Wheels for Winter Tires
I have a 2013 S6 (Glacier white, driver assist, comfort seating, cold weather pkg, LED headlights, rubber mats, etc.) I am trying to find a set of used or modestly-priced aftermarket wheels for winter tires. Several online wheel guys I contacted said they could not guarantee fit in view of the larger calipers. Can you all suggest some sources and provide me with specs? The current wells are 19x8.5 but I don't know hub or offset info. Do any wheels from other Audi models fit - I note several sets for sale here? Tire Rack has a very limited selection and mainly 20", which limits winter tire choice. I am in NJ and could probably get by with all-seasons, but, as the forum notes, they are a compromise. I had them on my last car (AWD Infiniti G37) and they were OK but not as good as 4 winter tires on my RWD V8 Lincoln LS. Thanks all.

There's not much in the way of modestly-priced 19" wheels, and even less in an offset that will fit an S6. I picked up OEM 19" wheels from the dealer for my winter set-up. They ran less than $500 per wheel (not cheap either, but a guaranteed fit and known to be decent quality).

Has anyone tried a set of 19" Peelers from a B8 A4/S4? They are 19x8.5 et43 but I don't know if they'll clear the front calipers. If my B8 peelers aren't sold by next week, maybe I'll test fit them in front.

Any pics of those wheels? I was going to consider getting 19 replica's from Hartmann but may consider the Audi winter package if the wheels are decent.
