I was only able to view #3 but that is nice. I like the depth of it.

Of the three listed, I like the Anella because it's sleek.

I may have a pic of the Polo [u]on</u> a PT so I'll look for it. I think I also have a pic of my car with one stock 16" and one 18" installed. It's a dramatic comparison...

none of those are my taste...but, to each his own. I like the cleaner style of wheels. To me they should look like they match the shape of the vehicle-to some extent

Yea, I like the 5 spoke to on the PT's. It looks good. I want something different though.

But we just ordered the Anella's, Cant wait

Those Audi rims would look tight...

Car has been lowered, but look at the difference [^] Looks like the Tire Rack ad...




Kinda like the Polo Botox, but these are 255/35/[u]20</u>s.

They are Oettinger RE's. I've got a set of them on the car now in an 18x8 35 offset size. They look OK, the face of the wheel probably wouldn't want to be out any further(ie: 30 offset or any wider of a wheel), but they don't look as big as you might think- the lip makes them look small for their size.
I'll try to get some pics.

I may be selling them soon. Has a set of 225/40-18 Toyo Proxes Fz4 tires with good tread. I've found some other wheels that are on the way.

btw: these RE wheel/tire feel ligher than the stock, chrome GT wheel/tire.
