Shouldn't we be getting the S6 soon? Also, shouldn't we be able to get those bad ass aluminum side mirrors from the dealer?

Saw an S8 flying down memorial yesterday. SWEET.
That has got to be one of the best looking Audis out. I'm considering in my mind to upgrade once my lease is up.

Another question. If I am able to ge those 5 spoke polished wheels from Brio. What size tires should I get to achieve maximum grip and nice road manners on my 2.7t?

Thanks for all your help and I love this board!

They tested braking, skidpad, interior noise and subjective ride quality.

Keep in mind that too much rotational mass will destroy handling and ride. Shoot for less than 25lb wheel ( plus tire ) if possible.

I need to make a decision soon on summer wheels and tires. From what I can tell, the most popular upgrade is 17x8, 235/45-17. I'm also interested in 17x8.5, 245/40-17 or 245/45-17. Anyone know if these will rub on an A6 with PSK suspension?

245/45-17 would (actually Gary@Ronal recommended them to me). But they are heavier, more expensive and slightly oversized (~1.4% too big in diameter)
