Default Pass. Too much open space between spokes to balance with the large solid simple shape of the A6.

You need something with more visual mass to offset the bulk of the car IMHO. If you go with something large blingy like that, you will most certainly have to lower the car or it will look a bit silly. Also, chrome pits the metal underneath and weakens it. Lots of other nice choices for wheels out there, that suit the car much better IMHO. Just start digging through people's picture posters. Guys like Boston have gone through a few styles.

Keep in mind you will reduce the performance of your car if the wheels and tires weigh more than stock. Heavy wheels result is worse braking, cornering, ride, and acceleration.

To each his own, but they're not a match to the lines or the spirit of the car IMO.
