Potential New Owner

I'm close to buying an RS6 and have some questions for you experienced owners.

1. I want to change the wheels and tires to either 19" or 20". What recommendations do you have for either?

2. I want to improve the handling of the car. What is the best start, ie: lowering, if so, what do you recommend, sway bars, etc...

3. What exhaust systems do you recommend to improve performance and sound without going to extremes.

Thanks for your suggestions and recommendations.

This may help:

We can build either 19 or 20" wheels in HRE or Kinesis for the RS6. We can go up to a 9" wheel all around using a 255/35/19 or a 255/30/20. No mods needed. Check out our website, if you see anything that like in those 2 lines let me know and ill get a quote together for you.

http://www.wheelexperts.com (check the gallery, there are already one or 2 RS6s in there)
http://www.kinesismotorsport.com (since we dont have these on our site yet)

Here are suggestions for the RS6 in terms of rims.

19" or 20" - the choice is yours. Both will fit.
