Thanks! They are custom built 3pc. CCW LM5's. Super light and strong. With the tires mounted, I would say they are half the weight of the speedlines I have

Finally got the car out for the first fun session of the year yesterday. No rubbing or any issues under full throttle or through the twisties. Its amazing how much of a difference lighter wheels make. So glad I decided to go with the 9's and 11's. Car feel nice and planted 
Pics coming soon and hopefully some good rolling shots too

So how much clearance do you have between the curl on the lip and the trailing arm in the rear? How much do your wheels hag out of the wheel well?
Are you using spacers at the front?

There's about 4mm of clearance on the inside. Nothing hanging out of the wheel well and no spacers up front. I took a few pics today that I will post up a bit later. Gotta grab something to eat first

Here's some pics
A couple from the driveway earlier today...
and a few others...
Still going to "Tweak" the stance a bit. Hoping to get the car just a smidge lower. But full throttle and corners will be the final judge of that

OMG! that car looks amazing in these pics; what yr is it? I think you wheels/tires turned out perfect!
Nice Audi too by the way! Looks like someone loves red cars... Ive had a couple A4's, now own an 04 A8L...Hopefully by next year I can add a Porsche to the garage

Yourself and Metal Guru with your 91's make my hunt to decide what year I want very difficult. Sad thing is it will probably be about a yr before I can buy, so my options may be limited by then.
The 91's are definitely stunning!

Don't forget it is not only the wheel size but the offset the tire size the tire shape (varies by manufacturer) along with the ride height and stiffness of suspension. I guess you have to consider your comfort zone too.
