Got the itch for new rims...

My inner JDM still really likes RPF1's.

Ugh, same. But the 18x8 RPF1 face looks awful. The RPF1s in this photo are 18x9 +35, and that's the "narrowest" you can get them with this slightly inset, slightly concave face.
But to make them work, you need a ton of fender work (if you don't want stretched tires and/or lots of neg camber). And I'm not putting 215 or 225 tires on a 9" wheel.... so I think I'm giving up on them.

Konig Hypergrams give a bit of a concave effect in a +45, 8” wide wheel. They’re not terribly expensive either.

Those look good. For me, it's more about concave than a lip. I'm more than likely going with Konig Ampliforms. My first choice was the RAYS Gram Lights 57DR, but they seem to be impossible to get in the configuration I want (on backorder, was told it'd be 3 months back in March, was told it'd be 3 months again just a few weeks ago...)

Ah well, Ampliforms give a decent amount of depth. This pic is 18x8.5 +43 with 235/40 tires.

Those look great. Konig is killing it lately.

I've seen a lot of black on black and now I worry the rims may get "lost" with all that black...

These look pretty nice, too...thoughts?

I agree with you black rims do get lost on a dark car. I really like the A4 rims you have now.
I do, too...guess I'm just getting bored and wanna do something for it. 🤓

I currently have the Audi A4s on my car:

They are called "Rotors" ;)


I don't approve of black wheels period (even though I had them on my last GTI for a short time, then came to my senses lol) and really don't like them on black cars. Yeah, there's something to be said about the murdered out look, but just not for me. Best look on the black would be a nice bronze (not gold) color, or if you want to make a statement go with white.

Those in either Bronze or White would look positively sick. I actually plan to get those for my R for my street tires.
