Thanks, Looking at the site, I think I am going to go with these for a winter set. My S6 is Moonlight Blue and I am thinking with the gunmetal grey, it will hide the winter filth and brake dusk better

They told me they would fit the S6 even after I mentioned the large brake calipers that could be a problem. Hope you aren't going to lose any money shipping them back. Annoying to say the least.

FWIW, I think it's tough with such a low-volume car to find one to do a proper fitment test. Even Tire Rack only has a few wheels that they have officially blessed.

I specifically asked if they test fitted on a S6 and he skirted the question. I verified multiple times that they would pay for return shipping if they didn't fit. Still a pain to go through all that and have to ship back. Of course my caliper got a little scratched in the process. Let's just say I was cautiously pessimistic from the start.

Anyone know what kind of quality you get with the wheels from the above www.oemwheelsplus.com website?? Good price and good selection, but I'm cautious of cheaper wheels that will easily bend/dent on tough winter roads.... anyone have experience with these?

I just received this email from the company. I guess I will try them out.
Chris,

Yes these wheels linked below will fit a stock 2013 Audi S6 with the correct tire size.

Let us know if you need anything else.

Thank you,

Does anyone have experience with these yet? Thinking about pulling the trigger but very concerned about getting a $hitty soft wheel prone to bending...

I just got my wheels delivered yesterday and my tires from tirerack.com. Took them to a local shop and they put them together.

I'm not an expert, but these are really nice rims. I have a attached a pic. Overall a great setup and great price.
