First and third wheel are the same arent they? They are what I like on them. Standard on the s-line? Nice and OE, seen a few with aftermarket wheels and I didn't like them at all, looked odd. The lines and curves of the car makes the wheel choice a make or break for me. Nice wheel and they look very well, crap wheel and looks sh1te.

No, they both are different. The first one is the A4 Twist and the third on is the 2022. The third one is my fave, it has much more of a twisted spoke, and your right about the standard look. Now, would you go 18'' or 19''?

Depends what your after and what else your doing I feel. You lowering the car?
18" look very well but the 19" do too. The B6 with 19" look too bit but the B8 takes them well.

Lowered a little on 18" would be my choice. Would like to see and s-line on 19" though. I'm a sucker for big wheels.

I do plan to lower it, but not to much, a little lower than the s-line. For day to day living 18'' would prob be better.

The kit that was fitted to those A4s was the 30/45 option. Leaves the car sitting nice and flat.

They cost €256 with the VAGdriver discount.

Would you have them in stock?
My back shocks need to be replaced. Would you have sports shocks to suit?

They look great! How much did they set you back, and where did you get them?
