Looks good with the polished lip. That thing sits really low, do you get any tire rub at all?

Not a fan of the purple but your S6 is what mine wants to be when it grows up and loses its roof racks.

Did you have any fender work done?

Yeah the color is a bit outlandish, but they seem to work well on the Porsche meteor grey......plus since they are three pc wheels, they can be broken down and powdercoated another color, should I really get tired of them.......I just wanted something besides black or silver (which they have been in the past) on dreary winter days.......
In the summer I run these: 20x10.5F;20x12R Kleemanns (et36).
The fenders and quarters had to be pulled....I only rub on the fender liners at full lock.....other than that, I have driven the car as far away as Boston (Patriots game) and it always see triple digits......

Neon green or orange painted rims , now that would be outlandish!

That allroad has a serious drop...I didn't think the OE level system would take such an extreme drop (I couldn't code mine to go below 25mms) ...unless he is running something other than the stock airbag system (?)

I'm having a 6-speed O1E European TDI swapped into mine since my trans shit the bed.

streets, how hard was it to shave the roofracks?

@ Mr. Rictus: I know you must drop the headliner to unbolt the roof rails, then weld the holes shut.

Update: got my 8 pot calipers and 2 pc rotors mounted up in time for FirstClassFitment:

I went out for a nice run and my son felt nature calling.......so whilst he was handling his business, I snapped a pic of the S6 ready to get at it again.
