Neither in my opinion does Audi's discreet and classy design any justice. Please do not tarnish our favorite brand with this type of additions...

Welcome! Sweet car you have - enjoy it.

The 5 twin-spoke is just OK, IMO. The rivets/bolts detract from the look.

NOT a fan of the other wheel at all.

Mr. G Kim - wrong wheels for this car. Would suggest different wheels for your car (See Audi) or different car for your wheels (Brabus, Cosworth etc...).

Welcome. Nice car. I love the sound of the V10.

I think any of these wheels would look great and the S6 could use some spiffying-up. The 8-spoke is my favorite. If you do size-up, would you sell me your 19's?

Put on 20'' Audi S8 wheels or the new MTM 20" Forged Bimoto wheels.

lol@fast lane. There are a number of rims that we've been discussing for the past several weeks that look hot. The 360 Degree carbon fiber one was real nice.

Hi G,

I speak of experience on this subject. Like you I own a 2007 S6 in silver. Like you after awhile I found the 19" Rims too small for my liking. I wanted to stay with an OEM Audi rim from the Audi Collection. Yes, they are more expensive, but they maintain that Audi look as everyone says above. At first, there were no 20" rims that Audi had that I thought would look decent. The A8 series rims for the W12 and S8s looked to hollow for the S6 and I felt they would be lost on the car.

However, I attended the LA Auto Show, and the S8 was sporting these new 20" rims that looked similar to the current 19" S6 rims but had more lip. I cannot tell you the part number, but you can find them on the S8 in the new current brochures and at audiusa.com under models (go to the S8). I'll try to get you the info. Anyway, you also must watch your offsets. Interestingly the 19" have higher offsets than the 20" rims from the S8 so the 20" rims fit nicely. Well, I put these rims on and they look amazing, like the way the S6 should have had in the first place. I recommend that you investigate this route first and see if you like it. I'll try to get you more info and post it. Plus, I know they will fit. I put on the following tires:

<TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=2 width=480 border=0><TBODY><TR><TD class=searchheadnew>Sumitomo HTR Z II
for 2007 Audi S6 Sedan

</TD><TD class=searchhead2new></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE><TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=2 width=480 border=0><TBODY><TR vAlign=top><TD>
Size: 275/30ZR20

They are max performance tires so I get excellent grip with a very smooth ride.

Anyway, the car looks great with this tire and wheel package and gets even more stares than before.

Good luck.

thanks ..i will think about that ..!


Here is the information:

Part Number: 4E0601025BD 20" Rims

20" Rim:

Offset: 45 mm

Bolt Pattern: 5/112

Stock S6 19" Rims:

Offset" 52 mm

Bolt Pattern: 5/112

I tried to find a picture, but no luck so far. With the part number (if in the US) you can go to your Audi dealer and have them look it up. They might have them sitting on an S8. They come directly from Inglostadt so it may take a week or so to get unless they have them (which I doubt)
