Default What lowered spring do you using?

I have my future plan to fit the new 18" rim on my UrS6.i found this wheel on my local wheel shop with the bargain price.but i'm sure that is not OEM one.it would be the copied wheel.Can anyone tell me that this wheel is originally fitted with what model?
<img src="http://rcweb.net/gallery/data/550/medium/S418rim.jpg">

so i'm looking for the lowered spring that is best suit for the S-car.what i'm looking for is H&amp;R or Eibach.which one is preferred?
and part no needed.Thank you

RS6 wheels. The replicas are likely to be less wide, and much heavier.

Default it's 8*18 and i see only "Germany" at the back...

No identified the manufacturer.
what i'm afraid is the durabiliity.
because the road in my country is like a hell.
the price for 4 rims only $620

Default I think 8" wide is the proper width.

Meh, they can't be all THAT bad. OEM is best, but you figure you can get 2 or 3 sets of knock-offs for one set of OEMs. Odds are they won't bend if you avoid pot holes, and if one does then you can buy a one new wheel and still have it be cheaper than a set of OEMs.

Default hmm, most replicas (like ones on ebay) are 18x8.5 only place I've seen 8" wide

RS6 wheel is Hartman, so I would "assume" that is a pretty durable wheel.

Default what i've seen definitely is not hartman...

my guess is this replicas is manufactured in Taiwan or somewhere else.So I'm worrying it. :-(

Default The wheel you are talking about is made in Thialand , I have a sample on my desk

Not a bad casting but the design is off quite a bit.There is also a 8.0 version out of China but it is crap. The Italian one has not hit the US in any numbers yet the foundry is tough to deal with.<ul><li><a href="http://www.hartmannwheels.com">http://www.hartmannwheels.com</a</li></ul>
