Many people use the term "tire" interchangeably with the Audi A6 wheel. However, tires and wheels refer to two different components on your car. Technically speaking, the tire is the rubber piece that mounts on the wheel.

The A6 wheel, therefore, is the round metal ring that is actually fastened to your vehicle. Your Audi A6 wheels will typically either have four or five holes in the center, which are designed to be threaded onto lugs (thick metal posts extending from your wheel mounts).

The A6 wheels are held in position with lug nuts that must be tightened strongly and evenly to ensure your wheels do not run crooked or separate from your vehicle. There are many different types and styles for Audi A6 wheels. Though the two basic categories for A6 wheels are cast alloy or stamped sheet metal, Audi A6 wheels are available in steel, magnesium, cast aluminum, billet aluminum, and even wire. Wire A6 wheels consist of an inner ring, an outer ring, and a series of spokes that connect the two together. Generally, stock Audi A6 wheels are the stamped sheet metal variety, as they are suitable for most general purposes and less expensive. Many car owners choose to upgrade to cast alloy A6 wheels. There are more styles available for cast alloy Audi A6 wheels, and they not only throw off more heat, but they are also lighter than stamped sheet metal, which reduces your vehicle's unsprung weight and improves handling and performance.If you are looking for a set of custom A6 wheels, look no further than our extensive online catalogue for a wide selection of Audi A6 wheels at great discount prices.
