I like that look better for my moonlight blue metallic color as grey wheels on a dark blue car just don't do it for me. Hartmann does offer the titanium color too if you are so inclined. I'll take a pic and post it but it will not be until next spring when I mount the summer wheels/tires.
Spring sprung early here in Maryland so I mounted my summer tire / wheel package over the weekend. 19"x8.5" Hartmann reps with 255/40-19" Pilot Sports. Big difference, of course, over the 18" stock sport wheels shod with Blizzak WS-70's. Here's some pics:

Great pics! I think I may just have to go get my summers on the A6 today!

I ordered exhaust from Stasis yesterday too!

They look very nice, Hartmann always seems to do a good job.

das2.7t, let me know when you track down the fitment. Hartmann keeps telling me the 19" 5-spokes require 10mm spacers. Thanks!

Sent you a PM. They were 19" x 8.5", +38 and only required a 5mm spacer. More details in the PM.

What tire recommendations (sidewall height) is everyone using with their 19" wheels?

I used the stock 19" config: 255/40-19. Ride is firm but not harsh. A lot of that depends on the individual tire and suspension setting. Mine is factory sport suspension and Michelin Pilot Sports.

beautiful pics, das2. I have a c7 in quartz grey, thinking of getting the same hartmann rims you got, but in anthracite. I'm glad the new wheels fill out the wheel well as good as it looks in your pics. I have a C7 *without* the sport package, and it looks funny as far as the wheel well spacing right now (too much). I am hoping 19" will help somewhat. how do you like the tires you chose? 255/40-19. if you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for them? (and from where). It's funny, tires cost almost just as much as the wheels themselves
