Any opinions on these wheels for 2.7T? It's hard to find a nice looking wheel to fit over the brake

I like them. They are not the typical wheel we see on A6.

If they would fit I like them. Nice lip, and would look agressive with a low stance on the car.

Default Since 4driver4 has not mentioned it, find the lightest and strongest 17s you can find....

BBS has some nice choices there. If you have some money to spend, the BBS RGRs are very nice, forged construction (strong), lightweight, and very nice looking.

Of course, I did not follow that advice since I wanted 18" wheels for the 4.2. However, I at least stuck to the strong and light requirements. I decided on monoblock forged (strong), and light (18 lbs) Volk wheels for my ride...coming soon!!!

I would verify that they will clear the calipers, just looking at it I'm thinking no way
