That is beautiful.

We need more pix. What suspension are you running. What are all the correct specs of the wheels (width, offset)?
Real awesome.

beautiful!
the silver lining in the rim balances with the silver mirror and the chrome around the windows. imagine that beast passing right in front of you at night as your head lights are shinning on it... the sliver linnings is what you will see.
very nice.

This car is incredible!:eek:

The colour of the car featuring the rims painted the same colour, it looks unusual, but veeeery hot!

I like it, powerful cars need powerful colours!:rs6kiss:

At least no silver understatement RS6

For those that ask, the R series wheels have a reverse drop center, so that the lip is flat. The standard 540 series have a front drop center (like the stock wheels). This makes the front lip have a buldge towards where it attaches to the centers. The R series look cool with a flat lip but have one major downside. They trap water between the centers and the reverse buldge and this causes the car to shake in heavy rain. I have a set of 449R painted black for my wife's S6 Avant. Her only complaint is the horrible shaking in the rain. I purchased 547 wheels with high polish for my RS6, and decided against the drop centers. I choose 19 inch for my car and 18 for my wife. It is a compromise with the horrible michigan roads.

Thanks for the compliments......
the ride is a little more harsh than stock but the look is alot more aggressive, for me, the trade-off is worth it.
I installed H&R springs only and have no issues with rubbing. I paid $7,500 for the wheels and tires.
By the way....car is for sale if anyone is interested...only 2,900 miles.

In addition, the reverse lips also have another downside. They bend more easily due to the lack of support, especially when you have big lips on the wheels. I strongly recommend looking into 840R series rather than 540's. The hidden bolt construction looks much cleaner on any audis. :)

I think the 549īs fit the RS6 much better, the spoke design is more exclusive, while the 540īs are more sportive!
