    TSW Bathurst vs. Forgestar CF10

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I looking into some new wheels size 20x9.0 ET35 for my MY16 (C7.5) S6. Right now I'm leaning towards the TSW Bathurst or Forgestar CF10. Does anyone have either wheel and could make a recommendation?

    TSW Bathurst vs. Forgestar CF10

    I was looking at both and ended up with the Bathurst at 21x10.5 all around with et 32 for my 16'a7. NO spacers needed. Fits amazing looks amazing couldn't be happier with them. I believe they were even cheaper then the cf10's. Here a pic for you.

    They're both nice wheels.. i see a lot of Audis with the bathurst and that can be good or bad depending on who you ask.
    I tend to stray away from what the masses do but the choice is obviously yours and you can't go wrong Aesthetic wise with either wheel.

    Bathurst. I have yet to see an Audi on the road with that specific wheel, and you're in a pretty rarely sighted car as it is.

    Looks amazing. What size tires are you running. This are the leading candidates for my summer set.

    Thanks for the recommendations. I looked a little closer at the TSW Bathursts and they don't come up for the MY16 S6 on the TSW wheel configurator. On Amazon/eBay I saw the 20x9 ET 35 with a 72mm bore. Do they also come with a 66.6 mm bore or would I need hub centric rings?

    For some reason they don't. My 16' a7 wasn't on there either but they fit perfectly. Ask " tireguy" in here he knows all!!!!

    Nice picture. In your build thread your wheels are gunmetal. Did you change color? Also, since the bore on the wheels is a little larger than our hubs, did you use hub centric rings?

    I'm going to side with Dave here....FORGESTAR > TSW in my experience. So many more options too. Yeah you may have to wait a bit for them, but that's life.

    Where did the TSW buyers get their wheels? I've contacted a few dealers and either i get no response or they are out of stock.

    thanks for the info, will check them out.

    anyone running 20 size? i'd rather go this route for summers, keeps the weight down as well.

    also, what tire sizes are you using. thinking about going 295/30/20 but with an ET of 25 in 20", it'll stick out 20m more which is a bit much i think. might keep it at 285/30/20

    Just ordered my TSW Bathursts from Sean at ModBargains. Great to deal with and cheapest price I could find. Wheels should ship early next week.

    has anyone used the 20x9 +35 TSW Bathurst on their RS7? I'm about to order bu I'm a little worried the 35MM offset will tuck too much under the wheel well and I want to be sure they will clear the caliper.

    Not a great offset for the RS7. I ran 20'x9.5" et 34 on my S7 and it was a terrible fit. WAY too tucked in. I used a 12mm spacer to get a perfectly flush fit.

    I'm looking at 21x10.5 et32 which seems to be a nice fit, about 8mm pushed out vs stock.
