Thanks for sharing, we can never have enough pictures of RS6's with different wheel set ups. I personally like the way they look in the second picture
Very nice!
Das ist sicher nett !
Beefy. They really fill out the look nice on your wagen.

Thanks guys for the positive feedback! I really like it too and I guess that it's one of the first RS6 with these wheels.
@4everRS: 20s C6-RS6 look awesome too; I knew two cars with these wheels but both of them are sold as far as I know.
Another picture without any skills (neither the cellphone-cam nor the one who used it have got any) - straight of my facebook mobile uploads:

I'm interested in knowing this also. And, what is the offset?Originally Posted by chrisaudi4.2

These are standard 9x20 with an offset of 26 (all numbers are in the metric system, I don't know how this differs from the imperial system)
I actually tried to install them without spacers but this doesn't work because the caliper has an additional rod from one end to the other as seen in this image:
The wheel touched this rod and it was impossible to mount.
Nobody really knew what this rod is for; the RS4 B7 has no such thing installed (in most cases, as the pic above seems to be from an RS4 according to it's file name) despite the rest of the braking system seems to be identical to the RS6.
Therefore I had to install 5mm discs to get an appropriate distance from the rim to said rod (it's about 1.5-2mm, so really pretty close, but it works just fine).
So all over all it now has an offset of 21. I had the standard wheels with offset 35 and 15mm discs which resulted virtually identical.
I installed 255x30x20 tires (Hankook Ventus S1 Evo) and they were really hard to mount on the wheels (we had a pressure of 4 bar / 60psi during the process and the tires hardly popped out) but they fit perfectly. On maximum steering lock the tires slightly touch the inner part of the wheel housing but this is no problem at all.
I had the same with my 255x35x19 I drove last year.
It's really close as you can't get the wheels further away from the braking system without modifying the fender.^
I parallel parked the car today and as I was returning from the gym and walking up to the car from the back and a bit from the side, it really looked brutal as you don't see where the wheel is mounted, you just see the crossings (basically like the fourth pic above, just a bit less from the side). This gives the car a very wide look, and yes, I love it more from day to day!
