Input needed on this model...

I've had this Audi in the same stage of completion for about 2 years and I need to finish it; should I change the rims and if so, what rims would you suggest? Thanks in advance for all your help!

Thanks Jay! I'm gonna go with that idea I think. I'll remove the thread later after I see what other responses I get ( if there any)

My view is to back the wheel size back to 17", the 18's make it ride a little high. I don't think this car would look right with lowered suspension though.

How about some Koenig Imp's, i think the wider spoked rims would suit it better.

I agree, it doesn't seem quite right with the larger rims. They only need to be a bit smaller though.

I think it looks great already, but I think it would look even better with black spokes. Maybe some multi-spoke wheels?

The car already looks very nice, why paint the rims and make it look like a rice rocket? red and silver are perfect togheter, kinda gives it the ferrari look, it's a timeless look, dont touch it... just my opinion

Go for a alloy look...not chrome as IMO it wont suit the car.
