Default Looking good.......

...I didn't know the rims were going on an Avant. All you need is S6 door trim to make it look lige mine......

Cheers

Default did you have smaller wheels before? -mpg question

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/52062/a6front34_sig.jpg"></center><p>I'm interested to find out how much bigger and fatter wheels affect mpg. Is there a difference?

My avant came with 235/45/17 and the fuel economy is closer to S6 specs.

Default Re: did you have smaller wheels before? -mpg question

Yea I had the 16" Wine Glass rims...

The milage in the 2.8 30v is worse than my 2.7t anyway... only 20 to 24 mpg.

I'll try and post if I see that it is dramatically different.
