Just bought a set of 18" with 245/40 Dunlops for $2300. There is MINOR redrilling <br>required... If you buy them through Wheel Power they'll take care of that... and a center <br>adapter is used for the best fit w/out compromising performance and/or handling. Most <br>people have bought the rims w/tires for around $2800. They look awesome. Attached is <br>a picture

How's it going? If that's a picture of your car...well I guess you must be very pleased because it looks fantastic. The more pictures I see of the A4 with these wheels makes me want them more. A couple of questions: Did the minor re-drilling blemish or make a noticeable mark on the wheels at all? Also, are these 18" wheels relatively heavy or light? Your response is greatly appreciated.<p>Paul C

There is MINOR redrilling required... and MAJOR<br>troubles about your safety and potentially with<br>insurance in case of accident. Ok I know there<br>is no quality norms for rims in USA but <br>nevertheless if the rim is not by design <br>engineered for your car I let you imagine what<br>could happen if you break one just in a curve<br>testing the perfect handling of your car at 100 mph... Hello s..t providing the fact you're still<br>alive ! I also agree that if it is just to show <br>off in the parking lot it is not too much <br>risky ;-)<p>These rims are terrific and I would love to <br>equip my car with, but it is really too much<br>stress knowing the rims are not designed for it.<p>My 2 cents<p>Greetings Laurent<br>

Actually the redrilling is offsetted with an ADAPTER and Wheel Power GUARANTEES the work. The redrilling only a few millimeters on the back of the rim. I have never heard/seen/met/etc. a person loosing a rim that was redrilled... I respect your comments, but I can not agree with you. <p>ANY rim will be destroyed during a "curb test" @ 100mph if you hit the curb... if it breaks for any other reason... redrilled or not then the blame is on the quality of the rim.
Also, any problems w/ rubbing? And how wide are the rims?<br>

The rims are 18 x 8.5. No problems with rubbing. I have the H&R Race springs installed on the car.

The redrilling in NOT noticeable. No marks on the front portion of the wheels. The rims are light and forged well. I love these wheels!<p>98.5QM H&Rrace, Hamann
