Default Wheel opinion R7 vs 4.2 stock 17" wheel

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/23716/a6r7.jpg"></center><p>I purchased the R7's, they are shown here with the Nokian NRW's.
What do you think about these in comparison to the stock 4.2 wheels?
Car is '02 A6 4.2, was wondering what other 4.2er's think of them on the car.
Thanks

Default how about Avus?

Tough call, my 4.2 came with those small 16" rims.. I wish I had opt for the sport package. I like the Avus on 4.2 a lot. But if you decided to sell the factory 17".. I will take them off your hand, and put some $$ in your pocket.. BTW crown region PCA..

Default Nah, they don't look right IMO...

Sport wheels look better standing still and (especially) in motion.

Default Couldn't look better.

I have R7s on my 2.7T. I don't stop getting compliments on them. And, I can tell you they work great all year long, even in a South Texas summer.
