Arrow AMG wheels on an Audi

What do you guys think about that? AMG is still a MBZ/Euro tuner.

Yes or No? What do you guys think? These photos were done in Photoshop, just to show the AMG wheels look.

depends on the weather
I have seen it in person but, there is usually vibration issues since Audi has a different centerbore than MB .... and AMG wheels are not designed to accept a centering ring

I have those AMGs left over from my old C Class, I wanted to put those on my A4, I have plain center caps. What do you think? I dont want to buy new wheels, I have them for sale in the classifieds though.

Can you tell me what Id have to do? Vibration issues? Centerbone? What do you recommend?

Thanks a lot for posting that pic. Thats a B5 A4, doesnt look bad with AMGs. So he didnt need modifications or additional parts to have them fit?

Yes, that's the older model A4, so it's a B5 Sorry not much of an Audi person.
What's the latest model A4? Cuz I just saw one last weekend being fitted with 19" Carlsson 1/16. And it didn't look like it needed modifications.

Talking Copy

I personally saw A4 with AMG and Brabus!!! But after research, I realized that those wheels are replicas and not the real ones. So I AGREE with Luke.

Cool Good Luck

No no no, I know yours are the real ones. I just meant that the problem Luck mentioned above could occur.

See, if you put the replica ones, those might be customized specifically for A4, so the problem could be avoided. That's maybe one of the reason people are buying replica AMG (new AMGs are not expensive at all) for A4.

Good luck.

Thanks. Ive been out of the wheel market for quite sometime, I may get back into it. I didnt know. So the problem of vibration and AMGs not designed to take a center piece. Could these cause serious problems, short term or long term? I need to buy all the parts to make them fit.
