Default Tire rack....

No wheel and tire packages under a grand? maybe one...next lowest priced $1500... 2000 a6 2.7t trying to find wheel and tire packages...I saw several on edge racing...I guess you only sell the $300 plus range. Which is pretty weak. Whats on the site is all you have or is there more to the story? My family and I have bought almost all our tires in the past from you.

Default what size wheel are you looking for? I found it very difficult to find a decent 18" wheel under $275

a peice when i was looking over the winter. Especially wheels that clear the brakes on the 2.7T (difficult to clear) or for those of us that have BBK's.

Don't forget to check out Velocity Motorings wheels selection and Actuning/Hartman's wheel selection.

Yes, the site has our complete list which is limited somewhat due to the large brakes on the 2.7T.

Default Be realistic. Let's assume your looking at a 17" wheel wtih 225/45/17 tires.

The tires alone will cost you a minimum of $100/ea for anything decent. So that's $400 right there. So you want 4-17" wheels for less than $600. That would make the wheel less than $150/ea. Not many choices out there in that price range that would have the correct fitment. With the weight of an A6, I probably wouldn't want to run anything in that price range because they would be almost certain to give on your first decent sized pothole.

I think $1500 is probably a bit more reasonable.

Default yup...

He may be able to find something from Ronal - massive/heavy, but at least relatively strong. I'm not sure what they run, but probably under $200/piece.

FYI, I believe 235/45/17 would be the correct tire size for the A6.
