My question for the OEMplus is how much do they weigh? I like the looks of the gunmetal one's but seem to recall that their knock offs of the titanium type were pretty heavy compared to the moda I am considering.

Good question. I didn't think to ask him that.

My tire guy said that according to his database they *should* fit but agreed with OEMplus that since this is a facelifted model there *could* be fitment issues.

I went with the Hartmann RS4 reps in Hyperblack and love the color on my DSB. It's like two colors depending on the light. I just put on a BBK a couple of months ago, though and I'm not positive they will fit anymore. If not I'll be selling them (very clean) with the rubber (about 5k miles) and bumping up to 19's.

toecutter no offense but those OEMplus wheels look kinda terrible. Spokes are too thick and the concavity of the wheel is just not there.

If you want B7 RS4 reps, get the VMR708. They are hands down the best replica.

We have 19" VMR708 wheels on our B8 A4 Avant in gunmetal, and of course my RS4 has the real thing, and to be honest, they both look equally great. The reps are perfectly done.

I can't speak to quality etc. but 19x8.5 or 18x8.5 with ET38 offset in the VMR gunmetal is a great option on just about any car.

MOFSTEEL must love this rep thread

Just placed an order last night. I had a question about offsets as I want 18 inch wheels for winter and ordered the car with the 19's. Does anyone know what the offset, or ET for the stock 18 inch wheels for the S4 are? I was looking at oem reps from pyspeed and they have both et35 and 45.

Tires and wheels are on. Other than the pleasantly plump spokes I think they look pretty good.
