Nope, just ordered them. No spacers should be required; these are identical in specs to the OEM RS7 wheels.

The Hartmann wheels were actually my backup plan. Their website says they will fit the S6. They are a lot more expensive than the oemwheelsplus rims, and I wonder if the quality is any better.

I'd love to hear from anyone who has seen them side to side. Also, nobby, please report back on the fit of the oemw+ rims you ordered. If those fit the S6, it's an easy choice at that price.

I would also be curious to know if the OEM+ wheels will also take Audi center caps.

Obviously, they won't take the "starfish" style caps from the 20" S6 wheels, but they SHOULD take the standard round Audi caps. I'll report back on this as well, as I plan to order some.

I thought I saw on another forum here that someone had an issue fitting the round Audi caps with some wheels from OEM+. I know my S4 Hartmann's did work with the round Audi caps.

On my Hartmann wheels the round center caps fit perfectly. The wheels came with Hartmann round center caps, and the OEM Audi ones I purchased (from the Hartmann website) work perfectly as well.

Are you sure about the offset?

Rob Cheng's site has the S6 wheel as ET45 and S7 as ET32. That doesn't make sense... they should be the same offset, right? And the Hartmann site lists ET38 for the S6.

Anyway, let us know how they fit when you get the rims.

Thanks!

Interesting...I know Tire Rack recommends a ET35 for a 19" on the S6, and that's what these are . OEM Wheels Plus confirmed. Picking them up tonight (they require either an inperson signature or drop off at a FedEx/Kinko's...ugh), so I will know for sure tonight or tomorrow.

Nope. They are different models and the 7's have a wider track.
