Default need tire and wheel advice

i do not have my p car yet, but in the mean time i want to keep tracking my Audi A4 2.0t 6spd and sport suspension. Since i plan on purchasing another car just for the track i just want some cheap wheels and good tires i can have some fun with, this way if i lose money on the resale it will not be to crazy.

thanks

Not sure what you are asking for - advice on track wheels / tires for an Audi? Ironically, I have an 07 A4 2.0T manual with Sport Suspension as my daily driver and have been happy with it. If I were tracking it, I wouldn't bother changing wheels and tires - save your money for the Porsche If determined to get a new set, try TireRack configuration for a set or try one of the Audi forums where people know Audi so much better.

Depending on the size needed the following are all great dual purpose track and street tires. No secod set of rims needed.

Yokohama AD07's My Favorite $$$$$$$$
Bridgestone RE01R $$$$$
Dunlop Direzza Star Spec. $$$

How are you defining "cheap"? Inexpensive bling wheels or used BBS's? My point is dont buy junk for the track. I have seen very good wheels come apart at the track. If your stock wheels are decent, consider using those and buy something else for DD.

see if you can find a cheap set of used stock take-off wheels on an audi forum, then buy some Nitto NT01's for them.
