Most seem to run f/r 12/10 mm w/40 mm bolt
Get h&r hubcentric
That's what I run
Under extreme compression with steering wheel turned with 245/265 tires it rubs slightly right front
No issue with oem size tires

Cheap mod
Audi lug bolt caps
The color matches oem wheels perfect and very close to your wrap
I'll find a link
http://m.ebay.com/itm/351182498157?nav=SEARCHIf you buy ask him to toss in a couple for free
You may lose one

Awesome! Who sells the longer bolts? I have an Audi store that I work closely with, so I'll see if I can get them cheaper directly from them.

ECS sells a branded H&R bolt
Very tough dull silver coating
Been using them ( h&r) for years
Heads don't round off, threads stay sharp and very little corrosion

Once it's tinted it will look clean.

Looks great, just need the new side mirrors and spacers and it'd be real clean.

Wrap looks great! Throw some springs on for a more aggressive stance. PM if interested we have H&R on sale.

Enjoy the ride!

I've debated lowering it, but the roads here in DFW suck. Only other thing I would consider is the right set of wheels. I don't want to do black wheels, but something a bit bigger and more open would be it...

Anyways, enough rambling...onto the pics! Comments/Criticism always welcome. it's been a while since I've busted out the proper camera, so go easy on me!

These pics actually came from my phone!!









No need to apologise for anything, great pics, great looking car and love the colour. The right wheels will complete the deal, we'll done!

The car looks awesome, even better after tint!

A drop will set it off nicely with spacers... wheels would be a plus.

I've got the same wheels you do, at first I wanted black wheels but the oem gunmetal grey ones have really grown on me

It might be the picture angle but yours has a lower looking stance for some reason, I like it

You are in Dallas so when do we get to see it! Lots of good car meets coming up this month!
I went to one in Cisco, TX last weekend. Everything there gets covered in West TX red dirt. I thought to myself what a great idea to have someone do a wrap the same color as the red dirt or possibly a cracked red clay color LOL. I sold a couple Vettes out there, biggest complaint locals have is the dust and dirt. Looks great love to see your ride sometime!

What meets are there? I would love to find some. My problem is normally I travel every week and only home on weekends, so mid week is tough for me. I am local this week however, and "working from home" so I'm always down to meet up any evening and grab a tasty adult beverage while talking shop!
