Anyone using 16" aftermarket wheels on their F56?

Hoping to see pictures of aftermarket 16" wheels on a F56... OZ, Motegi, Konig. I like the smaller wheels bigger tires look in general.

Thank you!

I guess this isnt a popular choice, but I went for it anyway. Here is the result:

Pretty sure that you cannot fit a 16" on a JCW... due to the big brake caliper.

Specs?

I’m a little surprised that you went from OEM 17’s down to an aftermarket 16 option that weighs MORE than the OEM setup. Also, which lug bolts are those?

Went from oem 16x6.5 with 195/55 to aftermarket 16x7.5 with 225/50... The Konig wheels are actually lighter, the weight gain are in the tires. BiG tires! Still a pretty light weight setup... lighter than most if not all 17" setup with similar size tire.

Titanium lug bolts from ACER Racing

Noticed this thread a little late, but been running these for a couple years. They are the OEM winter wheels (winterfelgen) option for the 1st gen Audi A8 in Germany. 16x7.5 +42, 5x112. Weight listed as 13.7 lbs, but I weighed mine closer to 14. Found them on a Westfalia forum- you see VW people running them on rare occasion. I had to have the centers bored out to 66.6, got ball seat lug adapters, and I had them powdercoated. There are caps too, with the Audi logo, looks kinda silly with them though. I love the steelies look, and love these wheels! I do with they were 17 though... much better tire choices, and a bit better handling too. But still in love despite these shortcomings!

These are Sparco Terra 16x7 which were my winter set up. Love these wheels. Wish I had better shots of them because they really do look great on the car. I'm upgrading to the John Cooper Works big brake kit in a few weeks per good reviews on NAM and sad to say these won't fit. Jumping to the 18x7 will just look weird IMO.
