Default Anyone have THESE wheels on an A6? Thoughts on how they'd look on an S-Line?...

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/78241/calita.jpg"></center><p>Audi accessory catalog says they'll fit 6cyl A6's from 98 on.

They are 18x8, so do I need a spacer or something? Or I guess that depends more on the offset, right?

Thanks in advance.

didnt you get the 18" stock spoke rims with your s-line? I did. I think if you are looking to upgrade on the rims go bigger or put on teh S4 18" rims, they look hot.

Default In the "Northeast trading area" the S-Line came stock with 17's. I could have had...

...one with 18's but it was a different color - gold - which I didn't care for.

Yeah, I got my car in CT and was able to get the 18" RS6 rims on mine, but they were hard to find but one dealer offered to swap teh 17" for the 18" if I would buy teh car...

Yes, they'll fit. Nice wheels, but a little pricey imo.

Default i'd like to be the first...

to offer to adopt the wheels that the car is wearing now when you make the upgrade. i'd even be interested in swapping a set of oem 16" 2.7t wheels (plus cash of course) if you intend to keep a set around for foul weather wheels - "minus one" is never a bad idea for that purpose. shoot me an email if you think that you may be interested... now or later. thanks, and take care. rob.

ps... i DO very much like the wheel in question - as a direct reply to the question that you actually were asking. r.

Default They're nice but....

look very difficult to keep clean. Thin openings to fit fingers/brushes into, nooks and crannies to trap dirt and brake dust. They are nice...
