Default ADR M-Class Rims?

<center><img src="http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j101/immacuminu/ADR-42%20M-Classics%20Chrome/Img0428.jpg"></center><p>So what's the scoop on these rims? R they decent quality?
Anybody own a set?
Will they look good on my 04/A6/2.7t

Also they 20" will they fit?
they have chrome and hyper silver...

leaning towards chrome since i do have chrome window trim, mirrors ect...

here's a pic of the chrome ones... set priced at $430+$250... shipped

Default 20"?? Don't do it.

The original rims and tires designed for the car were 16", with a 17" optional "Sport" setup.

Each time you step UP in rim size, you are stepping DOWN in your tire sidewall. You will compromise your ride quality at each step.

I think you should stick with something in 18". 20's will bend way too easily.

These are the rare polished aluminum ones they made. Not the chrome-over-steel.

Packed in the original boxes, ready to go.

Default You get what you pay for. At that price they will be OK at best and will look fairly rough....

after a couple of years use.

As others have said, they will also be prone to damage so buy 5 so you have a spare - you will never be able to get another single rim in 6 months time, let alone a year or two!
