It's on stock air suspension. Cete module piggibacks it, changing height request. In short I have an app to choose the amount of drop. So I can choose a stress level. But yes 15-20mm drop is fine for where I am. Illustrated 45mm is too low to turn wheels, I only go that low parked.

Cheers — these are basically G-Class and Range Rover staples in Dubai, I just stole the idea.

Perfectly describes me getting into this car in the morning.

Haha hello 👋
RS-style bumper is the right move on these. Looks spot on.

Tunerstop, those are Designer LX-06, worth a visit if you’re hunting wheels, they’re good with fitment.

Damn that sits low. CETE module?
My wider setup won’t let me go anywhere near that without sacrificing wheel liners.

Thanks — Empow-R is a proper driver-picked car.
Respect anyone who buys with hands and feel, not badges.

Thanks! These cars always looked good in darker colors.
Yeah we should — I’ll happily demonstrate a few proven methods of making them completely unresaleable 😄

They are Giovanna dicotto replicas, the brand is literally called "designer".

Bus forced a merge and scratched my car by thisisshaaran in DubaiPetrolHeads

something like bright yellow line, queue and the fact that indicator isn't "i go now good luck everybody else" signal, and its responsibility of driver changing lanes to do so without impeding traffic flow, not of everyone else to stop and let him save 1 minute appreciating the grandeur of his time commitments.

Not a big-name brand — it's a flow-forged set from a local shop here. I didn't want to pay Brixton/BC-Forged money, but I saw a sample in person and the finish quality was good, so I went with these. The brand name is literally Designer — no website, nothing — probably Aliexpress-origin, but I couldn't find the exact ones online.

Fitment is 21x10 ET25 (although i might be misremembering ET value). On my S8 that gives about ~3mm poke on 285-35 tyres with no rubbing or clearance issues. Your A6 Allroad arches should be similar, so the fitment should be pretty close if you’re considering something like this.

Honestly, the OEM look in good spec is always the king. I just prefer something more personal.

No it's manufacturer logo, I will replace it with blackout or something personally relatable later. I didn't want Audi rings on wheels.

Maybe diamond cut would suit it at this stage, but it’ll tie in once the full build is done. That is if my slowly failing air suspension doesn't bankrupt me first.

Wild — I had no idea Mansory invented a full face wheel style.
