    Proper Introduction - New RS6 owner

    I've been registered on RS6.com for a few months now and have been asking the occasional question as I have been educating myself about these amazing cars. All the while, I've been watching the for-sale listings like a hawk and even made a couple offers on a few RS6s. Finally I made a deal with an Audi enthusiast that is replacing the RS6 with a Q7 to accommodate a growing family.

    On to the details: Pearl Black with Ebony. Only option is the SE exhaust. It has custom HRE 546R wheels. It also has the K-40 radar/laser detection system with a front laser jammer.

    Based on what I see on this forum, I already developed a mod list

    I think that car was advertised up in the NE for several months. The ad had poor pics but I remembered the wheels. I like the looks of the wheels.

    I don't think the previous owner was ever on this forum. The car was for sale for several months and was listed a few times on autotrader. The asking price was high and the seller was in no hurry to unload the car, so it didn't move very fast.

    The picture was taken at Dutchess County Airport. Near Poughkeepsie, NY. I look forward to an RS6 get-together - count me in.

    Thanks, I think HRE makes very nice wheels. On the verge of being too boy-racerish. I think they make other people want to race me on the street.

    The right set of wheels make these cars pop and get noticed. Yep, you were right that the price was too high but hopefully the car was very clean and you ended up with the ride. Take more pics!

    Dont choose a reflash yet. I will have some news to report very soon. ;-) Pat-you shut up about it. Dont say anything yet.

    RS6 to Q7 LMAO....

    I sat in the Q7 and found the third row a complete JOKE....and the rear seat offers little over the rear of the RS6!

    Welcome....

    Perfect wheel fitment. Do you have 255/35/19s?

    I really appreciate proper fitting wheels on the RS6.
