    Re: Who has 20" rims on their C5 A6/S6/AR?

    I have 18's with a sport suspension and at times I hate how harsh it rides, now 20's I wouldn't really expect that great of a ride quality. Looks good though

    Re: Who has 20" rims on their C5 A6/S6/AR?

    I have some 20's on order, so don't have any feedback in terms of ride quality for you as of yet. But i'll let you know when I get them mounted in a few weeks. And why are you inquiring about it after you already bought the wheels? :) You'll be finding out soon enough! Let's see some pics when you get those bad boys on there... what's the width and offset?

    Re: Who has 20" rims on their C5 A6/S6/AR?

    I have a C5 with 18's and it's pretty damn harsh with my suspension setup. Definitely wouldn't want 20's. I think they'll also look silly because they will be way too big for the wheel wells. Personally, I think 18" looks the best (see frank's A6).

    I saw B5in's AR at MWDF in person.
    20"s looked real good.

    Re: Who has 20" rims on their C5 A6/S6/AR?

    Well I retract my statement. At first I thought you meant a C5 A6 which I think most here would agree wouldn't look too good.

    On the allroad they look pretty good in that shot.

    They're used but has no dent whatsoever. It just has small scratches here and there.(that's what the seller said; on supersized image, i couldnt find any dent/scratches.)

    They're Asanti AF-118 3-piece forged rims =)

    Re: Who has 20" rims on their C5 A6/S6/AR?

    i dont have 20's on my allroad, but i WILL. waiting for spring to get tires and mount them up :) it would be a long winter to wait to mount them, but there will be white stuff to play in that will distract me just fine!

    those wheels look really nice. dont forget to post some photos for us all when you get them mounted!

    Do I need 20mm or 25mm spacers?


    W/ 20mm:
    The clearance from stut housing to the inside of the wheel will be 7mm LESS
    The outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 19mm


    w/ 25mm:
    The clearance from stut housing to the inside of the wheel will be 2mm LESS
    The outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 24mm

    20'' are nice and they do look great , but that size is way too big and heavy for an audi no matter which audi you got. remember we are suppose to put less weight on ours audi

    I had 20" D'vinci Vento wheels on my 4.2. The ride was to harsh for my taste, and the height adjustment having them on drove me nuts. So i took them off about a month later. But those tires you picked up look pretty slick

    Well I honestly doubt that these 3-piece forged asanti's are super heavy so I doubt it's an issue. The 20's that I ordered are only 28lbs which is not very heavy for a 20" wheel considering the stock wheel is only w/in a few lbs of that.

    Each wheel weights approximately 20 lbs and ~50 lbs including the tire.

    I'll weigh them once I get them. But according to FedEx, each package (4) weights 50.9 lbs.

    Stock twin spoke wheel + tire weights ~52 lbs.

    I'd say they're considerably lighter than stock wheels since they're 3 inches bigger in diameter and an extra 1 inch wider in width.

    20" X 8.5" compared to 17" X 7.5"


    Funny thing is that Asanti rep. told me that each wheel weights 45 lbs.
    Apparently, they lied to me.

    I'd rock 20's with the right style wheel.

    I have 19's right now with 35 series tires with aftermarket suspension, and the ride is nice. *shrug*
