Not a fan of the stock wheels though. The Z looks weird with a lot of wheels people put on personally.

Drove to the body shop steaming mad, manager showed me the piece that broke, small plastic piece that holds the lock/unlock button in place. Whew, nothing serious. He made it sound like the whole ******* handle was ripped out, then dropped and backed over by a 4x4 lol. Told him to glue that POS back into place when done and call it a day.
Wide awake now though, who needs sleep

i like the stock 19's, just dont care for the weak offsets they come in. it needs to be pushed out just a hair more. like 15mm front, 10mm rear. thats all that it takes at stock height.

I like Audi wheels for some reason. I'm weird. Don't they make a cheaper sub-version of your wheels though for roughly $250?

Leingod · 05-18-2015, 12:32 PM

I was also thinking about these

JF Luxury 130 | The Official SAM Wheels Website

Something like those at least. Staggered and concaved.

absolutely just do the spacers and lower your ride if you want to go for looks.
you'd want to run 20mm spacers front and rear if you're going to lower your ride, and run 285/35/19 tires on the back.

if u want to go more for driving keep the offset stock, run RE11's 245/40/19 and 285/35/19 and get a front swaybar 30-35% stiffer than stock.

audi wheels look good on an audi, but it's up to you. i like concave styling for our curvy cars.
