Should I buy a set of 18" Swings I found for the A4? I've never actually seen them on one before.

Default Should I buy a set of 18" Swings I found for the A4? I've never actually seen them on one before.

I found a set of perfect 18" Swings for sale & am thinking of getting them. My wife needs new wheels/tires for her TT, so I was thinking of putting my (dual drilled) BBS SX's on her car & putting new wheels on the A4. That way I can still keep the SX's incase I ever want to switch back.

The pics on the cars mounted are not the actual wheels for sale, but the unmounted pics are the actual wheels.

From the ad "Genuine Audi OEM wheels in like new condition. These wheels were never run on a car and are straight and true with no curb rash. They have been freshly powder coated factory silver color and are in near perfect condition!"

The offset is high so I'd have to use spacers (which I have, but am not thrilled about using). But I only drive a few miles per year, so no biggie maybe.

I have negotiated the price down to what I think is fair, just unsure if I want them or not. I think they are rare &amp; cool, but kind of plain. What do you think? Opinions please...

Your going to need spaces to not make it look as silly as they do on that A4.
