    Pics of 21" OEM Summer Wheels

    Apologies if this is already referenced somewhere - tried searching 21" and 21 inch but didn't see anything.

    I'm thinking of going OEM 21" wheels (mainly to avoid sidewall bubbles from potholes in Toronto) and I'm having some trouble finding actual pictures of how the OEM 21" summers look. Could anyone post pictures?

    Bonus points if they're on Daytona Grey.

    Pics of 21" OEM Summer Wheels

    Here are some at factory height, and some lowered.

    Thanks! What were your views on the 21s? I think from these pics they look good lowered but a little gappy stock.

    While not stock wheels as you originally asked for, both setups are 21” and the ride is far preferable to the stock 22”. I downsized for multiple reasons, roads in the area/state and available tires/pricing being the top two.

    Agreed… I was pretty annoyed it didn’t go down 10 mm when put in dynamic like the RS7 and RS6s in Europe.

    I lowered 25mm at the dealer and the rear tucks a little. 20mm may be a good enough and you should get a better ride and you may not have to worry about parking spot bump stops. That being said I’d prob do 25mm again lol.

    I think my buddy’s with 22’s still have a gap tho as 22’s are only 3mm larger in diameter.

    Thanks for posting. I think those both look great, and are actually more proportional to my eye than 22" wheels. Are you lowered and did you increase sidewall or go with stock 21" sizing (which I think is 275/35R21)?

    Edit: I found your build thread and now see you are lowered. GREAT thread by the way; lots of useful info in there. Learned RS6 is difficult to PPF properly, IR sensor may break, and how to swap cabin air filter. Appreciate the time spend posting step by step pictures, etc.

    Also, your Orange is amazing. Makes me reconsider whether I should go back to an AE colour when I get the allocation.....

    Thanks, the entire car is really by design from my wife, I’m just the financial source for it . Color and wheels (summer) were her choosing. When they denied our original request for Volcano Red this option was offered to us by Audi NA.

    I'm so used to seeing 22'' wheels on RS6, and the 21'' wheels seem so "small"..

    I'm not biased at all but that may be the best exterior color available.
