Hey I need some opinions here. I'm upping my stock 16's for 17's and have a couple options for rims. What's your thoughts? Choosing between OE B7 sport rims (split 5) or OZ Superleggara rims. The OZ's need one wheel refurbed due to curb rash (cosmetic only), and are rims only. The split 5's include 1 season used Potenza 960as pole position tires and a matching spare (5 wheels).

The split 5's are a better deal for sure, but do I want stock B7 wheels on my B6 avant? Or should I make it more unique with the OZ's (they'll cost more too)? Having a tough time deciding!

Here's the OZ's:


Here's the split 5's:


Not a huge difference in price between the sets, but I need to put tires on the OZ's still, but really, which would look better? Help me out here?

 

OZ's for sure.

 

Okay, I updated the pics to what they look more like. Why do you say the OZ's for sure? I like them, but you say it like there's no contest.

 

I like the Audi ones too, just the OZ's look more aggressive, and it sets your car apart. Plus they're probably lighter than the stocks.

 

What kind of money are we talking here? If it doesn't matter, then OZ FTW!

I'm usually a big fan of the OEM look, but those stockers are SO boring. They're everywhere. I totally agree with 99a4turbo that the OZ wheels will help set your car apart and should be lighter.

 

yeah, here's the thing, money does matter and I can get the OE wheels with the potenza 960as's and a fifth wheel (that's not a big deal, but it's there) for the same price as the OZ rims alone and one of the OZ's need a couple deep scratches fixed (no point in having pretty wheels with a couple big scars on them, though I could always get that fixed down the road).

Of course, I have snows for the car so I'll have until next summer to get tires, but I'll have to buy them eventually.

 

Well it sounds like the OZ's aren't a super great deal then. Whether you buy the OEM wheels or not, keep saving and get the summer wheels you really want.

 

Thanks for your input guys. It is helping. Just so you know, either set of wheels would cost me (without bargaining) $500

 

Well, ultimately it's your decision, but 500 for OZ's even w/o tires sounds really good. Though I paid 500 for my black 18" SSW Mesh rims, with tires. Heheh. These on kijiji?

 

What's the weight of the OEM wheels? I personally like the look of those OEM wheels, but if you can get those OZ's for that price, it's a good deal! The Superleggara's are super light!
