V10 Style Alloys on D3?
Stumbled across these images. I quite like the style. Rims shown in pics are 22". I am considering the 19" version.
How do they look? |

To me they look too big and the car seems very high on the suspension as well.

Yes they look too big because they're 22" but what do you think about this style in 19"? My suspension is not modified.

Sorry fella, don't think that style suits the subtle lines of the car, I do like the rotor arm style thats on the newer Audis.
But each to their own, be a boring world if we all agreed eh.

I am by no means sold on them. Just scouting for opinions/suggestions.
My current alloys are pretty battered. Cost to refurb them would near cost of aftermarket rims. |

Nice wheels, nice car, but they don't suit each other at all.
Not a fan of mixing new wheel trends on old cars. |

I'm sure they'd look fine on an Evoque. Or you could try these?
