I took what seemed like forever to decide what I wanted to do for new summer wheels for the RS6.
At first I thought I would show Audi, which never offered their 19 inch wheels here in the states, by getting those wheels sent over from Europe. some have gone that route.
Next, I looked at the HRE wheels, which are great wheels, but I didn't think I wanted the 2 piece wheel look.
I did want a 5 spoke wheel, which ruled out the MTM biMoto wheel. Great company, great wheel, just not what I wanted.
So I opted for the Abt Sportsline wheel. Sourced them through AMS (Advanced Motorsport Solutions) in Carson, CA. It is the Abt SP1 wheel, 8.5x19 ET32.
Not cheap at $700 per wheel, but I love their looks. I will use Conti Sport Contacts 2 (a Nordschliefe recommendation), on these wheels, to be mounted in the springtime.
I have photos of the wheels, but couldn't attach them, the jpg files are too large. They can be seen on the Abt site.
