Default Almost back in my hands

This dam ice/snow storm is killing me. They got her back from Audi and the only thing left is a final buff, wax, and clean up. The only problem is no on can get there to do it right now with the snow storm. It's killing me right now. A preview and more pictures to follow once I get her back. At least she has new front parts on her.

What kind/size of wheels are those? I would love to get some rs4s in 19 in size, 20s are a bit too harsh around chicago.

TS I love your grille. You kept it OEM (thank god), and you have the 08+ newer W12 chrome grille. I love the look of it. That was the last part that I wanted to update on my W12, but the cost and labor involved for me at the time wasn't worth it. If I ever got in a fender bender I would just have them order the 08+ bumper vs the 04-07

The wheels are RS4 replicas in hyper silver in 20x9 +35 offset with P275/35R20 Michelin Pilot Sport A/S+ tires. I really like the combo quite a bit. I like the hyper silver better than the stock machined/gunmetal combo.

I did want to keep it OE because I wanted a subtle mod that only people in the know would recognize. I liked the S8 bumper and the 08 W12 grill, which is the same as the S8 grill but it's black instead of gray. I thinks it's a good looking combo. I will also relocate the W12 badge from the rear door to the front fender. It will be done after the buff and wax.

Now I guess I will have to change my signature picture.
