Summer is closing in - RIMS + TIRE advice
So I am done with my all season tires on my stock 16" and will be getting into two wheel set up from now on. stock 16" for winter with some tires and aftermarket 18" for summer with tires.
Problem is I dont know what to get in terms of tires ?? I can narrow down in rims choice but tires are hard - so many kinds,brands,specs ......
Lets start with rim - have top 5 picks ( all gunmetal )
1. Enkei FN-18 LINK
2. OZ Superturismo LM LINK
3. Volx GTM LINK
4. 5Zigen PRORACER ZR+520 LINK
5. Borbet LV5 LINK
If you guys have any input on this list please let me know. Better,worst,value,performance and so on....
If you have anything else to suggest please do - open to something else as well
Well this takes care of rims - tires are totally different story here. I will ask you gentlemen on this topic. What would you suggest for any of rims above in tires combination. I have never owned any summer rims so I will have to read up a little on them
Thank you very much for any suggestions !!!

Hello!
Personally with the colour of your A4 i think something like this done in your personal body colour would look good, instead of red its possible for you to have them done in your colour. the rim lining on the outside of the following image is to much however if it were black and the accenting in along the rim were blue you'd have a winner

or the red inserts paint them body colour

this gives a very refined and custom look without going over the top that a lot of rims manage

Very interesting idea mate !!!
I looked into this suggestion and found something interesting ...
Check this out !!!
They come in white,red, and blue !!
off set is 33 i think but it could be fixed no problem i think. Just have to find out if they make them in 5x112
What do you think !!!

i think those look great, but in the end their still not personal i like the sutle use of colour. if in the future you got these if their not close to body colour you could do it or have it done, something like this was where i was going with rims.
to also make it your own something inexpensive would be to get a spare set of lug nuts and paint them the same blue or body colour this would add just a little bit of your own style onto these aftermarket rims, isnt difficult and i guarantee no one else will have done or at least the chance of you ever seeing the same car, same rims with the same idea is low.
