20" wheels for the RS6

[Erik]

20" wheels for the RS6 waiting for 275mm tyres.
I can't remember all the details but they belong to Audi RS6 on the forum. Time to change to summer tyres!

This is the car.

Time is "running" still to slow. My car is on the way from Germany to Switzerland. - My “black beauty” with big paws. My wheels are similar also with 10 spokes but from Sportec.
The 20”/9” wheels are forged and very light. The preferred tires are the Conti Sport contact 255/30 but also 275/30 is possible (my order).

10 days to wait … and what a springtime!

:addict: I have tried to buy the Masitaly 20" wheels for all the UK distributors and they all say it doesn't exist. Tell me who exactly has them please. Also confirm that 275/30/20 is the same or equal as 255/35/19 please.

[Erik]

http://www.kiiltovaunu.com/masitaly.htm is just one of many Google links (Finnish).

It should be the Sagitta. Can't find any italian or english links, but I could probalby get them here in Sweden with one phone call.

If you have more specific questions I suggest you pm Audi RS6 on the forum. It's his rims on the picture and he already did the research.

Umm, 255/35/19 gives a sidewall height of 89.25mm.
275/30/20 has a sidewall height of 82.5mm, so the overall diameter would be approx a half inch more. 255/30/20 has a sidewall height of 76.5mm, so that would give you almost exactly the same diameter as the standard 255/35/19.

The Breyton (on the M3 Hamann ?) are the Magic Racing ones.
http://www.breyton.com

I saw them in 19" on a red RS4 in Germany, with mandatory spacers which made them stand slightly out the body and of the tires too (ouch, fragile).
Gave a mean look, it looked fantastic !!!!

And this is how the Breyton Magic Racing 20" looks on a supercharged 540iA Touring;

I own the mugello blue Avant from the beginning of this tread.
I have put wintertires of my std. 18" wheels.
I am still waiting for my favorit wheels Mas Sagitta 9.5x20 (I only
have two).
Until I get them I have mounted Ace Formula 10x20 ET 40.
Rear with 8mm spacers, front with 12 mm spacers.
Front it is really near the tire at inside.
I also had to trim the "corners" of the front brakecalipers.
The tires is Bridgestone S03 275/30-20.

Great look, but I wouldn't want to even hear about how HEAVY that setup is... Got to be close to 58 pounds/corner. Ouch! Lot of rotating mass right there. You weighed them? Looks really sharp, though! Nice ride, for sure.

Now that everyone has had some time with thier 19" and 20", can you please leave some feedback her for those of us who are still trying to decide? Some pitures too if possible!

Many thanks

[Erik]

RS6-Thomas could perhaps have gotten his 20" already. I'll check and hopefully return with some pics.

[Peter10]

Hi together,

because of the discussion RS6 wheels:

Have a look at: www.bb-automobiltechnik.de

For RS6 9,5"x20 with 255/30-20 Type "B3" in mutli-piece design with cross-spokes

Every rim includes a polished high-grade steel rim base. This provides the rim, apart from a shining optic due to its high stability, an up to now unreached everyday life fitness.

Advantages:
- the high-grade steel rims can bear a confrontation with i.e. guid rails of car-washes without lasting damages
- small scratches can be easily polished away and vanish totally

Incredible look! Do you have sufficient tire to fender clearance? Looks like they would rub if you ran over an ant's ass.

Soo cool!

:roll:

[Erik]

There will soon be a misano red RS6 Avant with Carlsson Racing 20"

I tried finding pictures of it without success. I guess I'll have to take my own. :D

[Johannes A.]

Hi Peter10 !

Thanks for your tip with B&B.

I spent a look on their homepage, but could not find any information concerning ridecomfort, whether there is a change noticeable in the way the car stirrs, and prices...

Do you have some more information on that, and do you have these wheels yourself ? Can you tell me some more about it ?

Would be nice to know...

[gnomik007]

I wonder if u were to install the 20" B&B wheels shown above,would u have to change the suspension or u can use the original set up.I mean would not the tire edge touch the bodywork as u go over bumps and stuff?And if anyone has more pics of B&B :addict: please let us see.

Great Thread, very Informative, but this post stands out well!

:hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi:

No one has gone with OZ superleggara IIIs?

:cheers:

[GoFastKindaGuy]

Search on OZ in this forum and you will find a pic of what I believe in 19 inch on an RS6.

I know the 18 inch do not clear the diameter.

[sturs6]

Yeah GoFast,
Itisme posted a picture of a daytona Gray with OZ's and they do look like 19's but that car may have spacers :confused:

[sturs6]

What do you guys think about these 20" Antera Type 343 silver alloy wheels ? A local tuner sent me the picture asking if I wanted to order a set but I personally do not like them.

Antera Wheels (http://www.kelseyphelps.com/rs611.jpg)

[gjg]

looks little pimpish to me ..... imho

[sturs6]

My thoughts exactly...
<a href='http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008' target='_blank'><img src='http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/10/10_1_15.gif' border=0></a>

[gjg]

on the other hand - if you paint the car pink ......

[sturs6]

I was thinking gold... no maybe more bronze...

<a href='http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008' target='_blank'><img src='http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/23/23_6_6.gif' border=0></a>

[gjg]

if bronze than the wheels must be gold plated .... :devil:

[nene]

Called HRE, and they said that 20" won't fit properly, as it seems they will rub. Anyone can confirm this?

So what set up would give u bigger diameter
255/35/19 or 255/30/20

I have found this very useful when trying to get the right tire sizes:

[jackal]

I would go for the Sportec at any day!!! and then maybe a little tun-up at Wimmer or MTM... :p

[audirs6sport]

honest, i don't think anyone should put hre wheels on their rs6. it's more of show off wheel set. BBS or OZ is the way to go!! =) unless u bought the beast to waste it's performance and go for straight show. :addict: :addict: :addict: :rs6kiss: :rs6kiss:

[gnomik007]

The more stuff I read about different rims,the more I get moved towards getting Kinenis K18R rims.They r light three piece forged rims with nice looking design and all the benefits of a true sports rims.For RS6 they make either 8,5 or 9 x 19.

That's exactly the look I'm going for.
The car won't see the track. It won't even see the drag.
But as I'm pimpin around town with all that power, I do want a lot more bling!

[audirs6sport]

kool. i still think it defeats the whole purpose of the car, but that's just my opinion. that pic with 20" lm looks soo pimped out. :rs6kiss: :rs6kiss: :addict: :addict: :thumb: :bow:

[Erik]

These 20" (from Audi) were on a new A8 in a recent exhibition in Copenhagen.
