Default Oh if only...

I did such a good job that I'm now even more furious that the bolt patterns don't match...

I heard that the Mini Cooper Rims are close to the stock 16x6.5 RX300 rims, though I think the offsets are different. My biggest issue has been trying to get lightweight OEM rims (too easy to get something in a different inch rim), but every time I find something the bolt pattern is only 4 bolts.

My uncle has an RS4 and indeed it is the most ridiculously fast thing I have ever driven.

And as for me getting RS4 rims on my car...even the fake one's are a grand a piece. But if I really wanted to spend money on them, Audi said that they could order a rim that was not drilled and that they would drill bolt holes and if needed use adapters. That would run me about 2g's a piece. without tires.

I'm pretty sure that I'm looking to spend under 700 for a wheel with a tire!

Have you played with the java applet at Tirerack.com? It even uses a white 300 for the "model", they have a ton of wheels and tires.

i think the site may still be running a group buy. i used to have a couple of audis before and will will possibly be buying another one soon, and I've heard good stuff about velocity. as for wheel adapters, try fred goeske at wheeladapter.com
