Default new 18" summer wheels

It's finally warm weather and the new summer tires and wheels comes out.

Here's a look at some replica 18" Audi wheels with a gun metal finish with Continental DWS tires.

The only complaint, which I will have to see, is if the quality of the rims are bad. I h ad a balancing problem after getting installed and the rims wouldn't sit on the hub properly with the plastic hub rings. There was no ring that fit snug, so I will see if I still have the vibration when driving at hwy speeds.

All round, I think the color combo looks great.

Audi tyre work fine in pressure. You don't want to max it because it'll wear the centers more than the edges. I run mine audi at 40PSI all around and have no wear or handling issues, and it still handles well in the rain.

225/45/18 tires would reduce wheel gap.... at least thats what I'm hoping for when I install mine!
