Default Welcome fellow NJ A6er....

First, what year and engine do you have? On the A6, that makes the difference on what wheels you could have. For examble, I am very limited on my 01 2.7T to wheels due to the HP2 brakes.
Next... the A6 is more classy and stealth than the A4, so you do not want to go crazy with the wheels. IMHO anything BBS looks killer in 18" on these as well as the two different RS6 style wheels in 18". I would not go 19" (especially living in NJ). There are a few people on here with the A8 wheels. That is not my style, but then again, everyone has their own taste.
Also... if you do not have the sport package or a different suspension, put the money there first. If not, 18" wheels will make the car look like an Allroad.
As far as the package to look like a C6....ummm there is one out. Not really a look I care for, but then again, everyone's taste is different. Run a search or look back a couple pages here to see pics.

Default keep you C5 looking like a C5, that is a classic styling, no need to change it up...

also, welcome to this board. What part of NJ you from? 19s would look good, but might be risky in the tri-state area.

For wheel ideas, check some hartmann wheels (nice, good-quality Audi replicas).

Default Hmmm... Holley..... do you have family in Hempstead, LI... Your

facial features resemble some other holleys that I know there.... and as far as the rims go... I am about to change out my chrome, and am in the process of finding something else non-chrome. You may want to do the same... ;-) And as far as the size "I" wouldnt get anything larger than 18x8.5....

Default Welcome! Some nice wheels here. Is yours a 2000-2001 2.7T?

If so you want the "fits B5 S4" check, to fit over the HP2 calipers.<ul><li><a href="http://www.hartmannwheels.com/site/audi.php">http://www.hartmannwheels.com/site/audi.php</a</li></ul>
