Default Re: I completely agree that the M40 is *the* choice for an aftermarket wheel, but......

Vijay they are not 1400. They are less as with everything with this economy. Let me know in the future if you are interested as we might do even better. For the record it will be the M40 satin charcole.

I don't like the separation of the spokes from the lip

Hate it. Give it up: HRE M40's or stock. Everything else sucks

Default I would say skip. As I see it, there are 4 possible reasons to get aftermarket wheels....

...and if your choice of wheel doesn't satisfy at least 1 of these 4 reasons, it doesn't make sense to get them:

1) better than OEM appearance (obviously subjective)
2) significantly lighter than OEM weight
3) stronger, forged construction
4) permits different tire sizes than OEM

So, the only of these criteria that the BBS CM *might* meet is #1, and that's purely subjective...but if you like them, go for it.

NEEZ QD7s would look great on the RS4.

Default I like it but not for the RS4. The HRE M40/P40 is the only way to go aftermarket with the RS4...

because otherwise, it's tough to beat stock.

Default I have those on my TT. Always thought they'd look good on the RS4 too.

Thing is, if I change wheels, the new ones also have to be lighter. The RSS Kahns, in 19" are going to weigh about the same as the OEM wheels. I wish they made a forged version.
