Default The good, the bad and the ugly

OK so lets start with the bad. It's pretty much winter and could snow any day.

The ugly is my winter rims compaired to my summer rims. First time I have had them on.

Before:


Now:


Ok maybe they arent THAT bad for winter rims.

Now for the good:
When I bought the car the guy told me they were RS4 rims. Me know knowing anything about rims, I never asked if they were reps. People have asked and all I had to go by was a $250 recipt for lock nuts that came with the car and me thinking who would put $250 worth of lock nuts on reps. Well rims are off and results are in, they are in fact OEM RS4 rims.

awesome summer rims! winter rims always look bad, but driving an Audi makes it a whole lot better.

Don't flame me for this but in my humble opinion, the RS4 rims suit your car much better than your summer wheels. Much cleaner lines and don't detract from the Blue.

The RS4 rims are my summer rims. I like them a lot better than the stock S4 rims. 19" RS4 rims would make for a hard ride in the winter and the tires would cost a fortune

The S4 stockers in the second picture are the winter rims I just put on.

Those are the Avus rims....and I love them, they also look great on the older models especially the C4's and type 44's.
If you really don't like them I'll trade you...I'm kind of a wheel so I probably have something you'd like.

Maybe next year I just got them balanced and on the car. I think I need something with more spokes. A set of 18" just like the 19" summers would be good but I like the OEM equipment (OEM rims).
