OEM Rim upgrade for b6 A4?
 
Im loving the new A4!
Id like to upgrade to some 19" rims though. Are there any stock audi rims from another model that will fit?

I did some Googling for 19" OEM wheels myself a couple weeks ago. These guys have a good selection of replica OEM wheels in larger sizes, including 19". I especially like the Anniversary wheels.

A service shop I frequent with my Saab recommended purchasing OEM replica wheels from Hartmann. The owner said that their wheels are of extremely good quality, and mentioned something about them being made by the same company that makes actual OEM wheels for a couple different European manufacturers.

I mean, they're not exactly OEM, but most people wouldn't be able to spot the difference.

I hope this helps!

Because of drive-ability or because they wont fit right? Im sure ive seen an a4 around town pushing 20's...
I haven't been to audizine yet so Ill check that out. If I bought some that way though I would want to buy within Canada.

As far as i know, for that size you need to mod your fender and rear quarter panel.

Just checked that hartmans site.
Real nice rims & pretty good prices!
So would 20's from a Q7 fit onto the A4?

Re: OEM Rim upgrade for b6 A4?
 
im not sure about that, i know that the width on a4 is generally 8.5" inches in width max without any mods. The other one im not sure about, it depends on the tires you get also,

Re: OEM Rim upgrade for b6 A4?
 
Well I don't plan on cutting up my fenders so I guess Ill have to work with that

19 inch is not too big. Wont rub if you get the proper tires. If you want OEM check out B7 RS4 rims.

Re: OEM Rim upgrade for b6 A4?
 
Yeah those are nice!
I just figure that oem rims will be more cost efficient..

OEM will cost more than any replica. Find a set of VMR they are highly rated and have many nice models to pick from. Also watch the for sale section. I've been paitently waiting for a set of VMR's.
