My winter wheels are the same except they are gunmetal for the October-to-March blacked out look.
I'll wait a little bit before putting the summer wheels back on the TTS. But, turns out this is where I tend to go as soon as I put summer rubber back on. Here the Avant two years ago...
Sorry to post an A4 in the TT forum. :-)

The dealer is also pricing out a set of Hartmann HRS6-091-MA:M's. I guess they carry them. They would be 19" and I'd get them to mount DWS's. A little more spendy than the A4's, but a LOT more what I was looking for.

I am looking at pretty much the same wheel and tire combo for my TTS. A few questions...
1. Do you like the wheels? Balanced properly first time? No centering rings, right?
2. How do you like the DWS tires? I am interested mainly in comfort over harsh streets and tire noise that intrudes into the cabin.
3. What do you think about a 255/19 size tire. It's 26" diameter versus 25.8 for the 245/19. Would that size tire cause any issues?

>> The wheels look great, the dealer set them up perfectly. I would say that the Hartmann's are very good quality, and pretty indistinguishable with OEM. No spacers/rings.

>>I've had DWS's on my A4 for years, and they were great on the TTS. I've only driven the TTS with the DWS, so I can't compare cabin noise. The TTS was a lot noisier than my A4 and Q7... so it's hard to say. The DWS tires have quite a following on AudiWorld.

>>I am not qualified to answer. I just use what Tirerack tells me to.
(Edit: So, did you go for the Silver TTS???? Well done!!)

Thanks for the feedback! It helps. And FYI, I found an even better TTS...a red one! I will post my purchase adventure soon.
Oh, one more question...when ordering and assembling the new wheels/tires, do I need to anything with tire pressure TPMS? There are no sensors in the Audi wheel, right?
