6 Spoke OEM 17" rims >>
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/52356/2002_audi_tt_3386_-_004.jpg"></center><p>This guy is offering $350 for about 5 yrs old with curb rash... was thinking of changing my fat 5's 17" for these...but then the 6 spoke is heavier and $350 is not a good price....any input?
Thanks,

Don't get them
Personally, I hate the fat 5s but I hate the old 6s too. A big problem with the older OEM 6s like those you are considering is that they have a convex spoke dsign that is VERY prone to curb rash. There are many nice aftermarket rims avaiable for about $500/set.

These rims cost me less than $120 each.

Are they the "nicest" in the world? Obviously not. Do they look really good? I think so. There are great values out there on wheels that look really good. Keep looking.

Hey, nice car!
As you can see from the sig though, I replaced them but not because of the way they look. One was messed up when I avoided an accident thus making them "beater" rims. It was a great excuse to upgrade. They are extremely heavy and not worth upgrading to them IMO. I'm sure you can pick up something similar that weigh a lot less if you like them that much.

i agree on the minor changes to the finish of the wheels
however, i think 17" is perfect...if only they were 8" wide
17x8" with a brushed/gunmetal look would be great (makes me want to buy a set of A6 "fat fives" and have them redrilled to 5x100)
