TTQ B4U Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 My new S4 has the stock 19" Peeler Style wheels with summer rubber. I'm not interested in spending a ton of money but is anyone here familiar with these? Here's the same car with them on it. Are they decent quality? I'm liking them and heck could see them as the summer set and the stock peelers as the winter set? http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/05/02/cd51422a8a59dd61a5863b08cb260936.jpg http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/05/24/03845b837410905280c86d19f389947b.jpg vs Stock: http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj84/crms3er/blue_zps0mhvcq7h.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Versluis Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 I think they will look great! That exhaust though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EROtero Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 I'm a fan of "racing silver" wheels on a dark car like this one, unless you are planning on painting black the chrome accent trims around the windows, grill and emblems. Those Niche are really nice tho. For exhaust there is only one place I would look at, Milltek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Brian Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 Anything is better than those carrot peelers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geeesammy Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 Either need to be an inch bigger or the car needs to sit and inch lower and it will look pretty good IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGGU Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 I put a set on a buddys car, were very heavy and took alot of weight to balance them out. if your only interest is to look ok then these are for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do seem to come in heavier than I thought and would like. 28lbs each. However, they do look good and what I've found they are about the same lbs as the peelers.

TTQ B4U Posted July 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 . For exhaust there is only one place I would look at, Milltek. They do make a bad-ass sounding exhaust for the S4, but they are $2,100-$3,800 proud of that sound. :zoom: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTQ B4U Posted July 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 Muff delete and be done with it. Non resonated downpipe or simply replacing the resonator with an x-pipe set up really seems to give it a good sound under load. My only huge concern is interior sound and reverb. Likely going to leave it stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only huge concern is interior sound and reverb. Likely going to leave it stock. It drones at certain rpm range. This is vehicle dependent and each will act with slight variation but the consensus is that it drones somewhere between 2k-35k rpm. If you don't mind it go for it. Also getting piggy pipes to rid off the pre-cats helps keeping the engine bay a bit cooler which may/may not translate into extra power but drones even more. My co-worker and I went through this whole deal with his S4 and he ended with piggy pipes and Milltek cat-back, sound is perfect! They do make a bad-ass sounding exhaust for the S4, but they are $2,100-$3,800 proud of that sound. :zoom: If you google for 10min you can find it for under $1400 shipped (cat-back resonated).

Have resolved to save that for next year as I'm already pretty deep into mods on my list that I'm going to be doing this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTQ B4U Posted July 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 Prices for ya friday tim Thanks Derek. The stock rubber (summer only Continentals) is at about 50% according to the dealer, so let's just swap them over onto the new wheels. We can put winter rubber on the factor peelers later this fall. I'd like to match the wheels in size to the stock ones. Not sure of the off-set. I'll let your expertise come back to me. I just don't want the protruding out from the fenders like a 16yr old kids car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dafunk13 Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 Definitely better than stock. I'd get something lighter if I were buying new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted July 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 Definitely better than stock. I'd get something lighter if I were buying new. I'm torn again. Likely going to stay with the stock peelers as the car I landed on has like new rubber on them. I've switched to thinking I'll mount the Niche's with winter rubber. Will be nice to have some sexy wheels in the winter too Here's the car: http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj84/crms3er/20150703_165127_zps5gw6dcx0.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
