A few years ago, I went with 20 x 9.5 with 275/30 (in my current picture); it was a very harsh ride with my Eibach setup. The suspension geometry wasn't designed for that large of a wheel, so handling and component wear suffer as a result. Went through bushings (and tires)very quickly. After about a year (and a broken spleen), I went 18".
20"s don't make sense on a C5 imho.
two more option before i pull the trigger!

Whatever you decide, go with a 1 piece flat face wheel, such as the first one you posted. Forged 1 piece..

But by using a 20", replacing the suspension and all the related components doesn't?

I drove an RS6 (speedtrapped's before he owned it) for 1.5 days and it had 20" BBS GT and KWV3 (set to stock?):
There were times where there were ripples in the road and we were turning; the sensation was like the suspension, in combination with the 20" and rubber bands for tires, wasn't even touching the road! More like skipping along the tops of the ripples, then the tires would catch and jar you back to the intended path/direction - meanwhile you would slide in the non-recaro seats...
The look is great.
The ride is not.

Love the Vorsteiner 104... like a superhuman version of the OEM ten spokes.
May be you should consider Black. I photoshoped these Stock Black C5 RS6 Rims onto my car. I kind a like that Racer look. What do you think?...................

That's what I was gonna do, but wanted to see what they looked like on a blue car.

I think they would look pretty good on a blue car also. I would seriously consider going that rout but I can't seem to find that Euro C5 Rim in a 19x9.5, only a 19x9 which is to narrow for my 275's which is the minimum tire width I like to run.....

I'm gonna keep the stock size tires. I think I will just powder coat these stock wheels when I can.

Just dropped my OEM 10 spokes off for gunmetal powdercoat. Will post pic when i get em back.
Sweet. Thanks.
