Unikom/Gary quick question...
On your website you said
"The original wheels/tyres weighs in at a hefty 39lbs each!
The RS4 Alloy rims, chosen to replace them, weigh 28.5lb"
That isn't the weight of the RS4 rim + tires is it? I thought they were actually fairly heavy. The 16 inch stock wheels I thought were pretty light, it's mainly tire weight getting them to 39 pounds.

Evan .... 28.5lb is the RS4 type rim weight alone .....
The Eagle F1s add a further 22.5lb each. So, 51lb total 'dead weight' per corner .... All a bit nasty eh?

Ride height - '92 S4 Avant?

With the original rims & tyres on the car, measured vertically from the ground through the centre of the hub to the lower edge of the wheel arch, it stands 27.25" high at the front & 27.75" at the rear.
How does that compare with 'lowered' cars?

Why?
They're overpriced as far as wheels go unless you REALLY need to reduce unsprung weight that much. I just got a set of 17x8 flik lex w/tires for 1100 delivered from Edge Racing.
