Thanks to Kevin and Sam at Imola Motorsports in Minneapolis, MN!... They were very patient, informative and knowledgable during the selection process and quite diligent measuring fitment and calculating spacer and tire size. I am very pleased with the look and function---we were a bit concerned large spacer's would induce wobble/vibration. None. Perfect. Also, glad they conviced me to pony-up extra coin for Michelin PS2's---these tires really are worth the extra cost!

I think the wheels update and compliment the C5 wide-body styling... Ironically, Imola had another RS6 in for service while mounting my wheels/tires today... So, I took the liberty of taking some pics of the two side-by-side.

For whatever reason, I am not able to see the pictures.

I can see them now.

The wheels look fantastic! Great pics!

Looks fantastic, and really does update the whole car. I've been looking hard at VMR 710s as a replacement if I decide to change wheels.

[4everRS]

Looks awesome Greg! Fitment seems perfect from the pics. Can't wait to see it in person.

How much were the PS2's?

How much were the PS2's?

About $320 each and $75 shipping for a total of around $1350/set delivered... I've used Conti Extr Cont all-seasons for the last 210k miles on my 2001 A6 4.2L sport due to the MN climate and road conditions... They were around $600-700 delivered for a set. So, to spend 2X as in the past, I had high expectations---they've been met!

BTW, the tires are PSS-----NOT PS2's as posted initially...

[JSRS6]

Well for next time, contact me first. I want to say that BuffaloRS6 got his for 250 each in 275/35/19. not sure if that was with shipping and tax. but shipping and tax is 80 for 4 tires through my hookup. And i was about to say, the tread looked like PSS's. Best summer performance tire I've driven, hands down. Have them on my car now.

4.2Crew, great overall fit and the car looks very good. I have the VMR 710's with 265/30/19 and I worry a little about the wheels getting damaged.

I think the 35 profile for the 265's is dead right and with the increased sidewall and less speedometer error.

My sentiments exactly... Was also worried about ride quality as a daily driver with the 30 profile tires. That being said, the 35 profile PSS's yeild an amazing ride for the low-profile geometry!... Ride is similiar to the 255/40/18 Conti Ext Cont all-season's on oem's now designated as the Winter set-up.

The new look was precisely what I was trying to achieve... More updated, slightly more aggressive, still somewhat understated while maintaining elegant styling...
