Default 2000 A6 4.2 Wheels

I have a 2000 A6 with the 4.2L V8, it is a DTM model if that helps anybody. I ruined a wheel on a pothole and need to get a new one. Can anyone tell me the offset/recommend any wheels to me? Any help would be much appreciated.

Your wheels may have the part number and the other pertinent information stamped on the inside spokes. That may include the offset (usually after "ET"). Once you have that information, do a search on google.

As an alternative, there are several places that do wheel straigtening. If you're in the USA, one of the good options is Wheel Collision Center in Bath, PA;

There were both 17 and 18" wheels available. The 16" one which i have are 16 x 8 x 35mm offset. There were also 17 x 8 x 35mm. Offset is important to clear the brakes and suspension uprights.
The info is on the wheel, generally under the lug cap. You cna also have them straightened. email me if need be

They are 18" wheels, my mechanic just got back to me saying the offset is 35. I plan on getting them straightened when I return home from school, i just need a wheel in order to get me back home. I appreciate the insight, thank you!
