
