Weather is starting to cool down so I might aswell think of getting set for the cold stuff.

No, I have the cloth mats but the salt from my winters is pretty bad so I'd prefer to pull them and find a rubber substitute.

The OEM audi rubber mats are best.

Who is best to order them from? Will C5 A6 mats fit or is there a specific RS6 set?

These will not fit properly. Audi lists the monster mats part number of ZAW179005BLK for the 2003 RS6. This is a set of four
rubber mats. our price 101.48. They only come in black.

I've got the rubber all-weather mats, and they'll surely capture rain and slush. I'm in the opposite boat - I'd like to buy a set of basic carpet mats, which I hope are quite plush/luxurious...

x2...the C5 A6 4.2 rubber mats from Audi are sweet. Perfect for winters.
The OE A6 4.2 carpeted mats are nice too...the best mats I've seen are the ones from www.hoica.de (http://www.hoica.de) but I paid way to much for them to get them over here. :)

I also have the OEM Audi all-weather rubber mats. I love 'em -- nice deep grooves that capture water, mud, slush, or whatever. I leave them on year-round. (It was either that or ask peeps to take their shoes off before they get into my car!)

I love my OEM All weather mats. i keep them in all of my cars all year around. Rain, snow, sand.. works wonders for anything you throw at them.

Yep, got the all weather mats with my car, just great! And if people track to much in they get banned from the car, three strike rule in effect....

The OEM audi rubber mats are best.
I hadn't been very happy with the OEM rubber mats as they don't conform very well on the transmission tunnel side. I usually noticed a bit of water and dirt on the carpet on that side, outside of the rubber containment zone. So I had the detailer put some of that "pre-delivery" film over that area to protect it during the most recent winter. It worked great and I plan to repeat it again this year and onwards.

If you dont like the OEM A/W mats try and see if weathertech will make a set for you but I am happy with mine. i like the design, styling and fitment so im ok with my OEm's. Yes you are right!! I NEED a trunk tray for my car asap. Maybe i can talk to weathertech about making one.

Some folks might get confused...the C5s with the V8s use different front mats than the 'regular' C5 cars.
A decent rear trunk mat (like a Weathertech) would def. be nice for the RS6...I have one in my allroad but the cargo net can't be used with it in place; no way to get at the metal hooks. No big deal really I guess.
