I've been looking for awhile for an affordable and lightweight wheel replacement for my RS6. I've seen the OZ Ultraleggera HLT's on many cars but haven't seen them on an RS6 before. I would want the 20's and have seen them for $500 a rim on tirerack.com but just wanted any other info or experience people have had with them. Any info on tracking down a used set would also be appreciated, or just any set of used aftermarket rims that are 19 or 20's, thanks!

I've seen that, not too bad looking though to be honest, I'm not hip to black rims :D

I'm not necessarily sold on the black ones either, they do make them in silver or gunmetal if thats your thing though, but most of all I like the low weight of this style

Oh ya, low weight and the price consideration make this a potential winner. OZ do make good rims.

do you think 20" will rub? Any reason why 19" over 20"?

I think 20" will fit but it'll affect the ride a bit. I'm toying with the idea of going to 19s myself and I have actually thought about those exact same OZs from tirerack!

I've also been looking at the TSW Estorils, they don't look too bad, are inexpensive and I like the look of deep dish rims in the rear as they are available in both 19x9.5 (3.5" lip) and 19x8 (1.5"lip)

I always understood that with AWD you need exact fitment in all four wheels??? 19.5" all around or 19.8" all around???

Manuel, as a friend explained to me, as long as your overalls are within tolerance (something like 5%), you can still have offsets.

The TSW Estorils do look pretty nice. Sort of like the sexed up OEMs that someone else had posted before.

So is getting 19x9.5 in the rear and 19x8 up front within tolerance? Sorry I'm not really sure what you mean by overalls. If they are fine, I'm most likely going to go that route and have the deep dishes in the back

By overalls I mean, tire ratio + rim size, i.e. 255/40-R18 = 18" +102mm = overall width 559mm, you can go within 5% of that. Though now that we're talking about it, will the width (i.e. 9.5 v 8) affect anything? THAT I don't know...

Thanks for the info I appreciate it. I would think the only negative of having a different width would be not being able to rotate your tires
