Pic of my new wheels

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/16696/front-driver.jpg"></center><p>I'll get some better outdoor shots when I can, but here is a good start. I'm going to put some keywords in this post for searching - I suggest everyone do the same with posts that may be useful to others. I know I really wanted to see these wheels on my car before I bought them. They are the ATP S5 with bstone PP s-02's I just got from eddie at tirerack. Once again, props go out. Eddie provided exactly what was promised with exceptional timing. I love the way they look - I'll call them S6 rims. Anyone know if I can get some Audi centercaps on these? They seems to be "stick-on" caps - not solid inserts.
PS - doesn't that look like a bright red Carerra-4 in the reflection? Nope - toyota solara convertible... weird angle i guess.

keywords:ATP, S5, A6, 2.7T, black, picture, wheels, wheel, rims, tires

Re: Pic of my new wheels

Are these 18"? How do you like the ride on these compare to the stocks? Can you tell me the different? I'm looking at buying these for my A6 but I don't know how good these wheels are.

Re: Pic of my new wheels

Yes It would be great to have some kind of keyword system to help search for wheels photos. Seems every combination of body style, wheels and tires has been photographed and posted here. Tracking them down is near impossible.

Re: Pic of my new wheels

No, these are only 17s. I really love the way they look. I'm a conservative wheel fan. I was trying to avoid the "master P" look as much as possible, and I think I did. I say these are the S6 look. They look more than big enough. I was debating 18" rims pretty hard - I'm happy with the choice I made. These look low profile enough to look sporty/high performance, without looking gaudy. I personally feel they rule. I glance at the car like mad after I park etc, and I love the look. I recommend them highly, especially for someone who wants a somewhat stock look.
Regarding ride:
I got the car back with these rims installed after 3 weeks in the shop. This makes it kind of hard to compare to stock, but I feel they aren't any harsher at all. The body roll I used to feel seems to be gone, which is great. I would still say the ride is superb in the smooth and quiet categories. The move to 17" is a no-brainer I would say. Even if this car was used to chauffuer - I would still suggest them. Did I mention they look awesome? Haven't really pressed them performance-wise yet. I've learned that it is best to let the performance testing times arise on their own, and not go looking for them

All in due time...

NIce looking wheels

I'm looking for something along those lines too. I would also like to have a rim too instead of the spoke being right on the edge. I like the Borbet Type R's so if anyone has a pic of these installed, please post.
