    Ha ha... I was reading this thread un-logged in, and got this sweet google banner at the top of the page. Skynet is smart enough to know we're talking about rims, but apparently can't distinguish between rims and riyuhmzz. That blade on the left would make an excellent choice for any performance vehicle, preferably in 22" and financed at 34% apr.



    But seriously, speed's BBS look pretty sweet... great choice for somebody with actual roads to drive on.

    I almost got em last year.

    8.5s have too much backspace and you would need to run spacers.

    9.5s have perfect fitment but the best tire choice would be 275/30/19s and there is just not enough sidewall for my setup at stock DRC. Too much wheel gap

    The 9.5s are best for you with the coilovers but will the 275s give you enough sidewall for comfort?

    It depends on the tire and are they the 35mm backspace?

    255/35/19s for tires? If so, which tires? Are they the proper XL rated tire?

    Its not that great a deal. The rims are like 900 and ?? for the tires that are on them.

    Will they fit? Yes

    Is it the proper backspace? No

    You will need spacers to reach proper fitment on the 8.5/35mm. IMHO a perfect fit? No way.

    fair enough, I was uder impression the v710 were a little more, the potenza are xl rated....my bbs alone need new tires, i was quoted 250 a piece(potenza), i dont want the bbs, and would have to spend 1k on tires, so maybe offer him 1300.00

    Which is why I detailed my answer on the 8.5/35mm

    The 9.5/33mm is a known fitment on the RS6 and I almost went with them but again with the 275/30s(also a known fitment) I felt the fender gap would be too much on a stock DRC ride height. This was very subjective and while the overall tire diameter was not much less the visual aspect ratio of tire sidewall to fender gap opening was off in my mind. It made the fender gap look huge.

    Do the 9.5/33 rims fit the RS6 perfectly? I would say yes with the right tire but the visual turned me off with stock DRC ride height. Dropped or with coilovers? It would look awesome.

    Hi, new to the forum, I got my beast about 5 months ago, read a few of the handy tips on this forum, (vag-com codes for convenience windows). I am looking to get new rims also. I wish that i could find a replacement for the ones that i have right now, 19x8.5 oetteinger rz. one of them is bent, so i may have to get a new set, but im looking for something similar. Every rim shop that I go to explains to me that "what I need is this set of chrome 20s". any suggestions for a clean 2 piece 5 spoke?
