Default Black on Black on Black Sportback

Hi all. Just sharing some pics of my wife's sportback. We are in Australia so BO is available right away.
Car is lowered about an inch using H&R springs (the only option I could find at the time).
Wheels are Work Gnosis FMB01 in 20x10 +32 (fully forged and much lighter than stock 19's)
Tyres are 275/30 ContiSport Contact 6.

Ride quality with wheels and lowering is extremely similar to stock. Very happy with it.

Wow, very nice looking beast. The little bit of chrome on the emblems/ s-line/sills really pops out against the rest of the trimwork and I really like it in contrast to a completely murdered out car (which would also look cool).

Nice. Did you need any spacers with that ET/setup?

Never seen an Audi on Work wheels before - they have an excellent quality reputation. And hadn't seen their Gnosis FMB model before, these must be quite new. I like them a lot.

I assume these had to be ordered from Japan by your distributor - did this take long, and how did you know they would clear the brakes?

This fitment looks excellent in terms of ET and sizing - running about 6mm higher with a 275/30 R20, but with the H&R drop of 15mm this balances out nicely filling the arches without looking like it will rip them off on a bump mid corner. Top stuff!

Brave having a black car in Queensland - no sun roof was smart

beautiful car and your choices are perfect for it.

I also love how your wife's ride blends perfectly with the style lines of your neighborhood architecture.
