    Wanna buy my OEM RS6 Snow Wheels/Tires?

    Gents,

    Since I no longer drive my beast in the snow, I figure I ought to sell my factory snow wheel set to make soom room in the shop. They were on my car for all of a few hundred miles. The wheels are perfect and the tires still have the little nubbies on them. If I cleaned them up and sat em' at the dealership, they could pass as new. I paid $2275 for the set, will sell for $1800 plus shipping.

    Cheers,
    James

    They are the Audi RS6 5 spoke snow wheel with Dunlop Winter Sport M3. These were offerd in limited quantity by Audi and made specifically for snow and specifically for the RS6.

    For those that have requested photos... This is the OEM RS6 snow wheel/tire combo that Audi brought to the US in very limited quantities. See part number below.

    Smaller tire for better grip in the snow.

    I'm asking $1800 plus shipping. All four wheels and tires are perfect. Absolutely NO curb rash or scratches. I only used them for a few hundred miles before I got a new truck which is now my snow vehicle.

    Whats the diffirence between the 5 spoke snow wheel and the regular 5 spoke RS6 wheel ?
    If there one in the same I would be interested in the wheels alone if someone wants the tires ?

    Size is the difference.
    Regular RS6 5-spoke in Europe is 19x9, while the ones sold with the Winter package are 18x8.5.

    The reason Audi chose a narrower wheel is simply because a narrower wheel performs better in snow. Less surface area allows the tire to cut through snow as opposed to a larger wheel floating on snow.
