I took off the 18" that came with my car & replaced with these.
I believe wheels are close to A7 & A8 wheels and are replicas.
They are 20" with Falken FK452 summer tires size 255/35-20.
I feel $1570 delivered to my door is a great deal compared to original wheels.
First photo 18" wheels & tires.

Very cool! They look just like the A7 20" sport package wheels. If you don't mind me asking, where did you get them from and will they fit the A7?

They are nice looking wheels, but I put up with large diameter wheels and Z rated tires on my Corvette. Do not want nor need anything like that on an A6, I'd rather have a much better ride and tire life, way less noise and somewhat less handling. Not to mention not having to buy winter tires.
Glad you like the package :)

I' gonna use my 18" wheels & tires that came with car for winter.
Noise is very little especially with radio on all the time :) Performance way better!

But will be hard to take care of.
Also I think you mounted the tires wrong. The tread is supposed to be pointing in the other direction in that front wheel I think. With aqua tread tires.

I'm not aware these are directional tires does not say so on them?
I sure hope I did mount them correct & will look into this. Thanks for tip!

Thanks sooooo much!
I need better readers tires do say "Rotation" and arrow for right & left side.
I have 2 tires on wrong & gonna correct it now. Wonder if I messed up the tires somehow?
Rears are correct just the fronts need to be switched.

That's interesting, the stock offset is 45. Do you notice the wheel sitting in or out relative to the 18's?
Does your A6 have the sport package option?

My stock offset is 39 on 2012 A6 so 3 off is no concern.
Seems to be ever so slight outward compare to the 18" wheels.
No I don't have the sport package but I do have the "Prestige" if that makes a difference?

Nice wheels! They are a pain to clean, though. Pressure washer is your best friend.
