    Thinking about new rim setup

    Thinking about putting those on my 2004 black audi, I will be getting new tires in about 6 months, any thoughts on this rim?

    Do it, those looks nice. Are you going to change the suspension?

    I dont think I am, I am going for a stock look except for the rims which are scraped and very heavy

    Leave the black wheels for the ricers these would look better in any other color

    Not a huge fan of black wheels especially on a black car. They usually are two different shades and look stupid. Get some silver or machined wheels.

    Anthracite is a dark gray...not black.

    Im a fan of black on black, but I think an A6 would go better with the second set of wheels. You really should consider lowering it though. Do it right and the ride will be fine and it will look a lot better closing the wheel gap.

    Might want to give them a try. I bought 2 sets of tires with $100 rebates on each set last month. I know they have 4-wheel incentive deals going on now. I found what I wanted on their ebay store & watched the items until they ran a special. Could be worth a look.
