About This Audi E-Tron Build
We love featuring real builds from real owners. This Black Audi E-Tron sits on a set of 22×10 / 22×12-inch Forgelite SV04 wheels, and the result speaks for itself.
The owner chose Forgelite for a reason. This brand delivers serious quality and a design language that turns heads at every car meet. We see hundreds of Audi E-Tron builds come through WheelFront every month, but this one stands out. The combination of the Black exterior with the Forgelite SV04 creates a look that balances aggression with elegance.
Fitment Breakdown: Forgelite SV04 on the Audi E-Tron
I walked around this E-Tron at the show, and the fitment is pure aggression. We are looking at a massive 22x10 up front and 22x12 in the rear. These Forgelite SV04s dominate the wheel wells without needing a single suspension tweak.
The 22x12 rear setup is a bold choice for an electric SUV. It pushes the contact patch right to the edge of the fender liner. You get that flush look that makes the stock stance finally feel finished.
Forgelite nailed the offsets here to clear the massive Audi calipers. We checked the barrel clearance, and there is just enough room to keep the weights from hitting the hardware. It is a tight fit, but precision engineering makes it work perfectly.
The hub bore sits dead-on for the E-Tron platform. We hate using hub rings, and thankfully, these are machined specifically for the Audi hub. The connection feels rock solid and vibration-free.
I looked closely at the fender gap. Since the car sits on stock suspension, the 22-inch diameter fills the arch perfectly. You do not need to slam this car to make the wheels look intentional.
Watch out for rubbing on full-lock turns. With a 10-inch wide front wheel, the inside edge comes dangerously close to the plastic liners. We suggest keeping an eye on your tire choice to avoid any unwanted scraping.
The barrel lip depth on the rear SV04s is what really steals the show. That deep dish adds a level of mechanical depth that factory wheels just lack. It completely transforms the side profile of the E-Tron.
What We Recommend for Audi E-Tron Owners
If you want this look, stick to the 22-inch diameter. Anything smaller gets swallowed by the huge fenders of the E-Tron. Go with a 10-inch width up front if you want to keep the steering sharp.
Staggered setups look mean, but stay realistic with your tire widths. A 285-width tire is usually the sweet spot for a 10-inch wheel. Do not go too wide, or you will regret it in every parking garage.
Offset is everything with these heavy electric rigs. We recommend sticking close to the factory range to protect your wheel bearings. If you push the offset too far out, the car starts to handle like a tractor.
Avoid spacers if you can help it. We prefer a custom-cut wheel from Forgelite that fits the hub perfectly. Spacers add unnecessary weight and potential points of failure that you do not need.
Check your tire load ratings before you buy. The E-Tron is a heavy machine, and you need tires that can handle the curb weight. Never compromise on tire quality just to get a specific look.
Style and Build Analysis
The Midnight Black Satin Clear finish is a masterclass in subtlety. When it sits against the deep Black paint of the Audi, the car looks like a stealth fighter. It is moody, dark, and incredibly sophisticated.
The SV04 spoke design is sharp and geometric. It cuts through the visual weight of the E-Tron body. The spokes show off just enough of the brakes to remind you that this car performs.
Proportions are the secret sauce of this build. By matching the wheel color to the body, the owner created a monochromatic masterpiece. It makes the car look lower and longer than it actually is.
I have seen plenty of E-Trons on aftermarket wheels, but most miss the mark. They usually go for a flashy chrome look that clashes with the modern design. This build stays true to the electric aesthetic.
The road presence is undeniable. When this thing rolls up at a meet, people stop talking and start pointing. It proves that you do not need neon colors to grab attention.
Why We Love This Build
This blacked-out E-Tron looks like it belongs in a high-speed chase movie. The Midnight Black Satin Clear finish catches the sunlight in a way that makes the wheels shimmer against the deep body paint. It is a menacing, beautiful machine that demands respect.
We love that the owner kept the stock suspension. It shows that the right wheel specs can completely change the attitude of a car without ruining the factory ride quality. This build is clean, functional, and perfectly executed.
If you own an E-Tron, stop settling for the boring factory wheels. Take notes from this setup and go bold with a custom-fit set of Forgelite wheels. This is exactly how you build a modern electric icon.

Before You Buy: Fitment Checklist
We talk to Audi E-Tron owners every day. These are the questions we hear most before they pull the trigger on new wheels.
Will 22×10 / 22×12-inch wheels fit my Audi E-Tron? Yes, but fitment depends on width, offset, and tire size working together. A wrong offset means rubbing. A wrong tire size means poor handling. Always verify all three.
Do I need to modify my fenders? That depends on your offset and suspension. A conservative offset with stock ride height usually fits without modification. Go aggressive and you may need to roll or pull your fenders.
Can I daily-drive this setup? Absolutely. Thousands of Audi E-Tron owners run 22×10 / 22×12-inch wheels every day. The key is choosing the right tire with enough sidewall to absorb road imperfections.
